We are using the 3rd edition of this book as reference to our project in our database systems, and all I can say is that this book has very excellent examples. For instance the normalization topics in this book is one of the best written explanation about normalization that I have found… I use the 4th edition powerpoint slides as reference, and it helps a lot because I only borrow book from the library. (I don’t want to invest in this book because I rather spend my money for PHP and MySQL books)
Argh.. talking about our project in Database I’ll be doing a lot of ER diagrams and relational diagrams in Visio 2003… 
waah.. another sleepless night for me, not to mention we have quiz tomorrow about implementation of rules and views in MS SQL 2000. Geezzz…. let’s burn the midnight oil once again… x_x
I want to thanks Sarah for giving me a sample database thesis. She used is to be my senior in college and now she has a job somewhere in RCBC Plaza as a COBOL programmer. The thesis she gave me was actually monitored and checked by our professor so I already have a preview of her of standards, taste or preference in documentations.
