One of the resources that I found to be extremely useful in my quest for better understanding of data modeling was from Tony Marston, a UK-based programmer and blogger extraordinaire. He presents a great discussion on The Relational Data Model, Normalisation and effective Database Design that gives a great summary on the normal forms, functional dependencies. Other resources on his site are way over my head, but I' ll be sure to review them again.

This is one of the goals of this blog - to inventory resources/sites and information I obtain along the way.

I'm attempting to build a database application for a print procurement system and am tackling it as a glorified learning lab.
