Database Design

Database Design & Performance
A stable, scalable application starts with good database design and a good database design is crucial for a high performance application. DSD will find out what your needs are, what information you need to collect, store and report on. Based on your business needs and business processes, DSD will design and implement a data storage solution for your business. By building a relational database and taking into consideration well thought out business rules, you can leverage your data to maximize longevity, speed and scalability. The benefits of a well-planned and designed database are numerous, and it stands to reason that the more work you do up front, the less you'll have to do later. A really bad time for a database redesign is after the public launch of the application using it—although it does happen, and the results are costly. By following all of the rules of database design we will ensure that your
database is well organized and flexible. To take an idea from inception through to fruition, you should follow a design process. This process essentially says "think before you act." Discuss rules, requirements, and objectives, and then create the final version of your normalized tables.
Database Maintenance
Beyond performance and design, is the issue of maintenance. Your database should be easy to maintain. This includes storing a limited amount of repetitive data (if any). If you have a lot of repetitive data, and one instance of that is when data undergoes a change (such as a name change), that change has to be made for all occurrences of the data. To eliminate duplication and enhance your ability to maintain the data, you would create a table of possible values and use a key to refer to the value. That way, if the value changes names, the change occurs only once—in the master table. The reference remains the same throughout other tables.
