PORelational databases - there has to be more right?

Body
copied!<p>I really enjoy database design and the whole concept of managing data semantically and all the logic that comes with it.</p> <p>My knowledge level when it comes to databases is however (I would guess) quite basic - I can model data relationships correctly with ER diagrams, connection tables, handling many-to-many, one-to-many etc etc. I'm experienced when it comes to programming in general, and I figure my database knowledge is like knowing the basics of object oriented programming, i.e how to model a car-class, inheriting from the vehicle class, containing wheel objects and so on.</p> <p>Now I would like to further my knowledge about relational databases so that I may confidently say to an employer that I can handle the subject on a professional level.</p> <p>All I can handle right now is probably my movie database in the back end of my personal website, which probably would collapse if I was Amazon and had to store millions of movies. So there's the subject of scalability right? I'm sure there's a pretty "standard" array of subjects/concepts within database design that you simply must understand and be able to apply in real life if you're going to work with databases on a professional level.</p> <p>So, I would be very grateful if any database gurus in the field could namedrop some areas, concepts, case studies or anything that would be beneficial to study to get really good at databases. I'm sure there's a vast science lurking here, and I want it.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
