Introduction In this database design tutorial (~9000 words) I’m going to show how to design the database tables for a real-world project of substantial complexity.
We’ll design a clone of Google Calendar. We will model as much as possible of the functionality that is directly related to the calendar.
This series illustrates an approach explained in the book called “Database Design using Minimal Modeling”, scheduled to be released in Summer 2024.
