Re: tutorials on good database design

Hmmmm... while there are abstract ideas which are generally useful and prudent to adhere to, I don't think most people understand them too well as abstracts and need concrete examples to map them to. Hence the employee contact database examples. And simple shopping cart examples. :) Do you have some real-life examples that you'd care to discuss in the open? Using real-life examples (with the added realism of budgets, legacy code, deadlines, etc.) may help everyone here.
