nowhere else in the database. Another example is do not use multiple fields in a single table to store similar data. For example‚ to track an inventory item that may come from two possible sources‚ an inventory record may contain fields for Vendor Code 1 and Vendor Code 2. Optimal database design recognizes proper organization of table structures and relationships. Suggest at least two methods that can be used to improve the design of a database system. If we are going to develop Database‚ we might

Hydrogen is the strongest candidate for the fuel of the future. Hydrogen can be used for transportation more efficiently‚ safely‚ and effectively. Also they are environmentally friendly. Since hydrogen is not a fundamental fuel‚ using hydrogen as energy source is a difficult subject. Hydrogen is a magnificent fuel because only water is

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSPORTATION Trains of the Future This new state-of-the-art train is operated by magnetic levitation technology. The train is similar to a Disney World monorail with one big difference: it can travel at speeds approaching 300 miles per hour and makes almost no sound. Instead of traveling along rails‚ this train sits atop a magnetic field‚ thereby eliminating the effects of friction and making higher speeds possible. At these speeds‚ the magnetic levitation train will

but no two are the same. Each job has individual and specialized tasks‚ but this paper will only talk about two; architects and transportation engineers. All engineers essentially do the same thing‚ but each one is special. Architects and transportation engineers each design and build structures. Architects build structures for people to live and work in while transportation engineers build and design ways to get from one place to another. The first architects were the Ancient Egyptians who built the
