Week 10 - Muddy

This week was a little bit harder for me I do not know much about databases when it come to this kind of stuff I usually just use excel. There seems to be a lot more information that is needed to know in DBMS how ever. There was a lot more different terminology then normal.

Learning about all the different types of information you need to put into a database was amazing, as well as knowing the difference from information and data where data is unprocessed items that you just put into your computer such as writing, pictures, and videos where as information is processed data that actually is important to you and others. as well it was interesting learning about how different everything is labeled in DBMS compared to programs such as excel where characters are the smallest part and consist of numbers, letters, spaces, or symbols then next is a field which is a combination of one or more characters, next is the record which is a group of related fields and the primary key is the field that uniquely identifies each record in a field. Last is the data file which is a collection of related records stored on a storage medium such as a hard disk or optical disk.

Over all this week was a lot harder then I thought it was going to be and a lot more information as well I will defiantly have to do some more reviewing of this chapter next week as well.
