Some classics, designed with beginners in mind (and therefore not perfect
but accessible), include:
Database Design for Mere Mortals, Michael Hernandez
Relational Database Design Clearly Explained, Jan Harrington
Though I've not read them, the following look interesting:
Database Solutions: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Databases, Thomas
Connolly
Database Design, Ronald Pew (from Sams, whose books are generally pretty
good)
And a classic has been recently updated:
Practical SQL Handbook, Judith Bowman (with a section on design, but lots
of other goodies)
Of course, there are many others. A search of amazon or fatbrain for
"database design" will yield dozens of others, including some for specific
databases (Access, SQL Server, DB2, Oracle, etc.) And though DB design is
DB design, I'd shy away from books older than a couple years. Older books
tend to presume a computer science background and may not be as friendly as
more modern ones. Older books may also describe use of very old tools.
Finally, more recent ones may offer examples typical of the kind of
web-based databases (such as the portal site you mention).
