database design

Review the Final Project Description and begin to plan your database design. The first step to any database design is to determine its purpose and to define how it will be used. This week, you must submit your Database Design Project Proposal that explains what kind of database you will design, the type of information your database will contain, and the type of information output for your database. 

Use the following questions to guide you as you plan the needs and features for your database. 

· What is the purpose of the database? Why is it needed? What should it do?

· Who are the users and what are their information needs?

· What are the questions that the system should answer?

· What type of input data is going to be available to the database?

· What kind of information should be stored in the database?
