SUMMARY If you decide to store the data for your solution in an
Access database or in another relational database, designing the database
structure is likely to be the most challenging part of building the solution.
Although it is fairly easy to modify the data model while you are developing
the solution, it is much more difficult once you have started to build other
database objects. Therefore, you should put as much effort as possible into
designing the data model before you begin to create any objects in the
database. Developing a solution based on a well-designed data model will make
it much easier for you to develop the solution.
