When defining your architecture and/or database system remember the following steps to help prevent bad architecture from occurring:

  1. Define the objective of the data warehouse
  2. Research the data and datasets (understand the business and its processes)
  3. Design the data model
  4. Define the database relationships
  5. Define rules, triggers and constraints
  6. Create views and/or reports
  7. Implement it.
