Hi, Last night I was working on a relatively new project. This got me thinking... How do others tackle such a task?
So here is my question: When faced with a new database related project, where do you start? Do you first design the database schema, then build the BOM (Business Objects) accordingly? Or, do you first design the BOM, then design the database schema to fit. Personally, most of my project were started by first creating the database schema. Don't ask me why, that is just what I did. Maybe it was because many of the tools I use, can write much of the boiler plate code for me, and they do that by querying a database structure. But I've been thinking that with my next project, I'm going to start with the BOM first, and see how it goes. I'm assuming the end result should be the same, no matter which part I tackled first. What's your thoughts?
