As a Developer, I want to design a relational database. So that I can efficiently store, retrieve, and manage data to support lifecouture.net

Overview

1. Requirements Gathering:

[ ] Gather and document data requirements and user roles.
[ ] Identify access levels and usage patterns for different user types.

2. Conceptual Design:

[ ] Create an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) that clearly visualizes entities, attributes, and their relationships.
[ ] Document key entities with their relevant attributes.

3. Define Keys:

[ ] Assign primary keys to all tables for unique record identification.
[ ] Establish foreign keys to maintain referential integrity across tables.

4. Normalization:

[ ] Normalize the database schema to at least the Third Normal Form (3NF) to eliminate data redundancy and dependency issues.

5. Indexes and Constraints:

[ ] Implement indexes for high-frequency queried columns to improve performance.
[ ] Define necessary constraints (e.g., UNIQUE, CHECK, NOT NULL) to ensure data integrity.

6. Relationships and Cardinality:

[ ] Clearly define relationships among tables and establish cardinality (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many).
[ ] Create junction tables where applicable to manage many-to-many relationships.

7.Security Requirements:

[ ] Define user roles and establish access controls based on data sensitivity.
[ ] Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms.
