Current digital forensic process models are often found to be unsatisfactory due to the fact that they do not provide process model with opportunities to be actively involved database forensic investigation. This study presents common database forensic investigation process, which is proposed by reviewing a few particular digital investigation process models that have created and then identified the frequently common processes phases concentrates. Results of this study showed that with the determining of the frequently shared process, it could be easier for the new users to recognize the processes and also to serve as the basic fundamental concept for the improvement of a new set of processes. Thus, proposing this kind of process model may help to resolve the problems and difficulties associated with database forensic in general.
