Introduction

The more preparation you put into the design of your database up front, the fewer problems you will run into in the future. You also will be able to build your database much quicker with this information planned out.

Directions

Build a data dictionary from your submitted datasets with the fields you plan to include in your database.

Your data dictionary should include:

Name of your database

Entity type

Attributes for each entity

Attribute data type

Required/optional attributes

Example of the attribute

Short description of data field

Will the field accept a NULL value?

Submit your file as an .xls file. If you used Google Sheets, export into .xls to upload.
