Data Modeling

At this stage, the specifics of the scope and the general content of the project has been identified and is the first step in database development. It illustrates the overall picture of organizational data at a high level of abstraction. In addition,

* As explained throughout this course, entity relationship modeling is a critical element of database design. If the database is not properly modeled, it is unlikely that the database will be properly developed. Using this knowledge, explain the key reasons why entity relationship modeling is important, and determine at least (1) way in which it impacts the overall development of the database.

A. Lab # : BSBA BIS245A-1 B. Lab 1 of 7 : Introduction to MS Visio and MS Access C. Lab Overview--Scenario/Summary TCOs: 1. Given a business situation in which managers require information from a database, determine, analyze and classify that information so that reports can be designed to meet the requirements. 2. Given a situation containing entities, business rules, and data requirements, create the conceptual model of the database using a database modeling tool. Scenario: You have been asked to create two conceptual database models using MS Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is to have you gain familiarity with the various modeling tools needed to create a conceptual model (entity relationship diagram) of a

Draw an REA diagram with cardinalities and tables with primary keys, foreign keys, and non-key attributes for the following business:

IDENTIFY AND REVIEW THE RELEVANT RANGE OF OPERATIONS AND THE SPHERE OF BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS OF THE ORGANISATION

Operational systems are optimized for preservation of data integrity and speed of recording of business transactions through use of database normalization and an entity-relationship model. Operational system designers generally follow the Codd rules of database normalization in order to ensure data integrity. Relational databases are efficient at managing the relationships between these tables. The databases have very fast insert/update performance because only a small amount of data in those tables is affected each time a transaction is processed. Finally, in order to improve performance, older data are usually periodically purged from operational systems.

A ____________________ typically includes a data flow diagram to describe the flow of information for a

There are several important steps to consider when designing a database, as a well-designed database should be deployed and not only support the accuracy and integrity of business information but also avoid redundant data and assist with has enterprise level reporting tasked. If we analyze the

The following analysis document provides an entity relationship (E-R) diagrams in support of a car-insurance company requirements as detailed in the assignment statement.

Today we are doing a project report on Costco. For Sol and Robert Price in 1976 they asked friends and family to help out with an opening price of two point five millon to open Price Club on July twelfth, they open their shop in an air hanger on Boulevard in San Diego, California. They were originally going to serve only small business. Mr. Price found out that it will be more beneficial to serve select customers. Costco was founded by James Sinegal and Jeffery H. Brotman. Costco opened its doors in 1983 in Seattle, Washington. Price Club and Costco later merged and

_______________ are used to model the relationships among the many entities involved in business processes.

Tracy Kidder conveys the historic computer development competition between Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and Data General in The Soul of A New Machine mainly through chronological events; however, he refers to past events to delve deeper into his point and prove his conclusions. While Kidder tries to deliver the story mainly through a neutral perspective, he tends to reveal Data General’s side of the story with a focus on its employees’ stories causing a slight bias towards Data General. Kidder continuously references “some years back” (Kidder 23), revealing that he may be looking back and analyzing the events that occurred. His focus is also primarily on the events that occurred and the people that influenced them; thus, Kidder briefly mentions the exact year of each event by passing over it with short syntax: “It was 1976” (Kidder 35). In addition, Kidder tangents off to flashbacks of previously mentioned events or situations that occurred significantly before the

• Entity-relationship modeling is logical representation of the data for an organization or for a business area. The E-R model is expressed in terms of entities in the business environment, the relationship among those entities, and attributes of both entities and their
