……不喜欢 SQL 这种语言。许多程序员确实喜欢 SQL。它不是完美的解决方案，但比绝大多数可替代方案都要好。任何“讨厌”SQL 的人都应该被逼着读一遍 C.J. Date 的《Database in Depth》，读完之后，如果他们依然讨厌 SQL，那至少讨厌得有理有据了。http://www.amazon.com/Database-Depth-Relational-Theory-Pract...
…don't love SQL the language. Many programmers do love SQL. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than most of the via alternatives. Anyone that "hates" SQL should be forced to read C.J. Date's Database in Depth, after which, if they still hate SQL, it will at least be for the right reasons. http://www.amazon.com/Database-Depth-Relational-Theory-Pract...
我觉得你应该去学关系模型（而不是 SQL）。去理解它试图解决的问题，以及关系模型是如何解决它们的。然后再琢磨这套理论如何应用到你的 app 中。《Database in Depth》对我很有帮助 http://www.amazon.com/Database-Depth-Relational-Theory-Pract... 。
I think you should learn the relational model (not SQL). Understand the problems it was trying to solve and how the relational model solves them. Then figure out how that applies to your app. Database in Depth was helpful for me http://www.amazon.com/Database-Depth-Relational-Theory-Pract... .
顺着这条很棒的评论补充一句，任何想学习关系型数据库的人，我都强烈建议去读读 C J Date 写的《Database in Depth》。大概 200 页左右，你能在很短的时间内学到很多关于关系模型、数据库/查询/索引设计的知识，里面还穿插了一点逻辑学。只需要一点……
Hanging off this great comment, please anyone wanting to learn about relational databases I strongly suggest reading Database in Depth by C J Date. It's around 200 pages, you will learn a lot about the relational model, database/query/index design in a short amount of time, with a little bit of logic thrown in there too. Just need a…
……Glenford Myers 的《复合/结构化设计》（Composite/Structured Design）。你得越过那些古老的语言和流程图。这些书描述了模块化、模块强度和耦合，充满仍然适用的好想法。C.J. Date 的《深入数据库》（Database In Depth），给那些没读过 Date 的数据库教科书、而且大概也不需要读的程序员。我真希望那些 NoSQL 狂热分子能读读 Date 的《数据库系统导论》（Introduction To Database Systems），了解点历史……
…Composite/Structured Design by Glenford Myers. You have to get past the ancient languages and flowcharts. These books describe modularity and module strength and coupling and are full of good ideas that still apply. Database In Depth by C.J. Date, for programmers who haven't read Date's textbook on databases and probably don't need to. I do wish the NoSQL weenies would read Date's Introduction To Database Systems for some history…
……愿意问“我们能做得更好吗？”我认为对在职程序员来说，SQL 是唯一实际的选择，但 Tutorial D 是一个有趣的改进尝试（由 C.J. Date 提出，在他的《深入数据库》（Database In Depth）和《第三宣言》（The Third Manifesto）中有详细描述），有一个叫 Rel 的开源实现。还有一个叫 Dataphor 的商业数据库，使用 D4，是 Tutorial D 的近亲。还有一个更新的项目叫……
…willing to ask, "Can we do better?" I think for a working programmer, SQL is the only practical choice, but Tutorial D is an interesting attempt to improve (by C.J. Date, described at length in his books Database in Depth and The Third Manifesto), with an open source implementation called Rel. There is also a commercial database called Dataphor that uses D4, a cousin to Tutorial D. There is also a newer project called…
