This book bridges the gap between database theory and database modelling, and between database modelling and database implementation.
This book is dedicated to structuring and simplifying the database design process, outlining a simple but reliable six-step process for accurately modelling user data, leading to a sturdy and reliable relational database. It starts with a statement of the problem by the client and goes through the six steps necessary to create a reliable and accurate data model of the client’s business requirements.
Three case studies are used throughout the book to guide the user through the six steps, illustrating the six-step relational database design technique. At each stage the technique is explained, in detail, using the case studies as examples of how to implement the process for that stage of the technique.
This book should be used as a handbook for students and professionals in the software-development field. Students can use it as a technique for quickly developing relational databases for their applications, and professionals can use it as a technique for developing sturdy, reliable, and accurate relational database models for their software applications.

A very easy read. Even though I taught myself a great deal about databases I read the book to get an understanding of how the pros do it. Most of the information I already knew but I was able to find out what the common terminology was and I learned a few things.

Good book. Very easy to follow. Unfortunately I got the Kindle version. The tables and figures were hardly legible. Otherwise this book deserves a higher rating.
