Requirements Analysis: Collaborative design of the data structure: identifying needed entities (e.g., "Customers", "Orders", "Products"), their attributes, and the relationships between them.
Schema Design: Creating an optimal and normalized database schema (e.g., ER diagrams) to ensure data integrity and query efficiency.
DBMS Selection & Setup: Installation and basic configuration of a Database Management System (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) on your server.
API Development for Access: Creation of a simple and secure REST API to perform core operations with your database: adding, retrieving, updating, and deleting records. This will allow your website or application to interact with the data.
Basic Population & Migration: Assistance in migrating existing data from Excel/Google Sheets into the new database or its initial population.
Technical Documentation: Provision of documentation on the database structure and API methods for future handover to another developer.
Ideal for: Businesses outgrowing Excel's capabilities, needing structured storage for clients, orders, product catalogs for subsequent use in websites and applications.
