Data modeling, how much (“好妈吃” ) reading?

1. Data integrity, 3NF concepts;
2. Ref. to your papers, elaborate how d/m fit into your previous projects (chapter 7) and your contributions – D/M in SDLC;
3. Data flow architecture in D/M: oltp, m/r/h olap (dimension/multidimension) on normalization vs de-normalization for each stage;
4. Your role/contribution: the gap between the AS IS and TO BE (i.e. chapter);
5. Some thoughts ref. to quotations below , that you might use them in your meeting.

Data Modeler Blessings
May the Creator gather us into one entity defined as members of the set Humanity.
May our primary key help us to recognize ourselves as irreplaceable and unique for all
time.
May all our mandatory attributes be filled with good values and our optional attributes be
generously supplied.
May all our relationships be for good, gainful, and positive purposes for building strong
connections in our travels as foreign keys both as recursions to ourselves and as intersections
with other entities in this universe.
And may any categorization be recognized as less a division, separating us from each
other, and more a highlighting of what makes us special.
—Sharon Allen, 2002
A bad design is the bulldozer of ideas. Inelegant and ruthless. It leaves you to sift through
the rubble of what might have been. A good design, done with style, takes longer but will
always serve you better in the end.
May your teammates be open to new ideas.
May your management allow you the time to do your job.
May your encounters with bulldozers be few and your designs be elegant.
—Evan Terry, 2005
