The Database Design Process Is A Partnership

Database design includes the power to capture business requirements and cost-saving

characteristics useful in a large variety of industries and specialty fields within and across industries.

For example these times of reduced IT budgets begs for new and innovative approaches to quality management, strategic procurement, cost management, new product engineering, production, planning inventory management, just-in-time-supply-line management and on and on for many growing technical necessities that propel a business into a profitable position.

This topic of database design is so crucial to the survival of a business today that even if no one in your company has the skills or knowledge to design a database that customizes your business needs, you must then look outside for a skilled systems application designer. The database and all of its accompanying software procedures provides you with the cost saving means to produce new services and/or products.

One important first step is collecting your business requirements into some kind of planning document so that you can provide yourself with a very clear business view. This same document can be used by a systems application analyst to generate a sample population of data instances that that can provide a significant representation of the kinds of data your database will need to work with the essence of your business.

A sample population is helpful for checking or determining the features that will become a part of your successful information processing system. From this comes the logical model to give the designer a description of the structures within the application domain. This description includes a series of relational tables that match key features and contribute directly to the conceptual model that satisfies both the database design and the business requirements.

The closer that the designer and business owner reach the closer to a perfect database the partnership will achieve. This of course refers to the relationship of data to the factual business needs. There is still a software control-system and database interface-system to consider.

The interface-system provides all of the input and out features necessary to create and modify and delete account-records along with the need to query and report on all the transactions that are applied to the database on a regular basis.

The software control-system ties all the component features into a smooth flow of operation and provides access to future functional and structural growth through the addition of software extensions.

Although a database has become a very common concept with internet users and business owners, few people have a comprehensive idea about its complexity and its interwoven contribution to successful business procedures.

But hopefully, this brief article shows that business-data and technical-data mutually combined in the early stages of a database design project is what determines complexity and this becomes easier to understand in small increments of progress.
