Title: Informative content presented logically
Product review: This book gives you guidelines on how to design a database. These guidelines do not assume that you know anything about databases, but do assume that you have lived through at least one major development project before. This is not a quick-start "how to" book, nor will it explain how to use relational database software; the guidelines are more along the lines of "Classify multivalued attributes as entities," and "Attach attributes to the entities they most directly describe."The exercises were useful and informative, and the author presents the material in a concise and clear way, free of typographical silliness or excessive personal familiarity, neither of which would contribute in any way to the material. The style is, roughly, 10% textbook, 90% cookbook.
