The 5-Step Blueprint for Designing Any Database

A five-step framework for designing relational databases from scratch: (1) gather and clarify requirements, (2) identify entities and relationships, (3) add attributes and keys, (4) validate and normalize the design, and (5) review with stakeholders. The framework emphasizes that database design is a repeatable process rather than guesswork, and that no special tools or DBA title are required. The content serves as a promotional overview for a paid course called 'Effective Database Design' priced at $97.
