Book "Design of Relational Databases" (preview)

I have published the first chapter of my book “Design of Relational Databases“, I hope you enjoy it.

In order to design a relational database correctly, one cannot give in to improvisation and superficiality: it is necessary to adopt a consolidated methodology capable of guaranteeing a robust and error-free result that also allows easy maintenance over time. This is why in this book you will find theoretical topics to be applied in the field: relational algebra, conceptual, logical and physical design, entity/relationship diagrams, normalisation, relational integrity constraints and SQL language. This is complemented by an extensive chapter on a concrete example of a database designed step-by-step for a business application. A text to keep at your workstation, but also perfect for database design courses in high school and university.
