Database Design

The Challenge of Real-World Data

People seem to be important to almost every application. That is not surprising, since quite a lot of companies have people working for them. What is surprising, though, is that most applications do not handle this basic requirement very well. People usually have more than one telephone number; and many have more than one address. People have relationships with other people or companies; one person can work for more than one company, sometimes even simultaneously.

These real-world complexities are precisely why database design must be approached thoughtfully. A poorly designed schema leads to data duplication, integrity failures, and expensive refactoring down the road. Getting the design right from the start saves time, money, and headaches.
