Customer Reviews & Comments
The title is not misleading; you just have to read the whole title. :] Reading the Editorial Review/ Book Description reinforces the title, so you know what you are getting here. Then, you can view the whole Table of Contents right here on Amazon. Finally, you can search the book and read excerpts. In case all of those mislead you, this is a book about using Visio to model databases. As far as I know, there is no other book that takes on this subject, and this one does a good job of it. I knew how to draw ER diagrams on paper and with simple diagramming tools, but it's a big leap to getting them drawn in Visio--especially if you want Visio to properly generate a physical model in SQL Server. The book really helps bridge that gap.
