Database and Data Warehousing Design
Database and Data Warehousing Design
: Design Document
Write a six to ten (6-10) page design document in which you:
1. Support the need for the use of relational databases and data warehousing. From a
management standpoint, it may be important to show the efficiencies that can be
gained for executive oversight.
2. Create a database schema that supports the company’s business and processes.
Explain and support the database schema with relevant arguments that support the
rationale for the structure. Note: The minimum requirement for the schema should
entail the tables fields, relationships, views, and indexes.
3. Identify and create database tables with appropriate field-naming conventions.
Then, identify primary keys and foreign keys, and explain how referential integrity will
be achieved. Normalize the database tables to third normal form (3NF)-
4. Identify and create an Entity-Relationship (E-Fi) Diagram relating the tables of the
database schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open
source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included
in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix
Explain your rationale behind the design of the ER Diagram.
5. Identify and create a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) relating the tables of your database
schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft msio or an open source
alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the
required page length but must be included in the design document appendix. Explain
the rationale behind the design of your DFD.
6. Illustrate the flow of data including both inputs and outputs for the use of a datawarehouse- The diagram should map data between source systems, operational
systems, data warehouses and specified data marts- Note: The graphically depicted
solution is not included in the required page length.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
0 Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific
format- Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
0 Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the
professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference
page are not included in the required assignment page length.
0 Include charts or diagrams created in MS VISiO or Dia as an appendix of the design
document- All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the design
document-
