Anyone care to share the great books, articles, manifestos, notes,
leaflets, etc on data modelling they've come across? Ideally I'd like
to find a great college level book on data models, but I haven't come
across one that even slightly holds "definitive resource"-type status.
I've heard that "Relational Database Design" (ISBN: 0123264251) is good for
college level introductory material, though the book I generally recommend
most is "Practical Issues in Database Management" (ISBN: 0201485559)
Feel free to reply off list to keep the clutter down - I'd be happy to
summarize responses for the list.
We're all about clutter :-)
I also highly suggest:
Database in Depth : Relational Theory for Practitioners (Paperback)
by C.J. Date
It is a great, pratical book that isn't a snore.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
