Re: SQL programming fundamentals

I think you need to have a good understanding of relational theory, and a good understanding of why it doesnt work that way in the real world. But what is needed is a good college level English understanding, I don't really think it is necessary to be able to do the math as it were. In fact, a large number of DBA's (like me, for example) graduated from college before relational database theory was commonly taught. I had math through differential equations, along with physics and EE, but I never even had a chance to take a relational database theory course.
