ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 29 of 100

The appropriate order is A → B → C: identify required data items, create the tables, and then insert records. Requirements determine which facts the business must store. Those facts guide the logical design of tables, columns, keys, and relationships. Only after the database structure exists can records be inserted into the appropriate tables.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- (b) attempts to insert records before the tables have been created

- (c) creates tables before identifying what business data they must represent

- (d) both creates the structure without requirements and inserts data before identifying it

Key rule: Database construction proceeds from data requirements to schema definition to population with actual records.
