The lack of an appropriate, widely accepted, design procedure for use with non-relational database management systems has been a major, common problem in many efforts to develop an integrated hospital database. The availability of such a design procedure is particularly important today since the majority of the database management systems currently in use are non-relational. A database design procedure is proposed which should assist with the design of optimal non-relational hospital database systems. The proposed design procedure is separated into two distinct steps: the development of an appropriate intermediate relational database structure and the subsequent development of an equivalent non-relational one. A set of rules is given for the move from the proposed intermediate relational to the equivalent non-relational structure. An example application from the hospital environment is also included in order to better demonstrate the process.
在许多开发综合医院数据库的工作中，缺乏适用于非关系型数据库管理系统的、被广泛接受的设计程序一直是一个主要的常见问题。如今，这样一种设计程序的可用性尤为重要，因为当前使用的大多数数据库管理系统都是非关系型的。本文提出了一种数据库设计程序，该程序应有助于设计最优的非关系型医院数据库系统。所提出的设计程序分为两个不同的步骤：开发适当的中间关系型数据库结构，以及随后开发等效的非关系型数据库结构。给出了一组从提议的中间关系型结构转换为等效非关系型结构的规则。还包含一个来自医院环境的示例应用，以便更好地演示该过程。
