Introduction to Databases
Organizing Our World
The world generates an enormous amount of data from virtually every imaginable aspect of living -- credit cards, store merchandise, telephone systems, web sites, etc. Years ago this was a manual effort to track and report against this information. Today, computer systems and databases manage this information. Databases simplify our lives.
Think of an address book you might buy in a pharmacy. In it, you will write all your important contacts -- friends, family, relatives, companies, recruiters, and other people in your network. The address book contains all the data you need to contact anyone at any time.
