Long,

    If your interviewing a DB designer you might want to add a question on
normalization, namely how they view the process.  I've seen what IMHO is both
ends of the spectrum, namely every thing absolutely normalized to the N'th
degree and absolutely no normalization at all.  In case 1 you end up with
minimal storage requirements, but kill the CPU's when you try to create
information from the data.  On the other end you save of CPU time, but clobber
the system with disk requirements. Either extreme makes modification of the
design rather painful.

Hi,

I am preparing questions for an Oracle DB Designer job interview. Two questions
that I would like you to give me some input. They are

1) What are the aspects of DB Design that you would consider to be important in
J2EE applications development?

2) Organisations usually have some standards for DB Design. What would your
approach be  to using and/or reviewing these standards?

Your comments are appreciated.

Long
