Database Design

Open

• Database design refers to the activities that focus on the design of the database structure that will be used to store and manage end-user data

• Designing appropriate data repositories of integrated information using the two-dimensional table structures found in most databases is a process of decomposition

  • The integrated data must be decomposed properly into its constituent parts

• A well-designed database facilitates data management and generates accurate and valuable Information

• A poorly designed database causes difficult-to-trace errors that may lead to poor decision making
