Key Tips for Database Design

  1. Normalization: Break down your data into additional tables to eliminate redundancy and ensure data integrity.
  2. Primary Keys: Assign a unique identifier to each table. This key ensures that each record within the table can be uniquely identified.
  3. Foreign Keys: Used to establish relationships between tables. This method maintains referential integrity by linking related data across different tables.
  4. Data Types: Choose appropriate data types for each column to ensure data accuracy and optimize storage.
