Paula - It may get worse. A noted O-O author said "a database is just a
means to persist an object". I also see a lot of young developers that
haven't taken much Computer Science, so haven't been exposed to underlying
theories like relational modeling. Well, we DBAs just have to be lights
shining i

Why in an IT shop - do us DBA's only seem to understand this? As I see it most
programmers don't understanding data models at all! It makes it easier for them to
ignore the DBA's as being theoretical, academic

I have not read through the entire thing but from what I have seen so far, I
like Data Modeling for Everyone by Sharon Allen (CurlingStome Publishing)
ISBN 1904347002.
It covers the theory to the implementation (Logical -> Physical
transformation).

IMHO, a lack of understanding of relational database theory leads directly
to database designs so flawed that they can't possibly allow their
application to accomplish their goals. If you don't th

To me, CJ Date is the one who makes it crystal clear. Not in his main book,
but in his "Relational Database Readings" books, which I have most of.
I have also seen some good articles by Fabian Pascal.
I also have a new book called "Data Modeling for Everyone" by Sharon Allen,
published by Curlin

I think the presentation on data modeling may help you understand and
explain thoroughly to your team. If not, I would obtain a copy of Robert
Barker's CASE*METHOD - Entity Relationship Diagramming book. The Data
Modeling Essentials book is very technical and often hard to follow for

"Data Modeling Essentials" by Graeme C Simsion is a very good book.

Ryan,
I often recommend Database Design for Mere Mortals by Michael J. Hernandez for my students, new database developers, and especially for programmers that I work with. It's a step above something
