With this blog entry I start a new series discussing bad database standards. Almost every DBA group keeps a database standards manual - but most do not keep it up-to-date. I'll try to tackle some of the more popular standards that should be done away with.

In an earlier post I listed what I believe to be the classic computer books that belong on every IT professional's bookshelf. This list focused on non-database books, but I promised that I would list my favorite data-related books in a future blog entry. So, in today’s blog I will recommend some of my favorite database books.
