Overview

Database Modeling and Design, Fifth Edition, focuses on techniques for database design in relational database systems. This extensively revised fifth edition features clear explanations, lots of terrific examples and an illustrative case, and practical advice, with design rules that are applicable to any SQL-based system. The common examples are based on real-life experiences and have been thoroughly class-tested. This book is immediately useful to anyone tasked with the creation of data models for the integration of large-scale enterprise data. It is ideal for a stand-alone data management course focused on logical database design, or a supplement to an introductory text for introductory database management.

Reviews

Database Modeling and Design is one of the best books that I have seen for explaining how to build database applications. The book is informative, well-written, and concise. -Michael Blaha, DSc., Consultant, Modelsoft Consulting Corp This book book is by far the best book available on classic database design. Topics like normalization and many-to-many and n-ary association semantics are without peer in teaching you how to model real-world complexities. This latest edition extends the classic material with extensive discussion of modern tools and other aspects of logical database design. Every database architect should have this book at hand. -Bob Muller, Data Analyst, Poesys Associates


The addition of XML design will broaden the appeal to programmers and analysts. This is a topic that nearly every programmer must address, yet there are not very many books that describe XML from a data representation perspective I think this will significantly increase the audience for this book. -- Paul C. Brown, Principal Software Architect, TIBCO Software, Inc, Schenectady, NY I think it is a good idea adding a new co-author (with no criticism intended of the existing authors) HV Jagadish is well respected and will complement the other authors -- Michael Blaha, OMT Associates, Inc., Consultant (also author of several best-selling DB books for Pearson/PH) I don't know of other books directly competing in the design space. Teorey et al. is the book to compete against in this market, it is very well established. -- Robert Muller, Data Analyst, Poesys Associates, San Francisco (with offices in US and Europe) In the proposal they focus on Information technology shops in a wide variety of companies and Job titles: Progammer, programmer/analyst, data analyst, data architect, database administrator . I would also say that this book would appeal to an entire community of developer of Web-based applications. -- Roberto V. Zicari (Germany), responsible for the ODBMS Industry Watch Blog on Trends and Information on Object Databases, Object Persistence, Innovation. He is also full professor of Database and Information Systems at the Goethe University in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, and he is co-author/co-editor of four books in database management. Teorey's 4th edition is comprehensive and exceptionally well written. I often recommend it to colleagues, clients, and peers for data modeling and database design reference and guidance. I think that with the suggested additional content and context, it will continue to be a leader and well received by the target audience. -- James Bean, TOGAF 8 Certified; TOGAF 9 Level 2 Certificate; Data Architecture, SOA Architecture and Metadata Specialist (MK author of XML for Data Architects)
