“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

A database stores the information so it can be used at a later time so additional information can be added‚ taken away‚ or used as needed. Once in the database the data is compressed so it takes up less space

Using a database management system (DBMS) is a wise decision for any business that plans to implement the use of a database as part of their IT infrastructure. A database management system‚ also referred to as a database manager (Rouse‚ 2005)‚ allows one or many computers to create‚ query‚ and manipulate data in the database (Rouse‚ 2005). The database management system also manages request from users and applications‚ making the database much more user friendly‚ since the users nor the applications

August 4‚ 2009 What is Database Normalization? Database Normalization is a systematic way of ensuring that a database structure is suitable for general – purpose quering and normalization is the process of efficently organizing data in a database. This process was first introduced in 1970 by E.F. Codd and has since been redefined to higher normal forms. The two goals of the normalization process are: eliminating redundant data and ensuring that data dependencies make sense. These goals reduce

They survey residents on numerous community health and well-being measures and then work to connect people with available services. The APNC needed a way to collect these surveys while out in the neighborhood and then synchronize the data back to the SQL Server database. This type of scenario occurs at many businesses

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.

The history began between Relational Databases and SQL. In 1970‚ Edgar F. Codd wrote the now-famous paper on relational data modeling: "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks." The original relational database language‚ developed by IBM‚ was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) to support its prototype RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) called System/R. The name later was changed from SEQUEL to Structured Query Language. In the beginning Codd started out a
