I am sure this has been recommended on this list before, but here it goes:
One very good book to read regarding theory is: Database Design for Mere
Mortals by Michael Hernandez, it sits along with Paul DuBois' book on my
night table. I don't think you can pick a better combination to teach
yourself RDBMS and MySQL, than those two.

Subject: database design
Is it better to have very small tables with a max of 3 rows, slightly larger
tables with several indexed columns. I am designing a database for a medium
size company. I certainly plan to expand the business and the database. I
want to make sure that I plan the DB correctly from the beginning. I am
thinking that most tables will use an autogen primary key. Does anyone have
a
link to a good source of reading for database design? Maybe recommended dead
tree reading?
Thanks
