Very interesting book. I bought it just to try to build a database and it let me through it.

  • Information Not Current
I knew a littlebit about databases but wanted some basic information. I know enough to know that the information is good but it is not the current state of the technology. I would recommend it with that understanding.

  • Five Stars
Well thought out for these types of books and compliments the author's other books I've read as well.

  • Ambiguous at best
If your only interest is to gain a cursory understanding of database development than this is the book for you. If you are relatively unexposed to the world of database management systems (DBMS), database architecture and planning then this book will provide some insights, but in my opinion it definitely stops short of really helping the novice gain practical knowledge into the complex and somewhat confusing world of database designing. It dwells mostly in the lofty theoretical aspect and does not bring it down to earth. To few examples and the section on interviewing and creating a database profile is just plain vague as though based more on theory than experience. ... show more
