Discussion Post: Fundamentals of Database Systems
For this Discussion post, complete the following:
You have been asked to design a database for CTU, which includes three entities (tables): Students, Faculty, and Courses.

Discuss the following:
1) Identify 2 to 3 attributes for each entity, and describe the relationships between the entities.
2) Why is the selection of entities and attributes so important during the design phase of a database?
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
