Most programmers believe that documenting a database is just as painful, but it doesn't have to be. The reason I created my own data dictionary process at work is simple: there were just too many databases, too many tables and too many columns to keep everything straight in my brain. Do I use this table or that view and what's the difference between them? What's the definition of that column and why am I not using this other column instead? It had become a nightmare and something needed to be done...quickly!This book outlines the process the author and his colleagues successfully went through to create a data dictionary for every database within our small company. While the author cannot guarantee that the steps outlined herein will be a rousing success in your company, at least it can serve as a starting point for the creation of your own data dictionary process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45507926556823,"sku":"9781499533088","price":878.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781499533088.webp?v=1767167808","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poor-mans-data-dictionary-document-your-database-quickly-cheaply-and-painlessly-9781499533088","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
