INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-WEEK 11

This is the last week of my learning journal. I have learned about Database. A database is a collection of data which has been organized so that a computer program can quickly select desired items.









I also have learned about Database Management System (DBMS). It is a software tool to manage incoming data, organize it, and provide ways for the data to be modified or extracted by users.



The DBMS performs the following five primary functions:

  • Define, create and organize a database
  • Input data
  • Process data
  • Maintain data integrity and security
  • Query database
In addition, i have known some examples of database, such as: Microsoft Access, Oracle, IBM DB2, SQL Server, MySQL,...

On the other hand, I have learned about Database system.The DBMS software together with the Database is called a database system. It can be defined as an organization of components that define and regulate the collection, storage, management and use of data in a database. It is a system whose overall purpose is to record and maintain information.

According to what I have known, there are 4 types of Database Model:
  • Hierarchical database
  • Network database
  • Relational database
  • Object-relational database





Last but not least, I have done an activity in class about Microsoft Access. Here is my work:












That's all for my blog in this semester. Thanks for your visiting!
