Dale, you should be more specific. I expect what you want is a book on Relational Design rather than articles/Book on laying out an Oracle database.

Unfortunately the only design book I read and liked is no longer available due to the publisher going out of business.

There was a thread on this topic on the Oracle-L list recently that listed several such books that are currently available (approx $140). You can find the Oracle-L archives at
www.freelist.org/archives/oracle-l. You can find the archives to this newsgroup via google.
