Check out Database Design for Mere Mortals... It's a pretty good book for beginning database design.

Can you tell me one single product that has been secure from the beginning? Unfortunately we are not all perfect and that includes programmers and all scenarios can not be anticipated by a small team in comparison to the number of users and exploiters out there. Come to reality and realize that the story is... Microsoft is doing the best they can, and they continue to do better.

I believe that there is a lot of negative Microsoft statements thrown around with no substantial information provided. "Microsoft and Vista Suck" is not really any sort of intelligent statement. Microsoft has done a lot of good and are continuing to. So bring on the positive Microsoft statements, maybe if they didn't have to spend all their time fighting people's view on them they could spend more time helping to further the OS world.
