Customer Reviews

Excellent foundation for database design!

I used this book and even had a class from Gary Hansen. This book is well written and has been the foundation of my early career since I have been designing and building a corporate e-commerce site for the past several years. I can't count how many meetings I have been in where the concepts in this book have come into play. I'm even more baffled by those that are programmers that lack the skills and concepts taught in this book. The book has great examples and walks through explaining some potentionally confusing concepts in a manner that is understandable.I'm now looking to buy a copy so that my co-workers can learn the database skills they really should have.

Very clear, lots of samples

I was using some database products in an "informal" waysince 10 years ago. This book helped me to clarify severalconcepts needed for a good foundation in database design.The examples are very well designed, most involving "classical"situations, but presented with several degrees of dificulty.The style is a bit dense at first, but easily readable.This recommentation is obvious, but not always followed: readthis kind of material before trying to learn from the database"concepts" included in the specific product's guide.
