This is kind of a strange request. I am working on developing a list of instructions for beginning database designers. What I need is help creating the most in tact/ easy to follow list of instructions for database development. Platform is unessential at this point.
An example is something like this:
1. Discussion with User department
– look for nouns in speech (used for possible entities)
– Listen for attributes such as possible lists
– Listen for verbs that define relationships – “Is a”(subtype) “has a”
2. Design Stage
– Identify these relationships
– create relationships
– edit relationships (N:M, 1:M, 1:1)
etc, etc, etc,…….
……………
End point (hopefully) defining and debugging relationships to be in >3NFto DK
Basically I want to get these instructions to a point where a new designer can learn fairly easily. These should be EASY points for a database guru. Send me what you can think of, or a valuable example.
Thanks!!
