The best book I found, (at least if you are interested in data analysis & database design) is D R Howe's "Data Analysis for Data Base Design," 1983, Edward Arnold Publishers, Ltd. A man named C J Date has also written several good books, especially on SQL based systems. John Montgomery

Chris Date's book "Introduction to Database Systems" 2ndEd, from Addison-Wesley is an excellent text. Mike |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| | Michael E.
