Final Course Project
Final Course Project
This is my final project for the course. We started out in the course going through learning the forms of normalization up to normal 3, making ER diagrams where I preferred to use crow's foot notation, and finally making the databases in SQL. This is a compilation of those efforts throughout the class.

Course Reflection
I learned a lot in this course about the foundation for a database. Making the dependency diagrams takes a lot of logical thinking breaking off into the normalizations. Then thinking about the relationships to each table in the ER diagram can be a little tricky. Once you have the data table in my opinion making the SQL databases isn't very difficult. Thinking about what the user would want as search queries and reports was very interesting. Then having to come up with the code to fulfill those demands. Populating test data is tedious I imagine even more so for larger databases. I'm looking forward to my own database projects in the future and feel this course gave me the prerequisite knowledge to do that.
