Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design? (self.programming)

The other day I asked for an analysis or at least an UML diagram since we are having quite some troubles and my boss looked disgusted at me for asking such a question. I’m not a professional backend developer, so I don’t know how it works professionally

While I‘m not a „professional“ in the sense of ever working for a classical software company and had to look up uml, I have been CEO before and most bosses are not very intelligent (but kinda smart).

He might have reacted that way because he either didn’t know what you mean or he wanted you to do the work of designing the database. Just a thought though.

The DB is already made, but they had to change it cause they didn't plan a huge portion of its logic beforehand even though they knew about it: this resulted in major changes across the whole schema

I‘m sure you didn‘t mean harm by copy pasting your answer but it doesn’t really match my comment now.
