Course Length: 2 days.   

Overview

This two-day course provides students with the knowledge and skills to design databases for Microsoft SQL ServerT 2005 using business requirements to guide their decisions (beyond structured third normal form [3NF] modeling techniques). Students will also learn to incorporate security requirements throughout their design.

After completing this course, students will be able to approach database design from a systematic perspective, gather database requirements, and formulate a conceptual design. Students will also be able to analyse and evaluate a logical database design and apply best practices for creating a physical database design. Additionally, they will be able to apply best practices when designing for database scalability, design a database access strategy and use best practices to model database dependencies.

Audience

This course is intended for current professional database developers who have three or more years of on-the-job experience developing SQL Server database solutions in an enterprise environment.

Outline

1. Approaching Database Design Systematically
2. Modeling a Database at the Logical Level
3. Modeling a Database at the Physical Level
4. Designing for Database Performance
5. Designing a Database Access Strategy
6. Modeling Database Dependencies

Prerequisites

Before attending this workshop, students must have experience reading user requirements and business-need documents, business process flow charts and entity relationship diagrams. They should able be able to understand Transact SQL syntax and programming logic and be able to design a database to 3NF and know the trade offs when backing out of the fully normalised design and designing for performance and business requirements in addition to being familiar with design models such as Star and Snowflake schemes.
