IDERA hosted its 11th #SQLChat on Wednesday, May 11th with data modeling guru, Karen Lopez (@datachick).
The myths and misunderstandings that revolve around data modeling were discussed. This was the largest database design and development chat IDERA has hosted, with over 218 tweets generated and 74 retweets of the hashtag #SQLChat.
Participants agreed that common myths include the idea that data modeling is a task that is easy, irrelevant and unnecessary. After explaining current misunderstandings in the industry, it was decided that educating others is the main solution to changing these views.
Also, congratulations to Craig Mullins (@craigmullins), winner of “Star Wars: The Complete Saga” (Blu-Ray) Box Set!
