Database Design and Implementation

Databases (DB) are poorly understood by most people but in simple terms it is considered to be a collection of connected data stored on a computer (Connolly, et al., 2008).

Nowadays every aspect of society if affected by databases, schools use DB to store students information, libraries store information of available books, hospitals hold patient details (Harrington, 2009)

 

However, vast amounts of such data are hard to search through so that is where database management software (DBMS) becomes essential. To be effective DBMS has to have a facility that stores the data and such facility must provide some way to enter, delete, modify, retrieve or restrict access to the information stored. (Harrington, 2009)

As demand for information greatly escalates (Ponniah, 2003) so does the need of databases.
