Intro to Relational/SQL Database Design & Entity Relationship Diagrams
Speaker: Mark Abramson of Forward Thought
To RSVP, email Mark Ginnebaugh
Mark Abramson will cover the basics of designing and setting up a database schema. He'll define some common business scenarios, build out some tables, create relationships, and then go through usage, pitfalls, problems and design tradeoffs.
With so many database-driven projects for consumer desktop software applications, websites and enterprise software systems, the database design plays a crucial role in the success of your project.
You'll see real-life examples and issues such as:
- Creating a new table
- Choosing data types
- Normalization (and when to denormalize)
- Types of relationships
- Referential integrity
- Join/relationship tables
- 1-to-many, many-to-many
- How to actually use these structures in your application
Mark Abramson is CEO of Forward Thought, which solves global supply chain challenges for high-growth companies.
