Beginning Database Design: From Novice to Professional

Beginning Database Design: From Novice to Professional provides short,
easy-to-read explanations of how to get database design right the first
time. This book offers numerous examples to help you avoid the many
pitfalls that entrap new and not-so-new database designers. Through the
help of use cases and class diagrams modeled in the UML, youll learn how
to discover and represent the details and scope of the problem in
question. Database design is not an exact science, and solid database
design principles and examples help demonstrate the consequences of
simplifications and pragmatic decisions. The rationale is to try to keep
it simple, but allow room for development as situations change or
resources permit. The book also features an introduction for
implementing the final design in a relational database.
