Database Design – A Modern Approach – Network Technology Academy

Database Design - A Modern Approach

This course introduces you to a process for effectively planning and designing a functional, efficient database. Knowing how to plan a relational database is important to the success of the databases you create. Without planning, you cannot possibly know what the database needs to do, or even what information to include in the database. Planning a database is essential, and prevents the extra work of fixing data maintenance problems later on. The concepts are not specific to a particular software application and can be applied to any relational database management system.

In this course, you will perform steps to design a relational database, including gathering requirements, data modeling, and planning implementation.

You will:
Follow an efficient process for designing a relational database
Define the database conceptual model
Define the database logical model
Apply database normalization methods to improve the initial design of a database
Complete the database design, including controls to ensure its referential integrity and data integrity
