The Future, Conan?

My schedule, skeletal! My database model, desolate! Tonight, I'll begin mapping out my informational infrastructure, namely what I'll accommodate and relationships between objects.

Database design involves iterating through the different levels of normalization. I've got First Normal Form down, since it's simply splitting your data into separate interrelated tables. Second Normal Form is about columns depending on part of a composite key, and Third pertains to ridding tables of interdependent columns, which seems intuitive. For myself, that's far enough; more silly tables means more silly JOINs.

So tonight I'll brainstorm, and unless dawn breaks on a chaos of lines and scribblings I will have failed.
