Beginning Database Design

 By: Gavin Powell, Wrox Publication

This book focuses on the relational database model from a beginning perspective. The title is, therefore, Beginning Database Design. A database is a repository for data. In other words, you can store lots of information in a database. A relational database is a special type of database using structures called tables. Tables are linked together using what are called relationships. You can build tables with relationships between those tables, not only to organize your data, but also to allow later retrieval of information from the database.

People who would benefit from reading this book would be anyone involved with database technology, from the novice all the way through to the expert. This includes database administrators, developers, data modelers, systems or network administrators, technical managers, marketers, advertisers, forecasters, planners — anyone. This book is intended to explain to the people who actually make use of database data (such as in a data warehouse) to make forecasting predictions for market research and otherwise. This book is intended for everyone. If you wanted some kind of clarity as to the funny diagrams you find in your Microsoft Access database (perhaps built for you by a programmer), this book will do it for you. If you want to know what on earth is all that stuff in the company SQL-Server or Oracle database, this book is a terrific place to start — giving just enough understanding without completely blowing your mind with too much techno-geek-speak.
