Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Analyse the requirements for the database	1.1 Determine the information that the database is required to hold 1.2 Develop a written requirement report for the functionality of the database 1.3 Complete the documentation, and submit it to the appropriate person for approval
2. Use data modelling to design the database to suit requirements	2.1 Design an entity-relationship (ER) diagram to model the relationships between the entities and the attributes that the database will hold 2.2 Develop primary and foreign keys to link the entities 2.3 Develop a data dictionary 2.4 Complete the documentation, and submit it to the appropriate person for approval
3. Create a database on a web or database server	3.1 Use the appropriate language on a web or database server to create one or more databases 3.2 Use the appropriate language on a web or database server to create tables 3.3 Populate the database fields
4. Test the database and debug	4.1 Test the database on the web or database server 4.2 Ensure that the information represented matches the requirements
