9. Database Example: the Ameritech Whitepages
What is data is in the Ameritech phonebook white pages?
What data isn't available in the Ameritech phone book that you would like in your personal phonebook?
Is there any additional data you would like to have in your personal phone book?
How would you arrange this data in a table? 

10. Database Design What questions do I want the database to answer?
What data do I need to answer these questions
How are the data related?

11. Sample Database: Movies
In CSE 103 we construct a large, complex database
~35 MB in size
we will use this database throughout the course

12. Movie Database Design
What questions would you like answered about movies?
Be specific!
What pieces of information do you need to answer these questions?

13. Design: Second Pass
Copy the file sec01_day25_movies.doc from my personal AFS space
Can we answer all of the questions using this data?
If not, what additional data do we need?
Are there any categories of data that should be further subdivided?
 Example: Should an Actor's First Name and Last Name be separate items of data?
What other examples?
Are there any other interesting questions we would like answered?

14. Organizing the Data What things go with an actor?
What things go with the title of a movie?
Each category is an entity
e.g. Actor, Movie
Data belonging to each entity are attributes

15. Refining the groupings
Exchange addresses with your partners so you can continue to refine your groupings
Questions:
What entities do we need in the movie database?
What attributes do we need for each of the entities?
How should you acquire data on movies?
What different sources of information are available to you?
