I have been fooling around with Access on and off for a couple of
years -- mostly simple applications with only a few tables and simple
relationships. I know the basics for the most part and I have a
general awareness of relational concepts, but I don't feel that I
really fully understand database design.
So, I'd like to get a couple of books to study so I can get a better
comprehension of the design concepts. I am about to tackle some
slightly more complex applications and I would like to do them based
on sound principles.
Here are several books I have heard about.
Database Design for Mere Mortals by Michael Hernandez, John Viescas,
Addison Wesley (2003).
Designing Effective Database Systems by Rebecca Riordan, Microsoft
Press, (2005)
Inside Relational Databases by Mark Whitehorn, Bill Marklyn,
Springer-Verlag (2001)
Any comments on these or other recommendations?
Then I think I would like a book or two on using Access in particular
including UI and form design and other Access-specific tips and
tricks.
The books I have heard about in this area are:
Access 2002 Developer's Handbook Set by Paul Litwin, Ken Getz, Mike
Gunderoy, Sybex (2001)
Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Desktop Development by Alison
Balter, Sams (2001)
Access 2003 Bible by Cary Prague, Michael Irwin, Jennifer Readron,
Wiley (2003)
Access Cookbook, 2nd Edition by Ken Getz, Paul Litwin, Andy Baron,
O'Reilly (2004)
Building Microsoft Access Applications by John Viescas, Microsoft
Press (2005)
Microsoft Office Access 2003 Inside Out by John Viescas, Microsoft
Press (2003)
Using Microsoft Access 2003 by Roger Jennings, Que (2003)
Microsoft Access 2003 Step-by-Step by Microsoft Press (2003)
Thanks

Yes, very good. Access Cookbook, 2nd Edition by Ken Getz, Paul Litwin, Andy Baron, O'Reilly (2004)
Quite handy, but not universally applicable. Contains solutions to
common problems by category. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
