Sequence 084 — T4 - DDL, data types and constraints

Stage: Technology Gate A — Relational Foundation
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Build only enough relational structure to support data-management labs.

What you should learn

  • CREATE TABLE.
  • Practical data types.
  • PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, NOT NULL, UNIQUE, CHECK.
  • Identity/surrogate-key awareness.

What to read / study

Priority Resource Use now Stop point
MUST Technology Competency Roadmap Use the exact active technology block and stopping boundary. Do not study later blocks.
REFERENCE Detailed Technology Competency Reference Use only the section named by this card. Do not convert the reference into a separate curriculum.

Do this in order

  1. Create a small practice schema/table set.
  2. Add constraints.
  3. Attempt one invalid insert and interpret the failure.
  4. Explain which rule is structural vs business governance.

Meridian application

Use Meridian synthetic data and the local lab environment only when the card calls for practice.

Create / save

DDL script + constraint evidence.

Stop / boundary

Stop at governance/data-management working depth; do not expand into DBA or engineering specialization.

Completion gate

You can create a constrained schema from SQL and explain why each constraint exists.
