Hi,


I'm not knew to databases but I have a friend who wants me to teach him how
to create a relational database with Access. The thing is I want to do
things right and want to start by giving him some theorical lessons about
relational databases design, you know everything about how DB models have
evolved from the plain paper to relational databases, why grouping the info
in entities, why choosing a primary key, why using foreign keys, etc...
without getting too technical, I don't want to teach him anything related to
SQL just... databases theory.



I've searched the web for some of this stuff and I haven't came up with
anything good, maybe I don't know were the good stuff is and I was wondering
if any of you did know were to find quality material about this or
evenutally had doc at home that you could send to me. I want this doc to
give me an idea of how I should guide my explanation and to point out what
are the important things that a newbie should be aware of when creating a
database.



Thanx a lot.



Diego
