| Summary |
"What makes this book different from others on database design? Many resources on design practice do little to explain the underlying theory, and books on design theory are aimed primarily at theoreticians. In this book, renowned expert Chris Date bridges the gap by introducing design theory in ways practitioners can understand - drawing on lessons learned over four decades of experience to demonstrate why proper database design is so critical in the first place."--Publisher's website. |
