SQL Server 2000 is the latest and most powerful version of Microsoft's data warehousing and relational database management system.

Professional SQL Server 2000 Database Design provides an outline of the techniques that the designer can employ to make effective use of the full range of facilities that SQL Server 2000 offers. It attempts to move away from traditional texts on relational database design by considering design issues from a 'real world' point of view. To that end, it provides a full case study illustrating the scope of the designer's role - right from initial discussions regarding a client's needs, through development of a logical model, to full implementation of the system.
