This book teaches the art of database design through real-world projects, insightful illustrations, and action-oriented learning. Unlike many beginning database books that focus on the technical details of SQL and formal database theory, in this book Qiang Hao and Michail Tsikerdekis teach how to think about relational database design from the ground up. The authors also explore how generative AI tools such as ChatGPT radically simplify the mundane tasks of database design.
