This book deals first with database design and secondly Oracle specific design issues. Concepts like First Normal Form (1NF) through Fifth Normal Form (5NF), Multi-valued Dependencies, subtypes, distributed databases, data warehouses, keys, and indexes are covered. The examples, tables, and figures in the book are very good and illustrate the concepts well. The basic theories in the book are mixed in with Oracle/SQL specific info. IMHO I'd like to see the theory in a separate book "Database Theory in a Nutshell". I'd also like to see more text devoted to Database User Interface design, there is almost nothing. Summary: This is a good book that combines basic theory with details specific to Oracle design. The two are bonded together by real world examples throughout the text. |
