...relational databases in detail. Why do we mostly use relational databases in the industry? A relational database consists of a collection of tables in which each is assigned a unique name. The tables represent both data and the relationship among those data. In each table you find multiple columns and each column has a unique name. A relation is a two-dimensional table in which the following attributes, entries in a table are single-valued; each location contains a single value. Each column has its own distinct name and the values in each column must match the column name. The columns order is immaterial, and each row is distinct with the order of rows is immaterial. Relational databases are used today because of its simplicity, which eases the job of the programmer, compared to earlier data models such as network or the hierarchical model. A relational database can be seen as the data handling part of another application. The application instructs the database to perform searches, as well as add, delete and modify data via the Structured Query Language or SQL. The SQL standard is supported by all major database vendors, but the implementation of the full standard in all cases is not a guarantee. The common workhorse functions are the same in most cases. Databases change over time as information is inserted and deleted. The collection of information stored in the database at a particular moment is called an instance of the database. The overall design of the database is called...

...DATABASE DESIGN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIGNING A FUNCTIONAL PROCESS CIS475 Instructor: IBRAHIM ELHAG, PhD 3/6/2012 DATABASE DESIGN One of the most important if not the most important aspect of a database is the database design process. It is a must that the design is good and functional. A database consists of many different parts of an engineer’s design, which together makes up a complete database system. A database system is designed to manage large bodies of information. Database design is the construction of a database as a subsystem of an information system. Therefore, the database design process is an integral component of the information system design process. ( Chilson and Kudlac, 1983). One of the greatest problems in the application design process is the lack of foresight. During the design process there must be a thorough evaluation of your database, what it should hold, how data relates to each other, and most importantly, whether it is scalable. When it comes to the maintenance of your database it should be easy to maintain, this means storing as limited amount of repetitive data as possible. Let’s say you have a lot of duplicate data, and one instant of that data undergoes a name change, that change has to be made for all occurrences of that data. You can overcome this duplication problem by creating a table of possible values and use a key to refer to the value. That way, if the value changes names, the change occurs only...

...To pursue a master's in business administration Gary M. Newsome MGT/521 August 17, 2010 Stephanie Jackson To pursue a master's in business administration Many people set goals in life with a mindset of accomplishing these goals, and there is no more important goal than achieving a higher degree in education. It always has been my ultimate goal to achieve a master’s in business administration (MBA), but because of the time constraints and long deployments of military service, attending an institution of higher education for an MBA was out of the question. After 30 years of military service and beyond the age of 50, there is no better time to conquer my dreams and achieve my personal goal in obtaining my MBA. This accomplishment will open new a new path toward venturing into another outstanding career. The value of higher education is an important factor for advancement. The opportunity to excel would be the primary reason to achieve this goal while gaining the skills, and knowledge, of management. A position of increased responsibility requires much knowledge to be successful and a company, or business, may fail without these credentials. Mintzberg stated that “managers are important people who are supposed to sit above others, removed and disconnected from the work of making products and selling services. The higher they go, the more important they are, so that on reaching the top, becoming Chief Executive Officer; they are the corporation even if they arrived yesterday...

...Case Questions 1. A decently overseen database may help the healing center accomplish its mission by the following points: * Cost of the each treatment in similar hospital is stored in the database to compare rate with other hospital. * Physicians can gather the relevant information quickly by providing the electronic medical record for each patient. * To find which programs and methods are best, create a historical record of the treatments. * Track the important measure to provide the data and information for example, normal length of patient wait, price for each day for a patient. 3. Hospital should carefully manage some of the cost and risk of using database because in a job market, there is short supply of skills such as database designer and database administrator. Without the specific faculty, it creates a risk to manage the database. The installation and administration expenses include updating software and installing of database and hardware. The translation cost includes the converting cost of older application into database environment. Instead of converting the hospital can choose new system. There is a need for the backup and recovery because the framework expenses are connected with those strategies. A hospital must predict the data administration cost and other activities cost related to data definition, ownership and maintenance. 6. Mountain View Hospital could use web based applications in a few ways. * Internet hospital personnel uses...

Where ever it is possible to for our firm to do so, LTB and Associates will make a recommendation on the choice to make. In order to implement the database properly, these recommendations should be implemented in order to offer the tightest amount of security that will be possible.
