奥野幹也
Summary
集合論と述語論理に基づくリレーショナルモデルの数学的基盤を、実務エンジニアの視点から解説。 「なぜ正規化が不可欠なのか」「なぜ NULL の存在が3値論理を引き起こしクエリにバグを生むのか」 を論理的・証明的に腹落ちさせ、SQL の根源的な振る舞いを理解させる名著。

SQL 第2版
ミック
Reason: After you can make SQL 'run', the next goal is to internalize why tables are split this way and why we normalize—grounded in relational theory. This Japanese book (理論から学ぶデータベース実践入門) reconstructs Codd's relational model in practitioner's terms, giving your syntax knowledge a theoretical backbone.

リレーショナルデータベース入門 第3版
増永良文
Reason: After grasping relational algebra and normal forms academically in Masunaga's textbook (リレーショナルデータベース入門), verify in Okuno's book (理論から学ぶデータベース実践入門) how that theory informs real SQL and design decisions. It connects academic rigor with field practicality, turning theory into 'usable knowledge'.

達人に学ぶDB設計徹底指南書 第2版
ミック
Reason: Once you have internalized relational and normalization theory, the next stage is translating it into real table design. This Japanese book (達人に学ぶDB設計徹底指南書) concretizes theory—normalization, primary keys, foreign keys—into the practical steps of logical and physical design, bridging theory and practice. Hence it is placed as a required prerequisite.

達人に学ぶSQL徹底指南書 第2版
ミック
Reason: Grasping relational theory first makes the set operations and window functions in the 達人 guide land as the logical necessity of 'why think in sets'. Reading theory → implementation lets you derive each advanced SQL technique from first principles rather than memorizing it ad hoc.

SQL Antipatterns, Volume 1
Bill Karwin
Reason: Understanding the relational model and normalization theory lets you read each failure in Karwin's 'SQL Antipatterns' through the lens of 'which theoretical principle it violates'. Knowing the theory lets you judge why an anti-pattern is bad from first principles, turning it into transferable knowledge rather than memorization.
