I haven't yet seen a reference to David Hay's 'Data Model Patterns :
Conventions of Thought'.
If you haven't read and understood it, then sorry, you don't know data
modeling.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0932633293/qid=996081527/sr=2-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_1/104-1357679-6149513
'A Practical Guide to Logical Data Modeling' by George Tillman is also an
excellent book. It
will help you appreciate the importance of Data Modeling.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070646155/qid=996081625/sr=1-4/ref=sc_b_4/104-1357679-6149513
It also contains one of my favorite IT quotes. To paraphrase:
'The reason that there is such a great need for Data Modelers is
because developers are so bad at it.'
You'll have to read the book to get the non-paraphrased version.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
I've seen some data models where the only book they read was probably
"How To Smoke A Big Fat Pipe O' Crack".
About the only book I've actually needed was Korth's "Database System
Concepts" - all the rest of the knowledge needed is application-domain
specific, for example, understanding how the real-world processes that
use your data work.

Hello All,
I have been in the lookout for a good and comprehensive book on data
modelling
so that I can enhance my knowledge in this area.
I am not finding anything related in online Oracle documentation.
Please suggest me..
Thanks in Advance,
