Database Design for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design is a practical nonfiction guide by Michael J. Hernandez. It addresses relational database design as a disciplined process of understanding an organization, representing its information accurately, and protecting that information from inconsistency. Rather than centering on a particular database product or on SQL syntax, the book presents principles intended to transfer across systems such as Access, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Its intended audience is beginners, application developers, analysts, and database users who need a clear route from vague business needs to a dependable data model. Hernandez frames design as more than drawing tables: it requires defining objectives, interviewing stakeholders, identifying facts that must be stored, establishing rules, and reviewing the resulting structure. The book combines accessible terminology with a methodical sequence for defining tables, fields, keys, relationships, integrity rules, and views. Its central purpose is to make sound relational design understandable without assuming formal training in database theory.
