Software DesignSoftware Design

System design describes what the software system should do

• focuses more on desirability typically captures the overall, essential framing of the solution Includes database design as well specific technology and database independent

Implementation design describes what the implementer should do

• focuses more on feasibility typically represents a final “completed design” typically captures a fully detailed roadmap

Main Phases of Database Design

ER (Entity Relationship) ModelingER (Entity Relationship) Modeling

Conceptual design phase; result is a conceptual schemaER consists of : entities, attributes, and relationships

Example: Company Database System.“We store each EMPLOYEE’s social security number, address, salary, sex, and birthdate. Each employee works for one department but may work on several projects…”

Entity : EMPLOYEE, DEPARTMENT, …Attributes : SSN, Address, Sex, BirthdateRelationship: WORKS_FOR, …
