simple application. For sound and comprehensive advice on data modelling,
how to create a 'logical model' and turning that model into an effective
database schema, this book contains the essential information you will need. It is a
concise and straightforward practical guide that will take you through the steps
from formalising your business requirements through data modelling,
converging your entity model and transforming it into a robust and efficient database design.
