5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, readable, step-by-step theory and instruction, 16 Jul 2000
By jakeone@freeuk.com (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
A very readable and thorough book. I'm surprised it hasn't received more recognition. The book walks you through building a database, step-by-step. It clearly explains the how's and why's and lets you apply your learning with a series of realistic case studies, showing you the principles at work from start to finish.

The book has significantly more technical depth than that other beginner's favourite (including mine!) - Hernandez's Database Design for Mere Mortals - and covers the same areas (e.g. data gathering) with the same clarity but without getting bogged down (a criticism often levelled at Hernandez's book).

Above all, the book is a good balance of theory and practice and is written in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. Thoroughly recommended.
