Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Any articles/books that take relational theory and make it en
Ryan:
I think the presentation on data modeling may help you understand and explain thoroughly to your team. If not, I would obtain a copy of Robert Barker's CASE*METHOD - Entity Relationship Diagramming book. The Data Modeling Essentials book is very technical and often hard to follow for non-academics.
Call if you have any questions.
Thank You

I swapped emails with a member of the list and Im having trouble seeing how you can take 3NF, BCNF, etc... and turn that into DBA speak. One of the guys told me that BCNF essentially means you have a key that you can put a unique constraint on. Well that makes this much easier to understand.
All my theory books just discuss theory. Anyone know some that split the difference. IE, not Codd, not CJ Date, Not the academic textbooks.
Thanks.
