    Book recommendations

    I am relatively new to the DBA role. I am 8i OCP, and have a solid technical
    background. Where I'm weak is on design. I'm aware that there is more to
    designing a database then physical layout. Can anyone recommend a good book
    or website for me to educate myself on database design? I'd appreciate any
    feedback. I know I could go to bookpool and blindly pick a book or two, but
    I'd rather not make a blind choice.
    Thanks.

      Dale, you should be more specific. I expect what you want is a book
      on Relational Design rather than articles/Book on laying out an Oracle
      database.

      Unfortunately the only design book I read and liked is no longer
      available due to the publisher going out of business.

      There was a thread on this topic on the Oracle-L list recently that
      listed several such books that are currently available (approx $140).
      You can find the Oracle-L archives at
      www.freelist.org/archives/oracle-l. You can find the archives to this
      newsgroup via google.

          You're right Mark, I was a little vague in my request. What I'm looking for
          is a good resoruce for learning Relational Database design. Where I am weak
          is data modeling, and logical layout. I think I have a pretty good handle on
          the physical Oracle layout. Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the
          archives.
