Initial Idea 1: Database Design and Implementation
DATABASE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
First of all,
What is DATA?
Data are facts or pieces of information about the object
under review. For instance, the person's name, age, height, weight, ethnicity,
hair color, and birthdate, are examples of personal data. Data
encompasses more than just written facts; it also includes photographs,
images, and files. (CFI, 2022)

What is Database Design?
Database design refers to a set of procedures that make it
easier to plan, create, implement, and maintain enterprise data management
systems. A well-designed database is simple to manage, increases data
consistency, and saves money on disc storage space. The database designer
determines how data items relate to one another and what information must be
saved. (Peterson, 2022)
The primary goals of database structure in DBMS are to create logical and physical models of the database system under consideration. (Peterson, 2022)
For instance, the Database development lifecycle below does show the orders of creating a structure;
