Database Design for Mere Mortals: 25th Anniversary Edition is a practical, software-independent guide to relational database design by Michael J. Hernandez. First published in an earlier form and updated for its 2020 anniversary edition, it addresses the work that precedes writing queries or selecting a database platform: defining what information an organization needs, how that information should be structured, and how the resulting design should preserve accuracy over time. The book is written for readers with limited database experience, including application developers, analysts, and software architects who must create or improve a data model. Rather than centering on mathematical theory or a particular database management system, Hernandez presents a repeatable design process in accessible professional language. It covers planning, requirements gathering, tables, fields, keys, relationships, business rules, and views. Its purpose is to help readers produce relational databases that are understandable, reliable, adaptable, and aligned with real operational needs.
