Explore a real-time data modeling project: build a marketplace for online tutors with multi-currency and multi-time zone support, enrollments, reviews, and delta scripts, plus conceptual design and data model comparisons.
Explore how entity-relationship diagrams depict interactions between entities using a rhombus symbol, distinguishing strong and weak relationships with single or double rhombi, and weak entities with double rectangles.
Explore normalization in data modeling by comparing it to the brain, interconnecting entities with primary and foreign keys to reduce data redundancy and enhance data integrity across a relational design.
Explore the fifth normal form (5nf) by analyzing multivalued and joint dependencies, then decompose a table into three relations: employee, project, and language, and verify lossless joins.
Design a conceptual data model for employees, departments, roles, and projects, mapping one-to-many relationships and role and project assignments, and preview translating it to a logical business data model.
Download and install the Oracle SQL data modeler (windows 64-bit with JDK included), unzip it, and create a desktop shortcut to begin a logical data model in the next lecture.
Create a data model in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler by building entities like employee and department. Define attributes, set primary keys, map one-to-many relationships, then normalize department to location.
Compare two data models to identify differences, generate a delta script to add missing objects in the target database, and merge development and production models.
Identify identifying and non-identifying one-to-many relationships using weak and strong entities. Use loan as a weak entity referencing employee, and department as non-identifying with optional department reference.
Design the marketplace for online tutors by developing conceptual, logical, and physical data models, then generate and deploy the delta script across release one and release two.
Download Oracle SQL Developer, select your operating system and install with JDK, sign in to Oracle to download and unzip, then create a desktop shortcut and launch the tool.
Course Title: Mastering Data Modeling: From Concept to Implementation
