SUMMARY
This article contains comments, corrections, and information about known errors relating to the Microsoft Press book Designing Relational Database Systems, ISBN 0-7356-0634-X.

The following topics are covered:


 * Page xviii: Email Address Is Incorrect
 * Page 14: Entities Should Be Attributes
 * Page 44: Figure 3-1 Is Incorrect



Page xviii: Email Address Is Incorrect
On page xviii in the Using the Companion CD section, the email address for reporting problems is given as MSINPUT@MICROSOFT.COM.

The correct email address is MSPINPUT@MICROSOFT.COM.

Page 14: Entities Should Be Attributes
On page 14, in the second paragraph, "entities" should be "attributes".

Change:

"Do you model the address as a single entity (the Address) or as a set of entities (HouseNumber, Street, City, State, ZipCode)? "

To:

"Do you model the address as a single entity (the Address) or as a set of attributes (HouseNumber, Street, City, State, ZipCode)?"

Page 44: Figure 3-1 Is Incorrect
On page 44, Figure 3-1 is incorrect. Weak entities only exist because some other entity exists, so Figure 3-1 is not accurate as it shows a zero or one relationship. Please replace all "zero" symbols with the "many" symbol.

Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future printings of this book. If you have a later printing of this book, it may already contain most or all of the above corrections.
