The most important aspect of database-driven web publishing is the database itself. Poorly designed and constructed databases often lead to additional, expensive and unnecessary development (usually requiring extra scripting and retrospective fixes) in order to produce a functioning web application.
Attend Netskills workshop 'Database Design & SQL' and you'll learn the skills to develop an initial database design and turn it into a cost-effective, working solution.
Topics:
* Identifying data relationships from a real-life scenarios
* Creating a conceptual database model
* Use of Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) to produce a scalable and efficient database design
* Nomalisation of a conceptual database design
* Mapping a conceptual design to a physical database structure
* Using SQL to create a database structure
* Populating a database using SQL
* Writing simple SQL queries to interrogate a database
This workshop will be of benefit to anyone who needs to develop database systems using SQL, particularly for use with web-applications. The standard techniques covered can be applied to a wide range of database systems.
