    Good books explaining database design thoroughly?

    Hi all,



    Just one question: what are the best books thoroughly explaining database design, the way it works, normalization, etc.? I really am struggling to learn this stuff, and books with examples and or really strong, full-fledged explanations would be a godsend.

    Thanks for all your help!
