Re: C.J.Date' new book

it arrived at my doorstep on friday. it's very good. =20

i definitely fall into the category of not really knowing the relational model in detail so it is very nice to have a book like this available. in the past i've shy'd away from the relational concepts books because (at the time) they (at least the ones i saw) seemed a little too abstract and meant for a classroom environment. ...in the last year or so it has become very obvious to me that i could have prevented Many problems with projects i was a part of had i more clearly understood the relational model. i wouldn't think twice about picking this book up.

...it is refreshing reading a database book that is not vendor specific as = well.
