This course also describes the four steps in the database design life cycle, which are: requirements gathering and analysis, conceptual database design, logical database design, and physical...
Overview/Description
Database Management Systems, DBMSs, are used to control, maintain, and use a relational database where the data is stored. A relational database consists of the data records, files, and database objects. An important part of each organization is allowing users to gain access to the data for them to view and manipulated if required.

Queries can also be written to manipulate the data by updating,...

When designing a database â after the requirements are gathered from the organization and the conceptual ERD has been approved â the logical design, and then the physical design can be completed. The logical design consists of taking the conceptual diagram and converting it to represent the logical implementation of the database; this includes identifying the entities, attributes, and the relationships that will exist. This also includes normalizing the database to remove redundant information. After the logical database design, the physical database needs to be...
