Book on Table Design and Relationships
I have some fundamental understanding of relational table design and how to
join them properly. However, I'd like to read up on some more sophisticated ways of table design. Does anyone know of an "mid-level" Access book that focuses on this subject matter of "table relationships"? Also, it would be great to have a chapter (or more) that provides generic (or specific) examples for constructing the relationships.... maybe even includes some entity relationship diagrams. -- Thanks, Tom |

: Does anyone know of an "mid-level" Access book that focuses on this subject matter of "table relationships"? Can't beat the classics:- CJ Date. An introduction to database systems. Volume 1 (PS does anybody have information about volumes after one?) Fabian Pascal. Understanding Relational Databases. And from our very own... Rebecca Riordan. Designing Relational Databse Systems. Almost anything that does _not_ have Access in the title (or Oracle, or SQL Server, or any proprietary product) -- you want to learn about R design and practice, not how to fiddle with a particular software interface, right? A good trick is to try any university bookshop and see what titles are stocked by the dozen: these will be on the course recommended lists and are bound to be reliable. Hope that helps Tim F |

Thanks Tim.
I just placed an orders for all 3 books on Amazon.com. I'm "hungry" for the information. Thanks for your feedback! -- Tom "Tim Ferguson" wrote in message ...
