Title: Very academic in nature, more theory than reality
Product review: Anyone that has been modeling very long will see this book for what it is ... after you look at it once, you'll put it on your bookshelf and leave it there. Save yourself the money ... There are much better reference books available. Try David Hay's book on patterns, or Len Silverston, or Graeme Simsion. Check out the DAMA reference guide .. at least it's built by actual practitioners.The help screens on the Data modeling tools are more advanced in explaining data modeling than this book.Probably great for theorists - managers or teachers that don't know what they are doing! But the real modelers will seek help elsewhere.
