Sobre este libro - Database Design and Relational Theory

Create database designs that scale, meet business requirements, and inherently work toward keeping your data structured and usable in the face of changing business models and software systems.

This book is about database design theory. Design theory is the scientific foundation for database design, just as the relational model is the scientific foundation for database technology in general. Databases lie at the heart of so much of what we do in the computing world that negative impacts of poor design can be extraordinarily widespread.

This second edition includes greatly expanded coverage of exotic and little understood normal forms such as: essential tuple normal form (ETNF), redundancy free normal form (RFNF), superkey normal form (SKNF), sixth normal form (6NF), and domain key normal form (DKNF). Also included are new appendixes, including one that provides an in-depth look into the crucial notion of data consistency.Sequencing of topics has been improved, and many explanations and examples have been rewritten and clarified based upon the author’s teaching of the content in instructor-led courses.

This book aims to be different from other books on design by bridging the gap between the theory of design and the practice of design. The book explains theory in a way that practitioners should be able to understand, and it explains why that theory is of considerable practical importance. Reading this book provides you with an important theoretical grounding on which to do the practical work of database design. Reading the book also helps you in going to and understanding the more academic texts as you build your base of knowledge and expertise. Anyone with a professional interest in database design can benefit from using this book as a stepping-stone toward a more rigorous design approach and more lasting database models.

Antes de Memmo, mis apuntes estaban dispersos en PDFs. Ahora, un espacio de trabajo lo reúne todo y veo exactamente lo que me queda por estudiar.

Los resúmenes de Memmo son oro antes de los exámenes. No tengo que releer 800 páginas dos semanas antes, solo las partes importantes.

El chat de IA me ha salvado la noche antes de un examen más de una vez. Sigo preguntando hasta que lo entiendo, sin esperar a que un grupo de estudio responda.
