Guided Learning Guide — Chapter 5
Use these lessons in order the first time. They turn Chapter 5 into one connected story instead of a vocabulary dump.
- Purpose, requirements, and core components
- Relationships, domains, and keys
- The six modeling schemes
- Dimensional modeling in depth
- Conceptual, logical, physical, and canonical models
- Normalization, abstraction, and engineering direction

Study rule: after each lesson, close it and explain the deciding distinctions from memory before moving on.
