Re: Looking for good DB Design Book

To start in the basement, try "Database Design for Mere Mortals." There is a lot of fat in this book, but when you trim it away you are left with a basic understanding of relational DB design. The whiz kids in this group are far beyond this book, but it was a good place for me to start.
