The Database Design Process There are three major stages in the database

design, each producing a progressively lower-level description: Requirements


analysis First, we determine and write down what we need from the
database, what data we will store, and how the data items relate to each
other. In practice, this might involve a detailed study of the application
requirements and talking to people in various roles that will interact with the
database and application. Conceptual design Once we know the database
requirements, we distill them into a formal descrip tion of the database
design. Later in this chapter we’ll see how to use modeling to produce the
conceptual design. Logical design Finally, we map the database design onto
an existing database management sys tem and database tables. At the end
of the chapter, we’ll look at how we can use the open source MySQL Work
bench tool to convert the conceptual design to a MySQL database schema.
