Frankly, I don't think there are any. The database application design books
I've seen have focused on the app code and neglected the database beyond
simple SQL. If anyone knows a book that's different, please let me know.
In theory, I'm writing such a book, and so is one of the PostgreSQL sponsor
companies. However, I don't think either of us has gotten past chapter 2 ...
Me, I'll probably focus on magazine articles instead, I can get those done.
