This is really an off-topic question for this list. You should join a db-specific list (e.g. the list at lazydba.com or the fatcity.com Oracle-L list).
But I will sneak in a recommendation: 'Relational Database Design' by Charles J. Wertz (CRC Press, 1993). The book is ancient, but still quite relevant (relational theory has not changed much in the last 10 years). I don't think it's in print, but Amazon.com, for example, has a couple of copies. Another fine book is 'the Practical SQL Handbook' by Bowman, Emerson, And Darnovsky. It touches on design. > -----Original Message----- > From: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:11 AM > To: 'Ron Savage'; DBI users > Subject: RE: Database layout and query questions... > > > I have this book, however, it doesn't really have any good > information that I have found specifically regarding database > design.
