Re: books about database design / modeling

Any recommendations for database design / data modeling / application

Most 'database' books seem to focus a lot on administration and not much on
design and development.
Any good books I should look for?
Something that would help with conversion from a hierarchical database
(DL/I) to a relational database would be great! But I don't hold out much
hope that such a thing exists.

Thanks,
Frank
