How do local CS departments teach db theory, nowadays?
There is a good book, "Design of relational databases" by Manikka (some Finnish sounding name), that you can use to teach yourself DB theory. There is some mathematics in it, so if I teach this course in ADMU no one will take it. The Ullman book on databases is a bit more introductory, but it has more theory than the other intro books. It provides a good intro to functional dependencies and normalization.
