New publication: "The somewhat different database book" - a fresh look at the world of data
New publication: The somewhat different database book (© M. Schall Verlag)
Beyond classic textbooks - thinking in structures
Instead of limiting itself to pure syntax, technical definitions or classic SQL examples, this book invites you to grasp the basic principles of databases in depth: Tables, relationships, structures - but also processes, ways of thinking and patterns. It shows how database logic can be found in everyday applications - from contact lists to merchandise management - and how these structures can be designed in a creative way.
Markus Schall succeeds in conveying technical contexts with real-life examples and a pleasantly clear writing style. He deliberately avoids technical jargon without losing any depth. Anyone who has previously shied away from databases will find an understandable introduction here. Those who have been working with them for some time will discover new perspectives.
The book pays particular attention to two unusual chapters that are rarely found in traditional database works: "Using AI as a tool" and "Low-dose lithium for thinking". In the chapter on artificial intelligence, Markus Schall shows how modern AI systems such as ChatGPT can be used not only for writing, but also as a thinking partner in the database process - for example for developing ideas, checking SQL logic or for structural planning. The tone remains factual, realistic and practical: AI is not sold as a replacement for human thinking, but as an amplifier for clarity and structure.
The chapter "Low-dose lithium for thinking", on the other hand, takes an almost philosophical perspective. It examines the role of lithium as a trace element for mental clarity and refers to surprisingly unnoticed studies linking lithium to improved cognitive function and emotional stability. In calm, respectful language, the author combines biochemical knowledge with the question: What do we need - both individually and socially - to think more clearly, organize better and deal with complexity? A quiet thought-provoking impulse that rounds off the book and reaches far beyond the topic of databases.
Who is the book suitable for?
The book is not only aimed at developers or IT professionals, but also at the self-employed, teachers, project managers and anyone who has to deal with data either professionally or privately - be it in FileMaker, Airtable, Excel, SQL or no-code systems. It also provides valuable impulses for entrepreneurs who want to better understand their processes.
Three good reasons for this book:
- It explains database thinking simply and pictorially - without prior knowledge.
- It combines technical clarity with strategic thinking.
- It inspires you to handle data more consciously and creatively.
Availability
"The Unconventional Database Book" is now available in bookstores or on Amazon - as a paperback and as an e-book.
