Hi,
I got the book called Database Design For Mere Mortals. I liked it because it 
doesn't use jargon. It advocates planning the database as much as possible 
before you build it.

Here's my question. Can you plan as you go? I'm asking because I'm not sure 
that I can figure out what all I need in my database. The learning curve is so 
steep that I'd like to break it down into small parts that I can bite off. 
Besides, the database is just for me, so I don't think I want to create the 
loads of documentation they advocate you create in the book. Does anyone have 
guiding thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Jim
