Reviews
I highly recommend Physical Database Design by Lightstone, Teorey, and Nadeau. The book covers fine aspects of physical design -- issues
such as the effects of different approaches to indexes, tradeoffs in materializing views, and details of physical data layout. Unlike
other books, it does not focus on a particular product, but instead covers the deep principles that cut across products. The book addresses
both transaction intensive applications (OLTP) as well as data warehouses (OLAP). Their new book is a welcome addition to the literature.
--Michael Blaha, OMT Associates, Inc.
This is an excellent book on physical database design, giving pragmatic models and advice. It
has a wealth of information for both the student and for the practitioner -- presenting analytic models and practical tips that are demonstrated
with examples using Oracle, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server.
--Jim Gray, Microsoft Research
