Aim and purpose
To give learners an understanding of database systems as well as the practical skills to translate that understanding into the design and creation of databases.
Unit introduction
Database software is one of the most commonly used application packages in business. Therefore, it is important that all IT users have a working knowledge of this type of software and an understanding of the
advantages and disadvantages so that they can identify appropriate situations in which to use a computerised database.
Learners will gain an understanding of the basic principles of database design and the structures and terminologies associated with databases as well as developing useful practical skills such as creating single table databases with associated forms, queries and reports. Databases deal with structured information that can be broken down into lots of similar records, each having the same fields.
