1. Identify the Tables.
2. Determine the primary keys.
3. Determine the additional fields.
4. Determine relationships among the tables.
5. Determine data types for the fields.
6. Identify and remove any unwanted redundancy.
7. Determine a location for the database. The database you have designed will
be stored in a single file. You need to determine a location in which to store
the file.

Database
When designing a database, you should reduce duplicate information, which is known as normalization. This process involves organizing data into separate tables to minimize redundancy and improve data integrity. By normalizing a database, you can avoid data anomalies and maintain consistency in your data.
Yes, it is true that database users typically use standard guidelines for naming tables. These guidelines help in ensuring consistency and clarity in the naming conventions used, making it easier for users to understand and work with the database. Standard naming conventions may include using descriptive and meaningful names, avoiding special characters or spaces, and following a consistent format.
In database the data is stored in tables called database tables. These tables have rows and columns. Each row is called a tuple.
Database comprises of records that are related to each other. In database the data is stored in the form of tables, are called database tables .
Database is the collection of data which are interrelated with each other. Data in database is stored in form of table these tables are known as database tables.
The Entity-Relationship diagram is the most helpful in designing a relational database to store object data. It visually represents entities, their attributes, and the relationships between them, providing a clear understanding of the database structure and enabling effective planning of tables and relationships.
This is a very broad question. I'll try to present different areas for you to consider when designing a database. 1. What is the database program and what is the OS it will reside on? 2. What is the scope of the database? Small (100 tables), medium (500 tables), large (1000+ tables and maybe a Terabyte of data?) 3. What type of data needs to be stored? 4. You'll need to know the hierarchy, related data (to make relationships between the tables), nature of the data within the tables to properly size the tables for future growth. Now, if you don't have all the up-front information, you can always create the database with what you do know. However, realize that later you may have to restructure, recreate the tables larger and copy the data or it may be easier just to recreate the database. If you need to do this, you can export the data if you have any that needs saved. If on the same node, you can do this table to table or by flat files. Table to table, you will have to disable auditing and any constraints, they reenable when finished. If you insert by flat files, it is faster and you will not have to disable. There is a lot to designing, updating and maintaining a database.
Tables are the basic building blocks of a relational database.
A relational database is a database that contains tables linked by common fields. These common fields are used to establish connections between the tables and to retrieve related data across multiple tables using queries.
