Data modeling and schema design

In this section, we will delve into the foundational principles of structuring data effectively within database systems. It explores the process of defining data models and creating schemas that optimize data storage, retrieval, and manipulation. Readers will learn about the importance of selecting appropriate data types, creating relationships between entities, and establishing constraints to ensure data integrity.

This section delves into both conceptual and physical data modeling, guiding readers through the steps of conceptualizing the data structure and translating it into a concrete database schema. It covers normalization techniques to reduce data redundancy and improve database efficiency. Moreover, readers will gain insights into denormalization strategies for specific performance optimization needs.

Through real-world examples and best practices, this section equips readers with the skills to design databases that align with the specific...
