Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/database-design

Database design is the process of defining how data will be structured, organized, and related within a database, typically involving entity-relationship modeling, normalization, and schema definition. Database designers and developers create these structures to minimize redundancy, maintain data integrity, and support efficient querying for applications ranging from small business tools to large-scale enterprise systems. Good database design is foundational to application performance and long-term data maintainability.
