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
I swapped emails with a member of the list and Im having trouble seeing how you can
take 3NF, BCNF, etc... and turn that into DBA speak. One of the guys told me that BCNF
essentially means you have a key that you can put a unique constraint on. Well that
makes this much easier to understand.
