im making a ASP.NET web application using a serverside database.

i have been requested to provide both UML and ERD/Normalization

i can do both of these techniques individually to a reasonable standard, however i am unsure about how they relate to each other?

for example if i do UML class diagrams first, does that mean all of the attributes in the class have to be in the same DB table?

if i do the normalization first i dont see how that helps with the UML?

The way im thinking of it at the moment is that the UML is just a way of sorting out the C# classes in ASP.net, and has nothing to do with the storage of the data (and therefore the ERD/normalization), and while classes may have several attributes - they dont need to be in the same table in the RDBMS - does that sound anywhere near right?

thanks :)
