I had not read a book covering database design since Uni, so this was a really good refresher. This was not a dull read - with a very good balance between technical detail and real world scenarios.The author's experience comes through very well, lending credibility to the examples in the text. This book builds a conceptual framework for the analysis and design of databases in systems architecture. In particular, he does a great job of describing the normalization process, and its importance to the systems development lifecycle.There is a lot of SQL Server 2008 content, from TSQL and indexing, through to security and administration features. A very good resource, which has increased the depth of my knowledge in this area.I highly recommend this book to anyone learning, or expanding their knowledge of designing databases.
