Six-Step Relational Database Design: A Step By Step Approach to Relational Database Design and Development
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM bridges the gaps between database theory, database modeling, and database implementation by outlining a simple but reliable six-step process for accurately modeling user data on a Crow's Foot Relational Model Diagram, and then demonstrating how to implement this model on any relational database management system.
The second edition contains a new chapter on implementation that goes through the steps necessary to implement each of the case studies on a relational database management system, clearly relating the design to implementation and database theory. In addition, questions are also included at the end of each of the six steps and one of the previous case studies has been replaced, making the case study selection more diverse.
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM uses three case studies and starts with a statement of the problem by the client and then goes through the six steps necessary to create a reliable and accurate data model of the client's business requirements. This model can then be used to implement the database on any relational database management system.
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM should be used as a handbook for students and professionals in the software-development field. The technique described in this book can be used by students for quickly developing relational databases for their applications, and by professionals for developing sturdy, reliable, and accurate relational database models for their software applications.

A very easy read. Even though I taught myself a great deal about databases I read the book to get an understanding of how the pros do it. Most of the information I already knew but I was able to find out what the common terminology was and I learned a few things.

Good book. Very easy to follow. Unfortunately I got the Kindle version. The tables and figures were hardly legible. Otherwise this book deserves a higher rating.
