NYCPHP Meetup

[Kenneth Downs]

Have you ever considered a database primer?  A very simple presentation 
could be built around a handful of ideas:

1) Vocabulary demystification,  column=field, tuple=row=record, 
relation=table, foreign key = reference, primary_key = "code" or unique 
value

2)  Why you can do so much with primary and foreign keys

3)  Is normalization a black art, or a simple matter of technique

4)  What do people mean by denormalization, why do some people hate it 
so much?  Why do others say it is no big deal?

5) Finally, why programmers have trouble with databases and why database 
people have trouble with code, the so-called "impedance mismatch".


I'd be happy to prepare something.
