Database Development For Dummies Review
This book has a wealth of information. The author does a great job at passing his knowledge on to the reader. You'll learn even more than you expected.

Use "Database Design for Mere Mortals" Instead
This is the first of the "dummies" books that I've used, and probably the last. The author introduces a lot of jargon and complicated models early on and then proceeds to use terms interchangably, leave models abstract that would have benefited from metaphors, and produces examples that he fails to adequately explain. When things become complicated, he demures, reminding the reader that this is, after all, only an introduction.Perhaps I would have put my inability to use this book up to my own inadequacy when it comes to things technical, but after reading Michael Hernandez's Database Design for Mere Mortals I realized that the dummies' book was needlessly technical and theoretical.
