• Chapter 26: Introduction to SQL
• Chapter 27: Building Databases with SQL Scripts
• Chapter 28: Database Maintenance
• Chapter 29: Database Security

The chapters in the final part of this book deal with advanced topics. Though a good grasp of these topics is not strictly necessary for designing a database, it is very important for database practitioners. You can design a database without understanding these topics, but it's unlikely that you will do a good job implementing the database without at least some awareness of them.

Chapter 26 provides an introduction to SQL (Structured Query Language). Chapter 27 explains how to use SQL to make scripts that create, populate, and otherwise manipulate databases. Chapter 28 discusses database maintenance issues, and Chapter 29 describes database security.

Although these chapters don't cover every last detail of these topics, they should provide you with enough background to let you build a database competently.
