Welcome! I am a happy student for the 115107_1202 paper called Management Information Systems Here is a link to my Stream Wiki Page

In this Wikipedia page I share my reflections on data modelling, the assignment, and justificaitons of new attributes.

Reflections on data modelling


 * Data modelling looks like this:

Data Modelling

Ideally, data modelling should contain the following attributes:


 * Clarity
 * Logic
 * Cohesiveness
 * Relationships

When I needed to compile my ER diagram, I spent about an hour on this from go to woah.

Why only an hour, you may ask?

Simply because I am a student who meets the following criteria:


 * I have just reached double digits, one of the digits being greater than 4 and less than 6
 * I work full time as a Credit Controller for a large corporation who uses SAP
 * I am very engaged in life
 * Some stuff I know already
 * Some stuff is fun to learn
 * Some stuff is too time consuming to learn and not worth the stress
 * I am blessed with being a quick learner

ER Diagrams make some sense to me now and I think they are an excellent syntax to use, mainly because they provide a Universal Language for programmers from every culture.

Reflections on the assignment

In total, I spent 3 nights on this assignment, which, were I to add up the hours, I would say 9 hours. What was difficult was actually understanding what we needed to put down on paper, or should I say, screen dump into Word.

What was easy was using the filter in Excel. Hurrah, I knew how to do that already!

I'm actually going on a course next week through work called Excel Time saving Tips.

Why am I putting myself through all this extra work doing university study?
Quite simply,
 * I have the intelligence but I don't have the degree
 * I am always striving for improvement and growth in my professional life
 * I want to be an encouragement for my (10) children
 * It gives me intense pleasure to achieve something that took some challenge

Where are the links to the data modelling and justification of new attributes pages?

Answer? There aren't any.

Ask me how to build a Wordpress site and I will do so with no problem, and I will even host it on my own server, and my nameservers are:

ns885.websitewelcome.com
and

ns886.websitewelcome.com
I helped my friend with her business.

www.hairextensionz.co,nz

Justification of New Attributes

Many other knowledgeable people have given excellent explanations, such as this:

Justification of New Attributes

In addition to this, a description of Database Normalisation is provided here:

To summarise, in terms of the requirements listed for Part 5 of this assignment, I have provided a link from my Assignment wiki, that goes to ONE page only, rather than three separate pages, however I feel that I have understood the function to add a hyperlink to the text. The problem I had was not being able to quickly find a way to have more than one "Sandbox" under Wikipedia, and that is why I have provided only one page only.

This assignment is to the BEST OF MY ABILITY.

(Gosh, that sounds like an IRD online GST return phrase....)



Thank you for reading and processing my assignment, and I hope this has been a stimulating and rewarding experience for you.
