Your hypothetical employer, Park University, continues to be very pleased with your feedback and documentation on initial modeling efforts to support the new and coming payroll database. The University is also pleased with your suggested ideas toward future queries to be used to support various reporting along with employee payroll stubs. Now that initial planning for queries is in process, Park University wants to make sure all is in order for the complete life cycle of this payroll database by offering feedback on the following questions below:

1. Based on previous research and ideas, initial discussion and ideas for the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has been covered and based on initial ideas, is the same initial SDLC methodology still in order or does the methodology need to change. Describe and defend in scholarly detail!!

2. Going further into the life cycle of this payroll database, what do you envision the Database Life Cycle (DBLC) to be like at this point and how are these procedures and operations between the SDLC and DBLC similar and where do they differ? Describe and defend in scholarly detail!!

3. Based on the general life cycle of the payroll database, indicate a proposed sequence of activities showing further comparisons between the SDLC and DBLC of the payroll database.

4. In conclusion, share ideas and reasoning offering suggestions comparing database design strategies for the payroll database using top-down vs. bottom-up design and centralized vs. decentralized design. Describe and defend in scholarly detail which design strategy is best in this case. Include any other important conclusions or content you see fit to support this assignment.
