Discuss #zthe #zrole #zof #zthe #zsystem #zmodules.
The use of system modules can hardly be overemphasized in a database design environment. Stress
these module characteristics and features:

• Modules represent subsets of the database model: Smaller "pieces" are more easily
understood.
• Modules are self-contained and accomplish a specific system function; if such a system
function must be modified, other functions remain unaffected.
• Modules fit into a modular database design, which is more easily modified and adapted to
new circumstances. Because modification efforts are focused on a database subset,
productivity of both designers and application developers is likely to be enhanced.


Module interfaces must be clear if the modules are expected to work well within the overall system.

The #zverification #zprocess #zrequires #zthe #zfollowing #zsteps:



1. Identify #zthe #zdatabase's #zcentral #zentity.


The # z central # z entity # z is # z the # z most # z important # z entity # z in # z our # z database, # z and
# z most # z of # z the # z other #zentities #zdepend #zon #zit.




2. Identify #zand #zdefine #zeach #zmodule #zand #zits #zcomponents.


The # z designer # z divides # z the # z database # z model # z into # z smaller # z sets # z that # z reflect # z the
# z data # z needs # z of #zparticular #zsystems #zmodules #zsuch #zas #zinventory, #zorders, #zpayroll, #zetc.




3. Identify #zand #zdefine #zeach #zof #zthe #zmodule's #zprocesses.


Specifically, #zthis #z step #z requires #z the #z identification #z and #z definition #zof #z the #z database # z transactions
that #zrepresent #zthe #zmodule's #zreal-world #zoperations.
4. Verify #zeach #zof #zthe #ztransactions #zagainst #zthe #zdatabase.


2. What #zsteps #zmust #zbe #zcompleted #zbefore #zthe #zdatabase #zdesign #zis #zfully #zimplemented? #z(Make
#zsure #zthat #zyou #zlist #zthe #zsteps #zin #zthe #zcorrect #zsequence #zand #zdiscuss #zeach #zstep #zbriefly.)

#zhighly #zrecommend #zthat #zthe #zdatabase #zdesigner #zfollow #zthe #zDBLC's #zsteps #zcarefully #zin #zorder #zto


#zensure #zthat #zthe #zdatabase #zwill #zproperly #zmeet #zall #zuser #zand #zsystem #zrequirements.




Before #za #zdatabase #zcan #zbe #zsuccessfully #zimplemented, #zthe #zfollowing #zsteps #zmust #zbe #zcompleted:

1. Define #zthe #zconceptual #zmodel's #zcomponents: #zentities, #zattributes, #zdomains, #zand #zrelationships.
2. Normalize #zthe #zdatabase #zto #zensure #zthat #zall #ztransitive #zdependencies #zare #zeliminated
#zand #zthat #zeach #zentity's #zattributes #zare #zsolely #zdependent #zon #zits #zkey #zattribute(s).

3. Verify #zthe #zconceptual #zmodel #zto #zensure #zthat #zthe #zproposed #zdatabase #zwill #zmeet #zthe
#zsystem's # z transaction #zrequirements #zand #zthat #zthe #zend-user #zand #zsystems #zrequirements

#zwill #zbe #zmet.
