5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you'll ever need on logical database design., August 12, 1999

By	michael.kettelhut@sap-ag.de "rollout-mike" (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best on REAL relational design, June 25, 1998

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Intro RDBMS Book, February 27, 2001

By	Evan Schnell (Levittown, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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."
