Final Remarks

Congratulations, you have successfully completed the “Database Design Fundamentals for Software Engineers” module.

Summary

This module started with the fundamentals of databases and went through the basics of data modeling. We learned about entity-relationship diagrams. We also went through the fundamentals of relational databases and familiarized ourselves with important ideas such as keys, constraints, and operations regarding relational databases. Then, we learned about functional dependencies and explored the concept of normalization. Finally, we ended the module by learning about the basics of SQL syntax and then used the learned concepts to build queries to retrieve relevant data from the database.

What’s next?

Now that we’ve familiarized ourselves with SQL and the basics of databases. We will now learn some hands-on SQL skills. The next module is “SQL: From Beginner to Advance.” At the start, it will cover the basics of SQL and will lead to advanced concepts such as views, procedures, and triggers.
