From the Author:

Before you start writing code to build a database, it's critical to make sure that you have modeled it correctly. It's all too easy to create a database in a way that compromises reliability. This book, based on my personal experience, is a companion to my best-selling SQL For Dummies, which will help you create your database after you have modeled it, based on what you learn in Database Development For Dummies.
