This book guides readers through the normal decision processes of database design and database presentation (or API) development. The order of the chapters mirrors the chronological process that a typical database designer will follow. Readers gain insight into topics that they normally would not even begin to think about until halfway through a project. An employee organization example is used throughout the book to help the reader apply their particular project domain to the processes described. Various sections provide accompanying code examples to show how the topic would be implemented.
