PART 1-

Design a database schema for the proposed Database Design Proposal in Module 1.

Identify and list all relevant entities and their relationships:

1) Select no less than five entities.
2) Provide a diagram.
3) Map this to a database schema.
4) Provide a data dictionary for all entity attributes.

Focus on one or two areas of your design that seemed especially difficult to develop and provide a brief assessment of the difficulty you encountered in modeling or mapping to the schema. In addition, provide the rationale for the design chosen, its limitations, and its possible extensions.

Tip: If you do not have access to ER modeling software or a diagramming tool like Visio or OmniGraffle, you can simply create diagrams in a presentation tool like PowerPoint. This is an essential skill which is used in the field.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

This assignment will be utilized again in Modules 4 and 5. Prior to Module 4, review any feedback provided to you by the instructor.

PART 2-

Details: 1) Based on the feedback received on your Module 2 assignment Database Schema, provide SQL statements to create the (revised) database and populate it with sample data (at least four rows per table).

2) Modify the database by adding an additional column ("Deleted_Date") to those tables that represent entities that could contain data which can be deleted and justify your rationale in a short paragraph. In addition, explain what the tradeoffs are in using a marker-column for deletion, as opposed to actually deleting a row from a table?

3) APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

PART 3- SQL QUERIES

Details:

For this assignment, use the following database schema:

1) Patient-PatientID, Name, DOB
2) Doctor-DoctorID, Name, MedLicenseNumber, Phone
3) Medication-MedicationID, BrandName, GenericName
4) Prescription-PrescriptionID, Date, PatientID, PrescriberID, MedicationID

Specify the SQL queries to retrieve:

1) A list of all doctors.
2) The number of patients that were born before 01/01/1994.
3) The patient information along with the ID of any prescribing doctor for each patient.
4) The prescription information along with patient name, DOB, medication brand name, and prescribing doctor name sorted by most recent date.
5) The most prescribed generic medication name.
