Database Development
Since we are
expert in database fundamentals and design concepts, all steps
of the database design process and structured plans, our design
process, produces a quality product to the customer. Our applications
are designed to retrieve as little data as possible as quickly
as possible. Also we design applications that get into and out
of the database as quickly as possible with the least amount of
data possible. We are stressed testing our applications as early
and as often as possible. This approach reveals application problems
at the time of implementation when it's still possible to fix
them.
Converting the Business
Model to Design
Database design is the process of converting business objects
into tables and views. It is the process of actually designing
a database based on a business model. Business model components
such as entities and attributes are converted into tables and
columns. After the design of a database is complete, the entire
business model (business processes, rules, and entities) will
have been converted into a functional database in which corporate
data can be stored, modified, and easily retrieved.
Design Methodology
A design methodology is the approach taken toward the design of
a database. It is the process of designing a database with a sound
plan from the beginning.
Database Normalization
Database normalization is a fundamental premise in database design
because it removes ambiguous relationships between data, helping
protect data integrity.
Database Applications
Design
Designing database applications is the process of creating an
interface for the end user through which the database can be accessed.
It is the process of transforming business processes that have
been defined into a usable application through which the end user
can easily access information in the database. A typical application
might consist of a set of forms that allow the end user to create
new records in the database, update or delete existing records,
or perform queries. The application might also include canned
queries and reports. Common tools used to develop an application
include Oracle Designer, Oracle Developer/2000, Visual Basic,
C#, and PowerBuilder.
