Database Development

Database application development is the process of obtaining real-world requirements, analyzing requirements, designing the data and functions of the system, and then implementing the operations in the system. As a Database Developer, my primary focus is to creating new applications or expand the capabilities of existing databases. Please note that I am less concentrated on daily maintenance tasks (Database Administration) and more focused on changing and improving how organizations use data within the web application that we are building or improving upon.

The database management system (DBMS) is the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze the data. The DBMS software additionally encompasses the core facilities provided to administer the database. ~ Wikipedia

The world generates a lot of data — more than 2.5 quintillion bytes every day to be exact. And that number only continues to grow. Nearly every organization relies on databases to wrangle, organize and utilize their growing collections of data. That’s where database developer come in. Database developer ensure that database management systems (DBMS) can handle massive quantities of data.

My Typical Workflow:

• Design new databases to meet the needs of the customers and users
