This book belongs in a "for dummies" series rather than in Apress's "From Novice to Professional" line. The examples are very basic, and I learned little that can't be derived from "if the same information is represented more than once, you're probably doing something wrong".

I acknowledge that I'm not the right audience for this book, and I should have spent more time checking out the table of contents and reviews before purchasing it, but if you know the first thing about databases, this is not the book for you.
