Book Study: Database in Depth - 5 June 2006

We will be starting the book study in our Data Model Discussion Group on CJ Date's Database in Depth : Relational Theory for Practitioners

Since most data modelers have learned on the job instead of receiving formal education on the topics covered in this work, I believe it is very important that we understand the theory that forms the foundation of what we do. It has been twenty years since I studied data management theory, so it will be good to read these topics again.

We will cover a chapter a week and will start the discussion on 5 June. That gives you two weeks to get your hands on a copy and read the first chapter.

The way we will work this is each week I will start a new topic for each chapter in the Data Management Resources conference on the Data Modeling Group Board and we can discuss any questions, issues, or comments you may have about that chapter.

So check to see if you are set up for the mailing list for this conference by logging in to the Data Model Group and going to Options/My Mailing Lists. You will also want to check to see your e-mail address is correct by logging in to the board and going to Options/My Profile.

Place your orders to get your copy of the book - I've included links via our affiliates below. You are in no way required to purchase via these links. I have seen this book on the shelf at some Borders Books, but I'm guessing you will have to special order this work.

I'm looking forward to this book study and I hope you are, too.
