Week 6 Module

Welcome to Week 6

In this module, we will cover database management, and why it is so critical to the operations of a business. A database is like a filing cabinet. It helps organize all of your important information that you need in a digital format. Instead of manually looking at possibly hundreds or thousands of paper files, a database management system allows you to find the information that you are looking for at the stoke of the keyboard and in seconds.

Interesting fact: Imagine working at a shoe store and a customer approaches you and wants the latest Nike Air Max. The stockroom has thousands of shoes piled 12 feet high. Imagine the time that it would take to go through all of the shoes to find the size and type of shoe that the customer wants. With a database system, you do not have to. Stay tuned to find out how database systems work.
