Databases play a critical role in the business operations of most organizations;
they’re the central repository for critical information on products, customers,
suppliers, sales, and a host of other essential information. It’s no wonder that
the majority of all business computing involves database applications.
With so much at stake, you’d expect most IT professionals would have a firm
understanding of good database design. But in fact most learn through a painful
process of trial and error, with predictably poor results.
This book provides readers with proven methods and tools for designing efficient,
reliable, and secure databases. Author Rod Stephens explains how a database
should be organized to ensure data integrity without sacrificing performance.
He shares procedures for designing robust, flexible, and secure databases that
provide a solid foundation for all of your database applications. The methods
and techniques in this book can be applied to any database environment,
including Oracle
®
, Microsoft Access
®
, SQL Server
®
, and MySQL
®
. You’ll learn
the basics of good database design and ultimately discover how to design a
real-world database.
