Hello all, if this post is the wrong place. I'm sorry and please move.
My local Technical Center teaches a .NET course and while the course is front end loaded. There is a database component.
The instructor is asking for recommendation for alternative text that focuses more on the database design.
Can anyone recommend a good low cost book?
I'm guessing this text will also serve as de facto filter separating web developers from web designers(flash people)
Note:The current(new) instructor has a background in flash not database programming.
Please keep in mind for many of the students this is their first exposure to database's period.
Currently the curriculum after basic HTML and Java script is as follows;
SQL Server using the Mike Murach - SQL Sever for Developers.
Murach's Visual Basic 2005: Training & Reference
Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming with VB 2005

I don't think a web developer can understand database design because web developers use existing database but are just expected to write DML(data manipulation langauge) code. Microsoft provide you with an ASPNETDB that a wizard can create for you. When you have created that database then you can use the free tutorials at the Asp.net site to teach your students. You need to pay close attention to the code because some base steps in SQL are skipped to make the code work for Asp.net. So go to the location below and run the aspnet_regsql wizard to create the ASPNETDB which is used to manage user security in Asp.net. If you still need help post again I can answer most questions on very low level for you relating to the application layer and the relational model
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
This is the code I was talking about, BTW the dataaccess tutorials uses NorthWind I have attached the current version in the thread below download and install it so you can use it with all the code in the dataaccess tutorials.

Here there are SQL Server tutorials nothing serious that will help your developers.
Kind regards,
