dc.description.abstract	An overall methodology for database design is presented. This includes creation of a data dictionary and relational analysis. An algorithm is presented to create a conceptual schema or logical database design from the set of third normal form relations. The primary emphasis of this paper is to present algorithms for restructuring the conceptual schema to create first pass designs (FPO) for particular DBMS. These FPDs can then be used as the basis for iterative physical database design and performance predictions. Examples are given for creating FPDs for TOTAL and IMS. These can be extended for any other DBMS. Indications are given for future research in extending the methodology.	en
