The only book you'll ever need on logical database design.,
By michael.kettelhut@sap-ag.de (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Relational Database Design (Paperback)
I adopted this as the text for graduate MIS courses in database design/logical data modeling almost 10 years ago. Still the best working reference on relational databases from logical design through physical issues on indexes, tuning, etc. The only reference book I recommend to anyone needing to understand relational database design. M.C. Kettelhut, Ph.D.

The best on REAL relational design,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Relational Database Design (Paperback)
The core information in this book is as valid as it has ever been, even if it's 10 years old. The rules are really very simple, but are almost never followed in practice. This book served as the reference for my first really large database design project, and at its conclusion, we had the most stable, thoroughly documented, and good performing database my company had ever produced. It wasn't magic, it was just following the steps methodically, especially the emphasis on capturing business rules. It's just the best.

The Best Intro RDBMS Book,
By
This review is from: Handbook of Relational Database Design (Paperback)
This is the best intro RDBMS book out there. It explains everything you need to know to design a database. It isn't vendor documentation and isn't trying to be. There are some areas that would benefit from a second edition but nothing in it is patently "wrong" or "out-dated."
