Week 11

During this week, I leant everything about database, its function, its components and how it uses by the user. A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. Database is not a new thing, it is one of the things that we always listen, look and use in Microsoft office, and it is Microsoft access. Database can be classified according to many types of content such bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images. In computing, databases are sometimes classified according to their organizational approach. The most prevalent approach is the relational database in which data is defined so that it can be reorganized and accessed in a number of different ways. A distributed database is one that can be dispersed or replicated among different points in a network. An object-oriented programming database is one that is congruent with the data defined in object classes and subclasses. After this I learn on database management system. A database management system (DBMS), sometimes just called a database manager, is a program that lets one or more computer users create and access data in a database. By this week, I also learn on the database component. There is some component that we will be face during doing a work in data base. The components are tables, queries, forms, reports and soon. Each component has its own function in the database.
