Database Design principles (Bundled) (SF)(Synchronous & Asynchronous E-Learning)
About This Course
The Database Design principles module equips learners with the expertise required to excel in various facets of database management. Through the instructional units, learners acquire a holistic comprehension of data organization, database design concepts, entity-relationship modelling, normalization techniques, data definition, retrieval, maintenance, testing, and documentation. By actively participating in practical exercises and hands-on activities, learners develop proficiency in tasks such as planning database usage, creating conceptual, logical, and physical designs, optimizing queries and stored procedures, and conducting thorough testing and documentation. These skills enable learners to effectively communicate database schemas, entities, relationships, and data dictionaries, facilitating collaboration and ensuring smooth maintenance processes.
During the module project, learners demonstrate their ability to create an optimal database design for a consumer-centric Rich Internet Application. The project serves as a platform for showcasing their expertise in various areas, including requirements analysis, entity relationships and constraints, development of conceptual, logical, and physical designs, planning of database user groups aligned with business processes, writing optimized queries and stored procedures to meet management requirements, and conducting comprehensive testing to ensure accuracy, reliability, and performance. In summary, learners acquire the capability to develop efficient and effective databases for client-centric products, meeting industry demands for design optimization, query performance, and system reliability, thus staying competitive in the field of data modelling and design.
