Information is understood by a person. Data are values stored on a passive medium like a computer disk. The purpose of a database management system (DBMS) is to bridge the gap between information and data - the data stored in memory or on disk

The Fundamentals of Database Design To end up with a good ‘relational database’ application‚ you need to ask: Do I actually need one? If so‚ how far do you want to take it? By this I mean‚ is this to be a simple database to store information about only one‚ or very few‚ related entities (i.e. a list of people who attended a certain event‚ and how they came to hear about the event) which are not likely to change; or a permanent and well used application with several different entities (i.e. Staff

There are four different types of database-system users‚ differentiated by the way they expect to interact with the system. Different types of user interfaces have been designed for the different types of users. Naive users are unsophisticated users who interact with the system by invoking one of the application programs that have been written previously. For example‚ a bank teller who needs to transfer $50 from account A to account B invokes a program called transfer. This program asks the

“A database is a tool for collecting and organizing information ("Database Basics"‚ 2012).” This is the simplest definition of a database. A database can take many different forms‚ it can be an address book‚ a box of recipes‚ even a collection of business cards. For the purposes of this paper I will be referring to a database as the electronic version found on a computer‚ such as Microsoft Access. A database is made up of a collection of tables. These tables can be linked together to allow a user

What data is important? According to Module 5 Slides‚ DMIS stands for Database Management Information system. This system is a mechanism for entering data into data bases‚ used for accessing data from multiple databases‚ and makes all content of these databases practical. This type of system helps with decision making because it allows for the administrator to access all school information‚ examine educational trends‚ the school demographics‚ and teaching quality. For instance‚ the data could help

years‚ a number of web servers have been written. Apache is one of the oldest‚ most widely used web servers in use today .It was implemented with a scaling mechanism that works‚ but is relatively inefficient in some ways. Since that time some newer web servers have come out that attempt to address some of the shortcomings of Apache. The most prominent among those are Sun‚ Nginx and Google. This web servers are examine the relative performance of each web server to see how they compare head-to-head. There
