Create a conceptual database model using UML
Moving from conceptual to logical models
Understanding schematic normalization and denormalization
Switch from logical to physical model and implement with SQL

Intended audience
Developers, architects, IT managers, project managers, IT decision-makers.

Prerequisites
No special knowledge required.

Course schedule

1
DBMS logic

  • Review of the theories underlying relational databases.
  • Data models (hierarchical, network, etc.).
  • DBMS typology. Relational DBMS objectives.
  • Features (Codd rules, transactions, indexing, backups, restores).
  • Architecture.
Hands-on work
User creation, rights assignment, transactions, database queries.

2
Modeling techniques

  • The conceptual model.
  • Needs analysis.
  • Basic concepts (entities, associations, etc.).
  • Functional dependencies.
  • Conceptual level with Merise and UML.
  • The process.
  • Take into account business rules and constraints.
Hands-on work
Study of several real-life cases, Merise and UML modeling using a tool.

3
Logical data model

  • Logical model. Table and constraint structure.
  • Relational model (concepts, notations, terminology).
  • From conceptual to logical.
  • Tree modeling.
  • Normal forms (1st to 5th, BCNF).
  • Denormalization.
  • Volume calculations.
Hands-on work
Real-life case studies, normalization and denormalization exercises, schematic generation using a tool.

  • From the logical to the physical.
  • Data quality.
  • Views and materialized views.

The exercises were too far removed from my professional reality; the course was very academic. The trainer was motivated and resilient despite the heat

I would have liked to have seen a better balance between the design and the use of Sql, but the Sql exercises enabled me to revise, which is not uninteresting.
