Conceptual Design in Database Development

Conceptual Design in Database Development!

The conceptual design is the first phase in the database design process:

1. Conceptual Design
2. Logical Design
3. Implementation (Adaption)
4. Physical Design

The conceptual design phase is a process of "Analysis and Discovery" and its goal is to define the "Requirements" of a system (a company/business/organization/etc.).

There are four main tasks to do in this phase:

1. Documenting the entities and the relationships between entities

2. Documenting the business rules for data

3. Defining the scope of the system

4. Defining a plan for security of the system
