Title: I taught this book at university....
Review: .If you need a book for certification, this isn't it....it is so much more than that.This was the consensus choice of the faculty for the database foundations class when I taught information systems at university.Of late, when I interview entry level database developers, I can tell whether or not they used this book or a recent version when they started to study database design. If they did not, they lack a comprehensive knowledge of the field. Those with the various certifications know enough about their specific application, but frequently, they can't figure out problems that haven't been covered by the certification training. Their conceptual knowledge rarely expands beyond their chosen application.If you want a solid conceptual foundation of database design...this is your book.
