but I'm not invovled in any tutorial or a program that uses one. Please check
your records. Thanks.

Glad it's helpful; I'm enjoying going through it!
I can see that you've spent a lot of effort to make things clear, and it really
helps.
After stumbling through Chapter 9 (Queries), I'm now completely stuck at
Chapter 10 (Reports) for lack of a functional database: there's no data to try
the examples on!
Of course I can enter some data, but an interesting report (or query) requires
more records than I'm interested in typing.
It could be a big win if the text was accompanied by a complete sample data
set. Then, all the examples and student exercises found in the text could be
run on a realistic data set, and the output compared to the expected answer
shown in the text.
I've read other database books that worked that way and it really made the
material much more practical.
You've already thought about this, I'm guessing; no?
My sample data set is almost finished; if it's of any use, you're welcome to it.
