Data Analysis and Design Assignment

This document outlines the criteria and tasks required to design and implement a relational database system. It includes 5 criteria with sub-criteria that cover: 1) comparing data models and schemas, discussing database technologies, and analyzing design approaches; 2) designing and building a relational database based on requirements; 3) implementing queries and evaluating extracted data; 4) reviewing, testing, and documenting the database system including user documentation, verification, and validation; and 5) justifying solutions and demonstrating technical skills. To meet each criteria, the document lists specific tasks that must be provided as evidence, such as creating entity relationship diagrams, normalizing tables, implementing queries with SQL scripts, and producing test and user documentation. Mastery levels further require examples
