5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Database Design book ever,
By André Granville (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conceptual Database Design: An Entity-Relationship Approach (Paperback)
Following my teacher's recommendation, I bought this book for a class I had on Conceptual Database Design. This book is a masterpiece on data modeling, covering conceptual, logical and phisical database design in a clear and direct way. One of the bests parts of the book are the plenty exercises on the end of each chapter. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a serius database designer.

This review is from: Conceptual Database Design: An Entity-Relationship Approach (Paperback)
The book is a very detailed explanation of the ER model, though it lacks of some mathematical formalisms.
Each chapter is completed by exercises and a terrific annotated bibliography. Part One describes the model and gives a methodology about design. Examples are provided, maybe, representations of instances like in section 3.4 of Elmasri, Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems are missing, unless referring to Chen's paper. Part Two completes the design by the functional analysis; definitely helpful is chapter 10. Part Three takes to the logical design and reverse engineering for relational, network, and hierarchical models. Chapter 15 is of course outdated. |
