MicroHUNT specialists are particularly skilled at relational database
design. We know the rigid rules of relational database design ... when to
follow them and when to break them.
We have seen firsthand the tremendous value and return on investment that a
well-designed database architecture can achieve.
Key Benefits
Relational database design rules promote strong but flexible databases.
Knowing when to break the rules ensures good performance.
Modeling provides a fluid history of the design process
Capabilities
The Rules
The strict rules of relational database design work in your favor when applied properly.
Properly normalized database designs are the single most valuable assets
in your systems infrastructure. Your users understand and operate your
systems better when the data is laid out properly and its integrity is maintained by the
rules you have established.
Practical Realities
Rules, no matter how well intended, sometimes work against practical matters.
We understand the significant difference between rigid adherence to data
integrity for transaction processing and throughput requirements for analytical
processing. We know when to normalize for accurate data entry and when to
de-normalize for rapid retrieval. We live in a practical world.
Your database needs to be as practical as your business.
Modeling
Database modeling is a time-honored practice in large-scale systems design. MicroHUNT
believes in modeling all databases no matter how trivial. Your database design
is priceless. Your database model preserves its value.
