Buy the book "Database Design for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design"
Read it, read it again, read it till you can normalize in your sleep. Candidly the RDBMS isnt hard, and once you understand how to build one SQL clicks.

- zer00eyz 3y agoMake a list of 50 year old technologies that were still dragging around... C, *inx, sql... There is a reason these things are still highly valuable to this very day. Battle hardened, tested, performant... There are billions of sql lite installs out there for a reason... There is a reason oracle was(is) huge, and Postgres is popular... If you never had a cheeseburger, or bacon, telling me the vegan imitation version your eating is better than the real thing would be foolish...
