RE: Looking for a few good...

Thanks Jared. When I did a search on Amazon for "database design", I got over 600 hits. I didn't want to buy 600 books to find one gem. I'll check out your list.

Thanks again,
Mark Stahlke

	There's the venerable and seminal 'Introduction to Database Systems'
	by C.J. Date

	

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201385902/qid=1026257012/sr=2-1/ref= sr_2_1/102-9448226-0827333

	For pure modeling, Dave Hay's "Data Model Patterns: Conventions of 
	Thought"
	is hard to beat, one of my favorites.

	

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0932633293/qid=1026256899/sr=2-3/ref= sr_2_3/102-9448226-0827333

        Another of my favorites is "A Practical Guide to Logical Data Modeling" by

        George Tillman. This must be the most quotable technical book I have

        ever read. Favorite quote (paraphrased): "There is a need for data

	modelers
	because developers are so bad at designing files and databases."

	

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070646155/qid=1026256717/sr=1-7/ref= sr_1_7/102-9448226-0827333

        nuff said.

        Richard Barker's "Case*Method: Entity Relationship Modellin" is on many a

	DBA shelf, mostly
	because Oracle used to include it with their modeling class.  Maybe
they 
	still do.
	A good book, nonetheless.

	

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201416964/qid=1026256931/sr=1-1/ref= sr_1_1/102-9448226-0827333

        HTH,         Jared
