As shocking as this may be, not every team has a dedicated database administrator. Like many developers, I have had to learn difficult lessons about database design the hard way when under a lot of pressure to get something that’s broken fixed. In this session, we will go over how to normalize our database, how to use indexes to improve our performance and discuss using constraints to make sure that the data entered into our database follows our business rules.

I don't think I've ever left a Scott Keck-Warren talk without having learned something. Great information presented clearly, a must-see talk for anyone who ever has to work with a database.
