Let author Cris Ippolite show you how to translate aspects of the real world into the form and language of a relational database, using three practical data modeling examples. The course begins by reviewing some of the basic concepts of data modeling, introducing tables, key fields, and the Relationship Graph. Then, after demonstrating how to establish relationships in a database, the course concludes with a demonstration of some advanced modeling techniques, such as filtering, scripting, and the use of portals.
The course applies to versions of FileMaker Pro from 7 through the most current version.
