Database Design & SQL Server
About the service

Built around real business requirements.

I design and work with SQL Server databases for business applications that require reliable transactions, clear relationships, strong data integrity, and efficient querying. My work includes schema design, normalization, indexes, constraints, joins, stored procedures, views, reporting queries, Dapper repositories, Entity Framework Core integration, and troubleshooting slow database operations. The goal is to keep database structures understandable and efficient while supporting the real business workflow of the application.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers about scope, process, technology, and delivery.

Can you design a new SQL Server database from requirements?

Yes. I can translate business requirements into tables, relationships, constraints, indexes, and supporting queries or stored procedures.

Do you use Dapper or Entity Framework Core?

I work with both. Dapper is useful when direct SQL control and lightweight data access are important, while EF Core is useful for ORM-based workflows and domain-driven development.

Can you optimize slow SQL queries?

Yes. I review query structure, execution behavior, joins, filters, indexes, unnecessary data loading, and application- side usage to identify practical improvements.

Can you work with existing databases?

Yes. I can extend existing schemas, add new modules, improve queries, create reports, and integrate database changes into an existing .NET application.

Do you use parameterized queries?

Yes. Parameterized SQL is used with Dapper or other data-access approaches to improve security and avoid unsafe string-based query input.
