INITIAL IDEA 2

Database Design 


    A database is an organized collection of structure information, or data that are electronically stored in the computer system which is controlled by the DBMS (database management system). Database management system are software systems used to store, retrieve, and run queries on data.
All database system stores data using file, records and fields (Graham, Brian, and David. (2010)  information and communication technology. 2nd ed. London. Hodder education):
  • FIELD: A file is a single item of data, such as forename or date of birth which has a field name that is used to identify it within a database.
  • RECORDS: A record is a collection of fields, for example all the information about one person or item
  • FILE: A file is an organised  collection records, usually where all the records are organised so that they can be stored together.
In addition, according to Graham, Brian, and David.  information and communication technology. 2nd ed. London. page 268, database consist of two main types: Flat-file database and Relational database.
A flat-file database sorts its data in a table which is organised in columns and rows. Each column in the table contains a field, which has been given a field name, and each cell in the column has the same.
A relational database are designs so that the same data is not duplicated in a table. Each table within a relational database will have a field key.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of database designs?  database designs are known to make the storage of data less complex and easy to access. Data protection is very essential, only authorized user should be able to access various type of data, database design ensures the safety of data from unauthorized user under any circumstance, they also ensure the backup and recovery of data (Admin, 2022).
The disadvantages of database design include the financial cost required to support hardware and equipment to operate the database program, they also require frequent hardware update which can be very costly to acquire and need new educational guide to handle functionality properly (Admin, 2022).

QUESTIONNAIRE ANALYSIS RESEARCH

  This post would analyse a questionnaire on software. this research is to determine whether the public has knowledge about software applications and also helps determine the scope of the amount of people how uses software application to carry out daily tasks. This chart consist of the scale of gender that took apart in the questionnaire research i did, as u can see there is a large amount of male which has percentage of 81.8%, followed by the female which as the same amount of percentage as the neutral gender, they both have a percentage of 9.1%. This chart is used to determine the age range of the participant who took the questionnaire. furthermore the chart shows that there were more adult than teenagers who took the questionnaire. i find this as a big advantage because the results would consist of more accurate data.   Level of education is an important factor in this research because the research is directed to schools and university and how software is involved in their ...
