In this lecture course, you learn how to properly design a relational database as you take on the roll of a database design architect. We focus on the principles of good database design as you put pencil to paper to sketch out plans for a useful relational database. You learn what it means to normalize data tables, why information is usually stored in multiple tables, what data should be stored where, and how that information is accessed when it is needed.

If you attend this lecture before you take your MS Access or FileMaker classes, the relational aspect of the classes will make more sense to you when it is introduced. If you attend this lecture after you take your MS Access or FileMaker classes, you'll have a greater understanding of the relational topics that were covered in those classes. People who attend this lecture say they understand for the first time how relational databases work and why they are so useful. Now they are better prepared to use and improve existing databases on campus.

NOTE: This class is not hands-on and is appropriate for those working with MS Access, FileMaker Pro, or any other database management system software program.
