CSUMB Week 16 (30 April 2025 - 6 May 2025)

 Relational database tables and spreadsheets look similar with both having rows and columns.  What are some important differences between the two?

    From what I understand, tables from relational database managers allow us to manage relationship between tables a lot easier than it would have been when just limiting ourselves to spreadsheets. For spreadsheets, takes a lot of manual intensive effort to maintain data integrity.

Installing and configuration a database and learning how to use it is more complicated than just reading and writing data to a file.  What are some important reasons that makes a database a useful investment of time? 

    Well personally for me I feel like the query and constraint system alone makes it incredibly worthwhile to learn SQL since it makes managing database incredibly simple. It is much easier to maintain data integrity. 

What do you want to learn in this course that you think will be useful in your future career? 

- Becoming more familiar with the "tips and tricks" of relational database managers such as MySQL workbench.

- Learning how to implement SQL to manage database within personal projects.

- Learning how to develop a more mature database system.
