Their impor-tance will only continue to expand as more and more data are retained in database systems. An effective database system is predicated on a good data model. database design is the conceptu-alization of an underlying data mode l that progresses from identifying user requirements to graphica lly depicting those requirements and fina lly mapping the graphical models to a set of ta-bles implemented in a phys ical database system. The abstract nature of much of database design makes it challenging to teach. This paper presents a set of software animations designed to sup-port the Teaching of database design concepts. Topic areas covered include mapping problem descriptions to Entity Relationship (ER) diagrams, mapping ER diagrams to tables, normalization and denormalization and comparison of various ER notation sets.
