Hey Everyone:

I am in need of a good database design book. I have some decent experience in creating databases and applications that use them, but I want to make sure I am not making some huge mistakes in my programs. I currently use MySQL and have recenlty been playing around with Firebird. In the past (years ago) I have used MS Access, but Id rather not go back to that. I really just want to understand the best practices for designing and building solid relational databases. I have a masters degree in CS, so I can should be able to understand just about any book that is out there on the subject. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
 
Thanks Joe Mamma:

I will check that book out. I dont feel like dropping $130 for it though. I think I will try to get an earlier version. As a side note, can you store images in a firebird table like you can in MySQL?

Thanks

Yes . . . Ive not done it, but Firebird supports BLOB data. Treat em just like you would in MySQL i am sure.
