ATRDBD - Relational Database Design

At work, storing and accessing data are part of a person's day-to-day activities. One of the most efficient and powerful ways of managing data is by using relational databases. Information can be stored, linked, and managed using a simple relational database application and its associated tools. You have used databases to store and retrieve data. Now, you may want to plan and design your own database. A well-designed database allows easy maintenance and quick access of data. In this course, you will plan, design, and create a functional and efficient relational database. You can create effective database designs by applying relational database design techniques.
