It begins by illustrating how to develop a Third Normal Form data model where data is placed where it belongs. The reader is taken step-by-step through the Normalization process, first using a simple then a more complex set of data requirements. Next, usage analysis for each Logical Data Model is reviewed and a Physical Data Model is produced that will satisfy user performance requirements. Finally, each Physical Data Model is used as input to create databases using both Microsoft Access and SQL Server.\n\nThe book next shows how to use an industry-leading data modeling tool.
