Surprised that normalization comes after determining entities!

I agree with Lashanda, that makes the most sense!

Wait, why would you select a DBMS before normalizing? Seems off.

I think it should be 3, 4, 1, 2 instead.

Definitely 4, 1, 3, 2! That's the right order.

I’m confused about the order, but I think user views might come after normalization. Maybe option C is correct?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like selecting a DBMS should be one of the last steps.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about normalization coming after identifying entities.

I think we should start with determining entities first, so I’m leaning towards option C.

I think the order is pretty straightforward - determine the entities, then apply normalization, design the user views, and finally select the DBMS. That makes the most sense to me based on the typical database design process.

I'm a bit confused on the ordering here. I know normalization comes after identifying the entities, but I'm not sure where the user views and DBMS selection fit in. I'll have to think this through more carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to start with determining the entities, then design the user views, apply normalization, and finally select the DBMS. I'm confident that's the right order.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think I need to really focus on the order of the activities here. Let me go through them carefully.

Wasn't there something about being able to manage repositories across different regions uniquely for Alibaba? I think that might be one of the answers.

I'm going with B. Normalize the data, then identify the entities, design the user views, and finally pick the DBMS. Gotta get the foundation right before building the house.

Option C looks good to me. Determine entities first, then design the user views, apply normalization, and lastly select the DBMS. Seems like a logical flow.

Yes, that order seems logical. It's important to have a clear understanding of the entities before proceeding with the rest of the design activities.

I agree with you. It makes sense to start with determining entities before moving on to the other activities.

I think option C is the correct order. Determine entities first, then design user views, apply normalization, and finally select the DBMS.

I think the correct order is 4, 1, 3, 2. You gotta start with the entities, then design the user views, apply normalization, and finally select the DBMS. Can't put the cart before the horse, you know?

I see your point, Earleen. But I think the correct ordering is C) 4, 1, 3, 2 because determining entities should come first in the design process.
EA

I disagree, I believe the correct ordering is B) 3, 4, 1, 2 because normalization should come before determining entities.
DA

I think the correct ordering is A) 1, 2, 3, 4 because you need to design user views before selecting a DBMS.
