What is a Database? |
|
|
|
In order to understand
databases, it's necessary to
understand 4 key terms. |
|
|
|
1.
DATA
|
|
 |
A Necessity for any
organization to carry
out its business. Raw
Facts that when
organized properly can
be transformed into
valuable information. |
|
|
|
|
2.
DATABASE
|
|
3.
RELATIONSHIPS
|
|
 |
Relationships are
correlations that exist
between Data in the
database. 1 Company
might be related to 30
employees. In this case,
you might create a
Company record once
followed by 30 employee
records. Rather than
having to re-type the
company name, the
Company can easily be
selected from a drop
down list in the
employee form.

4. DBMS |
|
 |
DBMS stands for Database
Management System. As
the name implies, a DBMS
is a collection of tools
or software which allows
people to develop,
maintain, deploy, manage
and support databases. |
