Data modeling

[Arun Kumarr]

Data modeling is an art. Your DB design gets wiser with experience.
Can't we have a separate thread which shares best pratices for DB design and related queries? Will help people to make judicious decisions.

[Gregg Bolinger]

Forums get created when there is enough traffic that warrents creating one. Currently I think the OO, Patterns, UML and Refactoring as well as the JDBC forum are pretty good fits for such discussion.

If you see quite a bit of data modelling discussion, be sure and bring it our attention.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Can we change this("OO, Patterns, UML and Refactoring
and UML tools.") to "OO, Patterns, Data Modeling, UML and Refactoring and UML tools."?

because there were times when I wanted to get some good suggestions and was searching for threads which had data modeling discussions. May be an addition of this word might make a difference in the traffic.

or may be we can have a thread which covers data modeling, Data mining, Data warehousing best pratices and design. I hardly get to see any forums on-line which exclusively shares knowledge and best practices.

Hmm, maybe. Or we might just put it in the forum description text? I'll run it by some other staffers. Thanks.

It is common accepted practice to discuss data modeling in the OO forum, so I simply added it to the description to make it official.

When we get better ideas, we can still change it again...

thanks Ilja.
