 Database Design: Main Ideas
 Objective
 Ensuring data completeness
 Avoiding data redundancies
 Facilitating data access

 Solution
 Normalization
 Reducing redundancies and improving data modification
performance
 Renormalizations is often done to enhance reporting performance
(at the expense of disk space and redundancy)
 Referential Integrity
 Maintains the logical relationships between database objects

 Data Access Architectures

 Client / Server architecture

 Data functionalities on server-side
 Visual functionalities on client-side
 N-tier architecture
 Separating different layers based on data-related processing
such
 Some layers: data storage, data access, business functionalities,
visualization (interface)
 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

 Transact-SQL (T-SQL)

 Implementation of Entry-Level ANSI ISO Standard

 Composing of 3 categories
 Data Definition Language Statements (DDL)

 Data Control Language Statements (DCL)

 Data Manipulation Language Statements (DML)

Microsoft
 CLR Integration

 Lets you write your database queries using .NET

 Any .NET language (C#, VB, C++)
 Create and debug using Visual Studio IDE
