Data is taking the lead in corporate decision making. Data analytics is now the key driving factor. Unless and until, there is a comprehensive database with you, analysts can’t do the job successfully. To generate optimum analytical reports, there should be valuable data and information handy with you.
Our database creation services spans across multiple industries. We follow customized database creation workflow depending on the varied data needs of the different industries. The main areas which we think of prior to database design are:
Outcome to be generated by the database
Data collection and analysis methods
Required functions to operate on the database
The Data Analysis Stage: In the initial data analysis step, we use multiple methodologies to create the design of the database. Our experienced database professionals use the following two methods:
Entity Relationship Modelling: In this method, our professionals decide on the entity types and attributes; and build a network depicting the individual relationships of the individual entities. The relational database model we create aligns with the specialized data needs of the organization.
Normalisation: Through the normalization method, we ensure that the database is accurate without any kind of duplicative entries or any kind of obsolete relationships between the different entities.
The efficiency of database design and creation is determined by the fact as how the database is meeting your overall business requirements.
The Physical Implementation Stage: Once the database design is created, we undertake the physical implementation process using different database systems. Our professionals have experience working with Oracle, MySQL, DB2 and SQLServer etc.
We always approach our database creation with the utmost flexibility because the number of attributes can increase and the features can also be modified or increased depending upon the future business requirements.
While you are busy using your existing business databases for taking important business decisions; you can’t always concentrate on how the database is performing over time. The architectural changes to the databases results in the behavioral changes and may affect the relationships among the different entities.
By assigning your routine database maintenance tasks to us, you not only save your time but also can get access to the optimum database performance every time. Our professionals perform multiple database maintenance tasks in order to avoid any kind of negative impact on your business.
Compaction of Database: In the database compaction method, we carry out the processes to free up the unused space in the database files. The unstructured records are moved to the pages which are arranged in a logical order. This process helps in maintaining a predictable file size and also significantly reduces the time required to take the database backup.
Defragmentation of Database: Analyzing the database is important in order to understand the disk utilization patterns. By running the defragmentation process, we can detect the discontinuities in the operations. After that, effective troubleshooting can be undertaken to optimize the execution of different tasks and operations.
Scanning of Database: Internal crashes may happen in the database at any point of time and files may go corrupt, resulting in loss of vital business information. The database needs to be scanned, in order to find out any risk factors that may affect the database operation. Depending upon the size of the databases, our professionals set different scanning schedules to ascertain the proper functioning.
Whether you are executing an existing project or planning for a new future project, your corporate database means a lot to you. Your business processes stand on your data. So, you need to undertake database profiling for analyzing the data sets.
Database profiling involves steps that compile the vast records based on different parameters and provide you with the essential statistics regarding different fields and the dependencies between them.
We conduct the database profiling using both the manual and the automated techniques, depending upon the circumstances.
Manual Profiling: We use manual techniques for smaller data sets with number of fields less than 50. We take a query by query approach in order to assess the different data conditions.
Automated Profiling: For larger databases having high number of fields and different sources, we use specialized software tools to perform the profiling and to derive the analytical reports.
Our database profiling services can support you during any of your small scale or large scale database integration and migration needs.
