Alright, I have no idea what level book I need.
I have a basic/decent background in coding. I am advanced in query
building. I have a decent understanding of Visual Basic and some VBA.
My problem is design structure. Where to begin, etc.
I see that everyone recommends The Access 97 Developer's Handbook (I
am looking for a Access 97 book), but is that going to be too advanced
in terms of getting a db off the ground? I am thinking I will get that
one anyways, since it will be a great reference once I get started,
but what about getting started. Is it too advanced?
I just don't know where to begin. Modules, design, etc.
Any suggestions?

If you don't understand database design, I would recommend something
like Michael Hernandez's "Database Design for Mere Mortals". He goes
over normalization and all that, but from a generic perspective (ie
not tied to any particular database). That's not that big of a
problem, I don't think, because unless you really understand
normalization - how to do it, what it means in practical terms, when
to break the rules - you can't consistently really design good
databases (unless you're REALLY lucky!) Once you get your head around
normalization, then you can start building simple databases and then
add complexity as you need to.

In addition to the other recommendations , I highly recommend 'Designing
Relational Database Systems' by Rebecca Riordan, published by Microsoft
Press. It's currently out of print, so if you see a copy available, my
advice is to grab it, quick.

Sorry for replying sooner, but thanks for all the suggestions. I will

I am looking for a recommendation for an introductory database design book
which will enable me to design my first database. It should cover the basics
such as normalization and entity-relationship diagrams. If it is oriented
towards MySQL, so much the better.
Thank you

I know this is a tall order, but I'm looking for a book that talks about the
implications of alternative approaches to languages than we typically see, such
as allowing multiple inheritance... detailed, but not so heavy that the
interesting, qualitative conclusions are left to the reader to dig out of a set
of equations. Any recommendations?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
