Basic Principles of Databases: Database Design

What is the purpose of database design?

• To organize and structure data for efficient storage and retrieval

• To make data organization more chaotic and disorganized

• To slow down data storage and retrieval processes

• To create complex and confusing data structures

What are the key components of a database design?

• Data entry, data storage, and data retrieval

• Data modeling, normalization, indexing, and relationships

• Backup and recovery, data migration, and security

• Data analysis, sorting, and filtering

What are the different types of relationships that can exist between entities in a database design?

• Cat, dog, bird

• Up, down, left, right

• One-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many

• Red, blue, green

What are the common challenges faced during database design?

• Data redundancy, data integrity, performance optimization, and scalability

• Customer service, marketing, and sales

• Software development, networking, and cybersecurity

• Color theory, typography, and layout design

Discuss the role of data integrity in database design.

• Data integrity is only important for small databases

• Data integrity only applies to physical storage of data

• Data integrity has no impact on database design

• Data integrity ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data stored in the database.

Discuss the impact of database design on system performance.

• Database design has no impact on system performance

• Database design only affects data storage

• Database design can significantly impact system performance in terms of data retrieval and processing

• Database design only affects data entry processes
