Abstract :
The design of a conceptual database schema is a critical task. The more methods a conceptual database designer has in order to communicate with the end user, the better it is for the quality of the conceptual schema. This paper focuses on the question: Can queries be used for checking missing concepts in a conceptual database schema? The usefulness of queries for schema checking will be presented in this paper.
