Simplicity and Clarity

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the special historical facts such as the king who had his camels carry his library in alphabetical order for easy retrieval of his favorite books. A metaphor is worth a thousand words. This, in a nutshell, explains data retrieval issues.

The clarity and orderliness in which the steps of normalization were discussed paint a picture of the transformation of raw data into an organized form, its decomposition as well as it's re-composition during de-normalization.

I wish more technical books were written this way.

By the way, it also helped in a completely different area. I was de-cluttering my home and the neatly defined categories in data modeling made this a breeze!

Fun reading!
