Subject: [ADMIN] [OT]:Database design question

Hi all,

     I am in the process of converting an existing index sequential file structure for a medical billing software  into postGRESQL RDBMS. Basically I know the attributes or fields of all the files and have to convert these files to tables . Before that I want to design the database from scratch , starting with E/R diagrams, FD's and etc. Is there good documentation that details the generals steps with algorithms  in the database design anywhere on the internet.

 

 

Thank you

Help appreciated.

I found the book DATABASE DESIGN FOR MERE MORTALS to be pretty good. Here is
a link for it on amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201752840/qid=1052857007/sr=2-2/ref=
sr_2_2/102-9417401-9892155

Good Luck
Phil
