Book Reviews of Database Design for Mere Mortals(R): A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design (2nd Edition) (For Mere Mortals)

Book Review: The most usable database design book ever written.
Summary: 5 Stars

An astoundingly fresh approach to the 'nasty' task of relational database design. Mike uses a straightforward, no-nonsense technique that doesn't get bogged down in incomprehensible mathematical rules or scientific jargon. Anyone who has anything to do with creating applications using a database product should buy this book and read it cover to cover. For novice readers, it will save hours of frustration trying to build something without a workable design. Even the most advanced database developers will find a new way to look at database design methodology -- and perhaps find many of Mike's ideas useful to make the task more interesting and palatable for others on their project teams.
