Data Dictionary :
• Data dictionary in the report should matchwith the PPT (avoid last movement changes).
• Data dictionary should match with the ERDiagram this is 90% chances you will get thequestions.
• Tables should be properly be arranged thatparent table first and related tables with that.
• You must define the size property for everycolumn after giving due thought.
Data Dictionary :
• All tables (almost) must have properly definedprimary keys/foreign key and thedocumentation must clearly indicate theprimary key.
• Normalize the database.
• Keep tables like:
– City master
– State master
– Country master
– Salutation master
– Qualification master etc.
Data Dictionary :
• Store the passwords in encrypted form.
• If any De-normalization for your databaseplease do mention that with valid reason.
• Use Stored Procedures in your project and domention that (No. & purpose).
User Screens/Forms :

Coding tips:
–Don’t forget to use the Session handling forall the pages except static pages.
