Diploma in Relational Database – January 2021

Relational databases are the bedrock of transactional processes and are used extensively in almost all businesses. A standard set of methodologies has been developed to help architects and data modellers to structure data at rest and identify the relationships between data elements e.g.; entity relationship diagrams. Further approaches like ‘data flow diagrams’ have been developed to identify when data needs to be moved from one location to another or from one state to another e.g.; the data is moved to the processor so that it is converted to a human readable form rather than a binary form used internally in the computer.
