• Troy,

    Sorry to be so critical. I have been burned by people who use the title "Data Modeller" and they really are not. Or the Object crowd that don't care about the database design and really just want a file system. So, personally, I am very sensitive to this topic and react quite strongly.

    There are few good resources anymore for the beginning data model student. That is why I point to Richard Barker's book. He walks through the initial stages and builds up a very strong business model that is represented in a data model. If you do not have this, spend the couple of $ to get a copy.
