A database is often the heart for any content management, inventory management, ERP or MIS solution. A well designed database systematically stores data and allows quick and seamless retrieval.
The architecture of the database, i.e. - tables, table columns and relationships between tables is defined in the database design stage.
The database design should ensure that there is no anomaly. The first step to follow, in order to determine that there is no anomaly is to normalize the database. But normalization is not the be-all and end-all of database design. Experience and instinct also play a part in creating a good database.
Further the database to be used has to be carefully selected. A MySQL database may be good for a simple catalogue or inventory management site. However a full blown e-commerce solution or a CRM application may require features like Transactions and Stored Procedures which are not a part of the original MySQL package.
Our database designers and software engineers have worked on varied platforms and created a huge variety of applications for different industries. These engineers can help you identify the platform & database to use and then help design and implement an anomaly free database for your application.
