Armen will lead you on an exploration beyond database design standards and best practices. He will cover useful techniques and patterns such as:
• Designing for flexible and powerful user permissions far beyond hierarchical levels, that put your users fully in control
• Storing variable, expandable data using attribute-value pairs (and when not to use them)
• Designing tables and fields to avoid hardcoding special values
• Storing diagnostic data, to help you with debugging those long and complex calculations and processes
