Discuss the important role played by users in the process of database design.

What will be an ideal response?

The users’ involvement throughout the database design phase is critical to providing the ‘correct’
system. In particular, the user should clarify any ambiguities in the specification that describes the
required system and also review continually the development of the database design. The process
of developing the database design is repeated until the user is prepared to ‘sign-off’ the design as
being a ‘true’ representation of the part of the enterprise that is being modeling.
