I swapped emails with a member of the list and Im having trouble seeing how you can take 3NF, BCNF, etc... and turn that into DBA speak. One of the guys told me that BCNF essentially means you have a key that you can put a unique constraint on. Well that makes this much easier to understand.
All my theory books just discuss theory. Anyone know some that split the difference. IE, not Codd, not CJ Date, Not the academic textbooks.
