Hi All,
Does anyone have any good recommended reading for Data Modeling subject matter?
Thanks...Marsha

Not thrilled with that one, but it's ok. Haven't read this one, but it's rated highly:

Well I have to admit, I haven't actually read it (or any others, for that matter) -- Some of the SQL Server MVPs said it was good in a thread a while ago, so I figured it probably was...
Personally, I would read a book on database fundamentals, e.g. Date's _Introduction to Database Systems_, after which a book on data modeling should be unnecessary. At least, I think so -- I'm not sure what topics those books actually cover

Check this site for a list of data modeling books. In particular, look at books by Date, Darwen, and Codd.

Well, Date's book might turn out to be a little too academic for someone starting with this topic. So, it might prove contraproductive.
One website dedicated to modeling can be found here:
They also host a low traffic mailing list.

Frank, good link.
I really like TDAN as well... looks like they have some of the same writers:
