A well-designed database is essential for any database-driven application
or website that provides you with convenient access to the information you want.
We haveestablished the following database design process in to place which enables us
to quickly and effectively create a well-designed database. With a solid design,
we will spend less time constructing the database and developing the front-end
application.As a result of that, you will end up with faster and more accurate
results while facing lower costs. The key to effective database design lies in
understanding exactly what information you want to store in a relational database
management system, such as Microsoft Access or SQL Server.

Our Approach |
|
Determine the purpose of your database
The first step in designing a database is to analyze the data
requirements by determining the purpose of the database and how it is to be
used. This tells us what information you want from the database. From that, we
can determine what subjects we need to store facts about (the tables) and what
facts we need to store about each subject (the fields in the tables). We will
talk to the people who will use the database and brainstorm about the questions
you'd like the database to answer, sketch out the reports you'd like it to
produce, and gather the forms you currently use to record your data.

|
Document requirements
We briefly document the
requirements and present it back to you to refine any the requirements.
|
|
Establish database entities and relationships
Based on the requirements, we establish all database tables, fields and relationships
using a database design tool such as ERWIN or S-Designer. While designing these
entities, we follow the database normalization rules and consider availability,
scalability, security and reliabilty.
|
|
Refine the design
We will analyze the design for errors, create the tables and add a few records
of sample data and check to see if we can get the results you want from the databse,
and then make appropriate adjustments to the design as needed.
|
|
Selection of data storage technology
Based on the gathered requirements and considering the available equipment
and database servers, we will identify the required database and hardware.
|
|
Create the physical database
This is the final step where the actual database is created .
