I'd say data. Without data, what good is a database? You build up your database based upon the data you'll be storing, so the first place to start with building a database is to analyze your data. Design your database fields based upon that data and take into consideration the plans for your data. You can create multiple tables and have them interact, so consider how you can break things down into smaller chunks as necessary.

Yup. That's what I was mentioning about being able to create multiple tables. Basically, tables are what allow you to logically section your database, which helps out in terms of managing it (especially when dealing with large data sets) and also helps out with performance because you can deal with only the data you're trying to deal with most often.

You're more than welcome @James Ngai. What exactly are you working on or trying to figure out? I can probably help you out in other ways, or at least point you in the right direction.
