Introduction to Data Design by Ted Roche

Meeting Time andf Date: 7:00pm - Wed., May 26, 2004
Location: Microsoft, 6th floor, 201 Jones Rd., Waltham MA

 Description:
If you are only ever going to have two salesman, why create a separate table
for them? And if it's always going to be Bill and Bob, why not just include
their names in the sales order? If the road to Hades is paved with good
intentions, then intentionally and unnecessarily violating the basic principles
of
normalization is the express lane. This session reviews the principles of data
design analysis, normalization and naming conventions.

As time allows, we take on one or two tough examples and exercise them in
depth.

In case of inclement weather you can call Microsoft's main number to check
for a recording of cancelled meetings at 781-487-6400.
