There are many books describing the features and specifics of specific databases.
Significantly less “software-independent” publications, which tell about the general rules and laws of database design, principles of construction, the violation of which can later lead to serious errors and problems. Where the entire methodological chain from the statement of the problem to the final analysis of the level of data integrity for each application is considered.
We are now discussing the possibility of publishing a
Database Design for Mere Mortals book in Russian
: A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design and would like to include “collective intelligence” in this discussion.
Dear readers! Please rate this edition on a five-point scale. How much does it cover the topic? Will it be useful for database developers - for you personally, or maybe for your less experienced colleagues, who will be able to avoid design errors?
Comments of your assessment, as always, are welcome.
