    To create a database environment for Smith Consulting so they can track their consulting staff, each staff’s member skill sets, and what projects they are working on, they require the installation of a databases setup such as, Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, or Sybase in their machines as well as a separate server room for the database to maintain the connections and servers. To handle this database environment, the Smith Consulting also requires database administrators for each database who can maintain the database at every situation and make it easily accessible to the users who are working on it. (Verdiem Corporation, 2014) This is a kind of decision making process is one in which the management needs to decide which server they need to install so that they achieve the above mentioned goals within the organization. Let’s assume the management installed the Oracle database environment in their machines as well as in the separate database room. Now it is responsibility of the database administrator to properly handle the database environment so it is mostly recommended by all of the DBA’s to install the database server at a remote location which makes it less likely to be hacked and adds stability while using it. Another important role of the DBA is to have proper access to the database and based on the requirements and specifications to assign the permissions for the database to the management such as read, write and execute permissions. This will create the scenario of giving write permissions to the HR department which normally handles the new and old employees staffing. Now the HR department will update about the staff’s projects which means, which employees are allocated to which project and which employees are yet allocated to any projects. Write permissions are also given to the managers of every…

    3. When a volcano erupts, spewing forth a column of hot volcanic ash, the ash particles are tiny fragments of solidified magma that slowly fall to Earth’s surface, forming a layer of sediment. Would a rock formed from cemented particles of volcanic ash be igneous or sedimentary? Can you think of other circumstances that might form rocks that are intermediate between two of the major rock families?…

    Over the years, police have been portrayed in the media, television shows, and the local newspaper as crime fighting heroes. This portrayal would make one think a police officer is always out doing a dangerous job, which may require shooting, beating up, or arrested the bad guy. The truth is, most officers will not make a felony arrest in a given year, and there are also many officers who have never fired their weapon. There are various perspectives of the policing functions. I will examine these perspectives from the local, state, and federal organizational levels. I will identify and address possible future changes in laws and the overall impact these changes will have on the field of policing.…

    Getting Married

    The past three years have been really hard on me. I moved to Columbia when I was in the 10th grade and, I had to totally start over with friends and a new school. My life was simple and I thought I didn 't have to worry about anything. I began to see my mom spending a lot of her time with the same guy, and every chance she got she would go see him. I then realized this was much more then a "boyfriend" and that this could lead to a more personal connection. Because of this new relationship developing I began to discover that this could lead to a change in my life. A change that I would never forget and that it would hurt me emotionally for a long time. The very moment my mom told me she was getting married, I realized that she would be leaving town and I would have to change my home.…

    Getting Married

    Getting married is one of life’s largest decisions. Some people get married for different reasons. Some people get married because of love, age, career, religion, children, and sometimes just to say that they have been married. There are so many questions that you can ask yourself and significant other before making that big step. You may ask questions like are we going to have more children? How do we plan to deal with our finances? Are we going to set boundaries for our in-laws? Who will clean in and around the house? You may also ask what time will we be able to spend alone. Sometimes not discussing these topics will bring a strain on the relationship. Based on your partner’s response, you may end up having second thoughts. Not everyone will feel the same way I do but I think getting married is a waste of time.…

    why i got engaged

    Why I Got Engaged. Why I got engaged? There are many reasons. The main reason is because of Mariah the love of my life. I have been in love with her since I was about six years old. The moment I met her, I knew that she was the one who would change my life entirely; I would not give her up for the world. I always thought about her throughout the years, even though I had no idea how she felt about me. I had kept a little hope deep in my heart, mind, & soul that she did, I was right. Even when I had different girlfriends, I had her in my mind knowing she was better than every one of them. It took more than a decade for me to find that out that she did love me and realize that I must ask for her hand in marriage. I will do anything for her, for us.…
