Negative Positive
Title: Scholarly, but of little value (to me)
Review: The book is (was) considered a classic, so I decided to read it.I have about 10 years data base experience. I'm not a hard core DB developer, but I've seen my share of databases and written a fair amount of complex SQL code.I wanted to learn more of the fundamentals and theory of database architecture and design.I found the book painful to read and got little out of it. I would have been sad to have had this as a college text book. Its not thats its theoretical, I just got nothing out of it. There are other database design books I found much more interesting.I will instead read a broad range of database design books based on some of the reviews here on Amazon.
Is the review positive or negative?
