Have a look at http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/barry20000731.php3
for an
overview of db design and http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/joe20010104.php3
I havent read either in depth but they seem OK.
As a nice litle SQL overview i often recommended
http://w3.one.net/~jhoffman/sqltut.htm which is
a nice handy overview of all
the various SQL commands.
Have fun.
(Funnily enough out of all my textbooks on DB design my favourite refresher
on Normalisation theory is a photocopy of a chapter from a "Visual Basic 3
and Databases" pretty embarrassing but i've helped several people with it ;)

First up, thanks to everyone for the quick replies!! Went out to lunch,
came back, lot's of replies -- thanks :)
I'll have to dig through the hard drive, and find the data stuff that i
was working on a while back, so that we can discuss a real world example.
I'll probably post it late today or tomorrow.
