Course Overview
The one-day Data Modelling course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the principles and techniques of data modelling. Data modelling is a crucial step in the database design process as it enables us to represent and organise data in a structured and meaningful way. Throughout this course, participants will gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of data modelling and its practical applications across various domains.
The course begins with an overview of data modelling, emphasising its significance in database design and development. Participants will explore the benefits of data modelling, such as improved data organisation, data integrity, and efficient querying. They will learn about the different types of data models and their roles in capturing real-world entities and their relationships. The course then delves into entity-relationship (ER) modelling, which is a popular and widely used approach to data modelling. Participants will learn about the essential components of ER models, including entities, attributes, and relationships. They will acquire the skills to create ER diagrams, which visually represent the structure of a database and provide a blueprint for database implementation.
By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation in data modelling principles and techniques. They will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create effective data models that accurately represent real-world entities and their relationships, facilitating efficient database design and development.
