DATABASES
                              A database is a collection of data or
                              information which is held together
                              in an organized or logical way?


In order to find the right web sites for you, Search engines need a
vast computerized database which they search using your entered
keywords.

School use information systems to do registers and keep records
on students. These contain a database with records for every
student in the school. The database records student's attendance
at school as well as information which may be needed by the
school e.g. medical records or test scores.
DATABASES
Databases are used by organizations such as governments,
hospitals, utility companies and clubs as these databases
allow for the storing, retrieving, editing and manipulating of
large numbers of records.

Libraries store details of all their
books, in a database. When you
want to know if a book is in stock,
you can not only look it up, but you
can also check when it is due to be
returned. The database also
records details of all the borrowers,
what books they currently have
borrowed and when they are due
back
Tables

The table allows you to see all of the records stored in the
database. Tables can store many records, from a few dozen for a
small database up to millions for a large company database
Each table contains a lot of records.
Records
DEFINITION: A record is all of the data or information about
one person or one thing.
In the table below, all of the information about each cartoon
character is stored in a 'row' or 'record'.

A record is made up of lots of individual pieces of information.
Look at Wonder Woman's record: it stores her first name, last
name, address, city and age.
Fields

DEFINITION: a 'field' is one piece
of data or information about a
person or thing.

The data type describes what data
can be stored in the field e.g. Text,
numbers, dates or Boolean
(which means yes or no answers)
.
When you set up a database, you
need to think about the 'data
type' for each field.
Key Field



Every record needs a identifier called the primary
or key Field this is the field that contains a value
which is unique to that record. For example we
cannot use a name a key field for a student as there
may be more that one student with the same name.
So we use a Student ID or reference number.
CODING

DEFINITION: CODING is the conversion of information
into shorter values for the purpose of data storage,
management, and analysis. E.G. the sex of the
respondent may be coded "f” for a female and "m" for
a male. This makes the information easier to enter, it
reduces the chances of information being entered
incorrectly and save time and space when enter
information into a database.
