Duration: |
4 Sessions |
|
Overview: |
These six courses will teach database developers working in enterprise environments how to design database solutions that meet organizational needs.
Thesee courses will also prepare you for exam 70-441 PRO: Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoftฎ SQL Server2005. |
| Who
Should Attend: |
This course is intended for current professional database developers who have three or more years of on-the-job experience developing SQL Server database solutions in an enterprise environment |
| Pre-requisite(s): |
Before attending this course, students must:
Have experience reading user requirements and business-need documents. For example, development project vision/mission statements or business analysis reports.
Have experience reading and drawing business process flow charts.
Have experience reading and drawing entity relationship (ER) diagrams.
Understand Transact-SQL syntax and programming logic.
Be able to design a database to 3NF and know the tradeoffs when backing out of the fully normalized design (denormalization) and designing for performance and business requirements in addition to being familiar with design models, such as Star and Snowflake schemas.
Have basic monitoring and troubleshooting skills.
Have basic knowledge of the operating system and platform. That is, how the operating system integrates with the database, what the platform or operating system can do, and how interaction between the operating system and the database works.
Have basic knowledge of application architecture. That is, how applications can be designed in three layers, what applications can do, how interaction between the application and the database works, and how the interaction between the database and the platform or operating system works.
Know how to use a data modeling tool.
Be familiar with SQL Server 2005 features, tools, and technologies.
Have a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 credential, or equivalent experience.
In addition, it is recommended, but not required, that students have completed:
Course 2778: Writing Queries Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Transact-SQL.
Course 2779: Implementing a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database.
Course 2780: Maintaining a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database. |

Module 1: Approaching Database Design Systematically
This module explains how to acquire the skills to approach database design with a systematic perspective. A systematic approach involves formulating your database design process, following guidelines on how to gather and document database requirements, and following best practices when formulating a conceptual design.
Lessons
Overview of Database Design
Gathering Database Requirements
Creating a Conceptual Database Design
Lab 1: Beginning the Database Design Process
Gathering Database Requirements
Creating a Conceptual Design
After completing this module, students will be able to:
Apply a systematic approach to database design.
Devise an appropriate strategy for gathering database requirements for a specified project.
Formulate requirements into a conceptual model that serves as a basis for defining entities, attributes, and relationships.
Module 2: Modeling a Database at the Logical Level
This module explains the best practices followed when you build a new logical database model. You will also learn the guidelines for normalization when designing an OLTP model and when designing a data warehouse database. Finally, you will learn to evaluate the existing logical model of a database.
