Home Contents Index Master Index New Book

In This Chapter

Once a data model is prepared, it must be implemented as a database and tables. This chapter covers the decisions that you must make to implement the model.

The first step in implementation is to complete the data model by defining the column-specific properties, or set of data values, for every column. The second step is to implement the model using SQL statements.

The first section of this chapter covers defining column-specific properties in detail. The second section shows how you create the database (using the CREATE DATABASE and CREATE TABLE statements) and populate it with data.
