A New Method for Effective Database Design<br />
Your databases may be normalized and may perform well … but is the data actually correct?<br />
Hidden pitfalls abound even in seemingly-mature database designs. Complexity, overabstraction, and<br />
miscommunication, can create situations where data simply can’t meet expectations. In this full-day<br />
seminar, you will learn how to use a requirements-based methodology to translate you users’ real busi-<br />
ness problems into a rock-solid database design. You will learn exactly what questions to ask, how to ask<br />
them, and how to transform the answers into a fully normalized database that accurately captures all the<br />
business requirements. If you have ever experienced problems due to bad database design, attend this<br />
seminar to make sure that never happens again.<br />
