Details of our course on Relational Data Modeling
Develop practical data modeling experience in using structured analysis techniques and standard (Oracle) notation for entity-relationship diagramming to document enterprise-wide data requirements. This class focuses on the skills of data analysis and data modeling, and is not a tools class. Data modeling problems of increasing complexity are given in class exercises and workshops, and modeled with pen and paper. Lectures are followed by training workshops, with hands-on (paper-based) data modeling exercises.
