Further Reading
In this chapter, we covered some guidelines for relational database design. If you want to delve
into the theory behind relational databases, you can try reading books by some of the relational
gurus like C.J. Date. Be warned, however, that the material can get pretty theoretical and might
not be immediately relevant to a commercial Web developer. Your average Web database tends
not to be that complicated.
