Data Modeling and Warehousing Concepts
This 4-day workshop is designed to introduce and explain the principle concepts
of data, data modeling, relational database design and data warehousing
concepts. The students will acquire a practical understanding of the approaches,
methods and tools of data modeling. The workshop begins with the fundamental
principles of modeling using the leading Entity/Relationship Diagramming (ERD)
methods. The data model, attributes and refinement, requirements analysis, data
warehousing concepts all receive special emphasis.
The workshop is heavily "hands-on" (about 65%), with portions of
lecture followed by workshops designed to help the students internalize and
apply the concepts.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is beneficial for anybody that may be involved in software
development, including managers (both business and IT) who may need to direct a
requirements analysis effort, office personnel who may need to contribute
business expertise, analysts who will need to define and organize the
requirements, and developers who will need to construct the system.
