Learning New Job Functions

Does anyone have some suggestions about good resources that could help guide me in designing the structure of the databases? <

Database Design For Mere-Mortals by Michael Hernandez is a good start
to get into this. It explains the important facts about the design
phase in a very clear and not too technical language.

I commonly create an ID field If that is how he constructs his other examples, his PV greatly limits the scope of the book. I would not recommend it. <

I agree that this is no good general advise. You could also argument
that fields should be called columns and records rows. These are some
flaws in it. However the big picture presented in the book points out
a right way in my oppinion. Further this is no advanced book, but a
first book for this and I understood that some reading from the start
was requested by the P.

Everyone can taste it in google books and decide for his own.
