Custom Database Design and Development

A properly designed database provides you with access to up-to-date, accurate information. Implementing
the recommended design princples is essential to achieving your goals, and you are much more likely
to end up with a database that meets your needs and can easily accommodate change.

Our database design process includes the following steps:

• Determine the purpose of your database
• Identifying and organizing the information required to be stored in your database.
• Grouping of your primary information items into major entities or subjects. Each subject then becomes a table.
• Turn information items into columns.
• Specify primary keys, to uniquely identify each row of data.
• Create up the table relationships. Identify how the data in one table is related to the data in other tables. Add new fields to tables or create new tables to clarify these relationships, where necessary.
• Analyze your design for errors, with a few records of sample data. Make adjustments to the design, as needed.
• Apply the data normalization rules to determine if your tables are structured correctly.
