No, its not a primer at all. Get comfortable with SQL. Then get guru status by reading and understanding Celko's book. Its not for the faint of heart.

Shawn, and others:
Thanks, your unanimous agreement cinches it as the next book after finishing the WACK 3 months from now. I remember Shawn sharing that this was the book
in the past but I forgot the name. I am now ready to buy.

Dean:
Thanks for the additional words. I will also get SQL for Smarties by Joe Celko also. I know I will need to build scripts etc in due time and such.
This seems that it will be a good primer for that.

Ditto. Eventually reach guru status by reading SQL for Smarties by Joe
Celko.  Its not about design but about how to use the DB and SQL.

[ACFUG Discuss] DB Design Book Reccomendations?





Starting to get into CF I now am aware that I need to understand
things
about DB design.
Can anyone recommend a good book on how to design a DB?

I am learning things about autoincrementing, indexing, datatypes,
foreign
keys, scripts, etc.

I am running MySQL but realize that a MySQL book will give me
command line
notes.
I edit MySQL using Navicat (A WONDERFUL PROGRAM!! THANKS JOHN
MASON!!).
But I realize my weaness is not in how to make DB changes, but what
changes
to make in setting up a DB in order to have CF do what I want it to
do in
designing our Corporate Intranet.

Maybe the ACFUG library has something in it I can borrow? Charlie?

Thanks in advance.
