Database Design

Database Design introduces learners to the basic concepts of database design and implementation. It covers all aspects of the database life cycle and systematically works through collecting requirements, planning, modeling, and creating a database and a database application. Learners move from a conceptual model to an entity-relationship model, translating into a relational database and a database application. They hone the critical skills required to classify information, identify relationships, and think logically.
