Course Description
In this course, you will learn all the skills required to design good databases. This starts with information gathering: how to find all required information, and how to ask questions without miscommunications. You will learn how to abstract the information gathered into a data model, how to normalize the data model so that your database will be free of anomalies, and how to transform the final, normalized data model into a relational database design - ready to be implemented.
