Brief Course Description The Large organizations may encounter problems with multiple database systems that use schema instances that lack interoperability and visibility. The source of this problem can frequently be traced back to organizational mergers and/or prior budget constraints that prevented the migration and merging of existing datasets. This then leads to a database instance with a standalone schema for each functional area of the organization. It is not uncommon to find a variety of database application server types (Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL) distributed among the functional areas of the organization.
Database schema aggregation provides a short and long term solution to this problem. Schema aggregation enables the organization to focus on the high value data sets by creating an optimized and amalgamated view of the data. This view is realized through traditional tables that hold ephemeral instances of the data that have been pulled from the source databases and transformed into the aggregate tables. The design of an aggregate schema provides an opportunity to sub-model the datasets that are currently organized by functional area into a comprehensive data hierarchy that avoids ambiguity.
In the short term, aggregation creates a unified data view while working with the existing database systems. In the long run it provides a road map for the eventual migration of the datasets to a global instance that requires less overhead to maintain.
