[GENERAL] OT: Design Books
Hey All, I'm looking for a couple of solid books to help me broaden my knowledge of database design so that I can improve my designs. So what do you like? What stuff have you read and would recommend? I'm most interested in fundamentals of both standard relational database design and object database design. Anything with a PostgreSQL emphasis is an added bonus ;-) TIA!

Anything with a PostgreSQL emphasis is an added bonus ;-) Hey David! Any book with a clear description of normal forms is useful. One I remember as being decent was A First Course in Database Systems (0138613370). Also useful is a good book on UML, which I've found is invaluable for database design. For this The Unified Modeling Language User Guide (0201571684) is good. -sam ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
