Analyst Notes & Deliverables Details

Data Model & ERD. [req 2.00] Download the spreadsheets SCASisterCities.xlsx and SCAPersons.xlsx by clicking these links. Your team will submit for review two diagrams: a data model created in Visio, and a physical database design using MySQL Workbench. (See "Deliverables" above.)

Before you begin making diagrams, please read these notes carefully ... 
  •  Study and refer to the Diagramming Guidelines, Naming Conventions, and 421 Data Specifications when creating the data models
  •  This is a new diagram, not a revision of the conceptual data model from Lab 1. You may throw your Lab 1 conceptual model away now.
  •  Carefully examine the data in SCASisterCities.xlsx and SCAPersons.xlsx.
  •  Create a logical data model (Visio) with two entities that represent the data found in SCASisterCities.xlsx and SCAPersons.xlsx.
  •  Create a physical data model (MySQLWorkbench) that is based on the logical data model you create above for the data found in SCASisterCities.xlsx and SCAPersons.xlsx. Make sure to follow all naming conventions
  •  There is no direct relationship between the sister cities and people: neither the logical data model and nor the physical data design will include relationships.
