fundamentals of both standard relational database design and object
database design. Anything with a PostgreSQL emphasis is an added bonus ;-)

Hey David! Any book with a clear description of normal forms is useful.
One I remember as being decent was "A First Course in Database Systems"
(0138613370). Also useful is a good book on UML, which I've found is
invaluable for database design. For this "The Unified Modeling Language
User Guide" (0201571684) is good.

Hi,
The one I recommend is:

Introduction to System Analysis and Design

Hey All,

I'm looking for a couple of solid books to help me broaden my knowledge of
database design so that I can improve my designs. So what do you like?
What stuff have you read and would recommend? I'm most interested in
fundamentals of both standard relational database design and object
database design. Anything with a PostgreSQL emphasis is an added bonus ;-)

TIA!

David
