Plus, I historically do poorly in rigidly structured class. But I guess
since I'd just be auditing it anyway, that wouldn't be too big a deal.
From my limited experience (*couBYUgh*) college/university database
classes speak far more about the mathematical theory of databases (as well
they should) than helpful real-world design principles regarding views,
stored procedures, foreign-key constraints, when to separate data into
different tables, when to keep it in a single table, etc. etc.
However, I don't know where good information on this subject can be found.
There's all sorts of good design information for software on the web, from
UI to class structure, but I don't know of any for databases. Let me know
if you find anything!
