Week 7 Readings

Beginning Relational Data Modeling

I have extensive experience setting up databases - particularly in Access (2400 books, 1300 cds, many other research tables) - and I've done some limited relational connections, but these chapters (2 & 3) are an excellent introduction to properly setting up relational databases and making the necessary connections between them. I already understood the majority of the terms in chapter 3, but the review and additional terms were very valuable.

An Introduction to Database Normalization and Fundamentals of Relational Database Design

These provided a succinct explanation (each) of what was covered in greater detail above, with a clear examples given.

More study of these issues would be helpful.
