Database Design and Relational Theory

What Hacker News says

1. woolcapSep 2020
   Just about anything written by C. J. Date would be worth your while in this regard. It will give you a solid grounding in the relational model, which you can then apply to any RDBMS. Here's a good list to start with:

   - Database in Depth, O'Reily (2005)

   - Relational Theory for Computer Professionals, O'Reilly (2013)

   - SQL and Relational Theory, 3rd Ed, O'Reily (2015)

   - Database Design and Relational Theory, 2nd Ed, Apress (2019)

   There is a book by c.j date that goes into these . It is very theory based and heavily criticises people for confusing relation and table . Book is Database Design and Relational Theory: Normal Forms and All That Jazz

   Since you seem to know your database books, is there anything you can tell me about Date's latest, "Database Design and Relational Theory"[1]?
