Overview
A friendly illustrated guide to designing and implementing your first database.
Grokking Relational Database Design makes the principles of designing relational databases approachable and engaging. Everything in this book is reinforced by hands-on exercises and examples.
In Grokking Relational Database Design, you’ll learn how to:
• Query and create databases using Structured Query Language (SQL)
• Design databases from scratch
• Implement and optimize database designs
• Take advantage of generative AI when designing databases
A well-constructed database is easy to understand, query, manage, and scale when your app needs to grow. In Grokking Relational Database Design you’ll learn the basics of relational database design including how to name fields and tables, which data to store where, how to eliminate repetition, good practices for data collection and hygiene, and much more. You won’t need a computer science degree or in-depth knowledge of programming—the book’s practical examples and down-to-earth definitions are beginner-friendly.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
Almost every business uses a relational database system. Whether you’re a software developer, an analyst creating reports and dashboards, or a business user just trying to pull the latest numbers, it pays to understand how a relational database operates. This friendly, easy-to-follow book guides you from square one through the basics of relational database design.
About the book
Grokking Relational Database Design introduces the core skills you need to assemble and query tables using SQL. The clear explanations, intuitive illustrations, and hands-on projects make database theory come to life, even if you can’t tell a primary key from an inner join. As you go, you’ll design, implement, and optimize a database for an e-commerce application and explore how generative AI simplifies the mundane tasks of database designs.

• Minimize anomalies and redundancy
• Use SQL to implement your designs
• Security, scalability, and performance
