Question

I need to create a Sql Database Checklist,
I have some basics points like

• Each table must have a primary key
• Normalize data to third normal form
• Check for Integrity column the column value should be incremented properly.

But can anyone help me to enhance this list ?

Answer 1

• Objects conform to a single naming convention
• Create foreign key relationships
• Apply appropriate index(es)
• Use of schema or other mechanisms for controlling read/write access, etc
• Consideration given to how long data should be kept before deletion or archive
• Version control over scripts for updating the database structure
• Mechanism for applications to determine version of database
• Backup and recovery plans in place
