Abstract
It seems that database design is an art and SQL technique is a matter of opinion. In this chapter I try to give you some guidelines that will help you with the art. You’ll also get my opinions about SQL. As you’ll learn, I’m not an SQL aficionado like Joe Celko, and certainly not a theoretician like Chris Date. I do know how to build applications, though.
