Some Reviews
The instructor is excellent at simply explaining the fundamental characteristics of a database design and construction.
The concepts are very easily explained. Most of the doubts which I had before are now completely clear. Thanks a lot to Timothy miles god bless him.
This is truly a fundamental Database Design Principles course, it explains the very basics of database design and normalization process. It’s a very good guide for every student in the beginning, because it’s essential to understand the database design process. It explains and clarifies some concepts that I haven’t learn at school. I very recommend this course.
Good cadence, clearly spoken lectures. Bite sized so its easy to watch one, step away and start a new one when you have time. I enjoyed the lectures, but more examples from different scenarios would have been appreciated, such as databases from different field rather than just sales.
Great Database Design Principles course. I was designing an Access database for my business and made all the mistakes that were described here, which created structural problems. Now I WILL NORMALIZE until it hurts and then DE-NORMALIZE until it works!
Very informative and Useful course. I started the course following the recommendation of my manager, but now I can see how much it will improve my work performance. I definitely will look for another coursers related to Database and Microsoft Access. Great instructor on this course.
It’s my first Udemy course that I’ve completed, and I wanted something to help me understand databases and how to design them. This Database Design Principles course absolutely helped with that! Very easy to follow and understand!
This course elaborates many things I had learned in my previous course with great demonstrations that deepen my understanding of CRUD, the importance of primary and key foreign in creating table and column relationships, and data normalization. I read most of this but I can see how it is done practically.
