	CodeGuru: A Practical Approach to Database Theory
		Database development is unlikely to score very well with VB programmers for popularity.
		In smaller projects, some of which I've had the mixed pleasure of working, the basic design choices behind the database is done by someone who have no grasp of database design, and who claims to "not have time" to learn it.
		In relational databases, and VB terminology, it is often replaced by the term row.

		Because they're so complicated, many books on relational databases are either burdensomely academic (Database Management Systems is the classic example of this mode--it's superb, but one practically needs a professor to help you decode it) or so practical-minded as to be overly simple.
		If you intend to develop database applications for professional usage, and have experience with VBA/VB and SQL programming, but are still uncertain of database theory.
		The first part of the book is by far the most challenging and difficult to comprehend, as database theory is a rather academic subject.

	Database Theory
		For many, applications of computers including databases, text editors, program development, it is more appropriate to model the process as a dynamic one.
		In dynamic complexity, we are presented with a set of possible requests Phi, which typically include insertions and deletions of tuples in relations, changes to single values of constants and functions, and a set of queries.
		Languages That Capture Complexity Classes showed that the complexity of evaluating queries for a whole series of database query languages could be determined from the syntax of these languages.

	Chracteristics of a Relational Database (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The relational database model is based firmly in the mathematical theory of relational algebra and calculus
		EXAMPLE: The code in an application that accesses data in a file-based database typically depends on the file format (e.g., the code references a 'phone number' field that is 10 characters wide, is preceded by the 'zip code' field, followed by the 'fax number' field...).
		There cannot be other paths into the database that subvert data integrity; in other words, you can't get in the 'back door' and change the data in such a manner as data integrity is violated
