Consider a mid-size Nigerian commercial bank that is planning to migrate from a 20-year-old Oracle database to a modern cloud-based database system. Drawing on your knowledge from the ENTIRE course, write a comprehensive 400-word recommendation covering: (a) What database concepts should guide their data model design? (b) What normalisation strategy should they adopt? (c) What security measures are non-negotiable (including NDPR compliance)? (d) How should they handle concurrency given that the bank processes thousands of transactions simultaneously? (e) What backup and recovery strategy would you recommend for zero data loss? Engage with at least two classmates' recommendations and provide constructive feedback.
