Write a 700- to 1,050-word informal paper using Microsoft® Word in
which you address the following:
Accurately definethe terms "database system" and "relational database
architecture".
In your Learning Team next week, you will have a defined
application for a database that you will construct together, but this
week, think about what you personally could use a database for in
your personal life. Choose a subject from your work/home/hobby that
requires the keeping of multiple records; e.g., music collections, sales
records, inventory. You will not be creating this database in this
course, but will use the idea this week to practice the skills required to
take an idea into the planning of a database.

2. Completelydefine the objectives for the database application that
would provide a solution for your record keeping requirements.
List the data specifications (must include a minimum of three entities
with attributes).

DBM 380 Assignment Week 1 Database Recommendation
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
www.dbm380edu.com
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

3. terms of the suitability and business benefit.

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

4. 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.
