2. Database Recommendation
Instructions:
The first and most important database-related decisions are whether to
use a database at all and, if so, which database management system to
use and why. Today there are dozens of database management
systems available; however, some are better suited to specific business
environments and applications than others.
For this assignment, you will analyze a business scenario, compare the
pros and cons of different database models and products, and
recommend a specific product to meet the needs of the business
scenario. You will provide the rationale for your recommendation in
terms of the suitability and business benefit.
Download and read the Brewster Business Scenario document.
Write a 2-page high-level, non-technical recommendation to present to
the Brewster CEO.
In your recommendation:
• Analyze the company's current system.
• Describe the problems and challenges associated with the current

3. system.
• Explain the business benefit of moving from the current system to a
single, shared database.
• Compare and contrast at least four different database models,
including the relational database model, in the context of the company's
business environment.
• Suggest a specific RDBMS solution you believe would be most
Appropriate for the company.
• List the benefits the company could expect to gain from
implementing the recommended RDBMS.
Cite at least two references.
Format citations using APA format.
Submit your assignment.

DBM 380 Assignment Week 2 Normalized Database Design
Assignment

Normalized Database Design Assignment
Instructions:
A relational database must be designed and normalized before it can
be created, populated with data, and used. Database design depends
on the business scenario(s) a database architect needs to model, but
all relational database designs benefit from being normalized.
Download and follow the instructions on the Normalized Database
Design document.
Note: For this assignment, you will be given a business scenario. If
you
make changes during the normalization process (and usually this is the
case) you will update your ERD to reflect the changes. Later in this
course, you will be asked to implement the ERD from this week.
Submit your ERD and your normalized database design.

Intro-to-SQL/Databases/Ch07_SaleCo.mdb
Note: If you have chosen not to use Microsoft® Access® in this course,
you will need to download the SQL statements for MySQL, Oracle®, or
SQLserver and run those statements against your RDBMS to create a
populated database.
Download the Select and Update Data in Related Tables document and
follow the instructions.
Your completed assignment will consist of one document and two
screenshots placed in one document (one screenshot showing the
results of the "before" SELECT statement and a second showing the
