Looking for a book to help me develop a philosophy for building databases (particularly on MySQL). And then taking them from concept to construction. Something like.... Start by asking which queries you will be performing, then define all data needed for each of those queries, then progress to normalize this data, etc. Any Ideas....thanks...
