...course we begin to think about how what we have learned the previous week can apply to our personal and professional lives. We begin to think of ways we use these tools in our daily lives and how we can apply them in the future since we have learned about them. In week two of this class, we began to understand how databases are used in the world. The databases range on use and size but are used by millions without the realization of them. Many of us use them in our workplace and never gave a second thought to how life would be more difficult without them. The databases used in a work environment can hold the information inputted into them for a very long time. This allows us to go back and use the information with a stroke of the keys and click of the mouse. Without the databases that are utilized we would have to hope the hard copy of this information is filed correctly and easy to access. The databases can be used in our personal lives through organizing personal information. For example, keeping a record of one’s family genealogy could be contained in a database that many members of the family can access and add information to. A budget can be maintained in database to allow the information to be maintained and updated daily, allowing the family to stay on top of the finances without tons of paper work. We also examined how social networking can be relevant in the workplace. Each person has a different view of whether it is a positive or negative tool. It comes down to maintaining...

...QUESTION YOUR ANSWER (MAX 300 WORDS TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION) MARKS 1. Describe how knowledge about online resources or database searching will help in your future studies and career? To begin with, online resources or data base searching has been a tremendous and effective contributing factor towards the fast and easy researching method my colleagues, myself and other learning colleagues are using widely in the twenty-first century. Fortunately, online resources have created essential communication skills between me and my colleagues, tutors and other acquaintances around the universe. This method has enabled me interact via online through discussing and exchanging learning information. However, the effect has not only made it easy for the general public and myself to access accurate and non-accurate information, but has also contributed in developing and improving social development/network. Most importantly, it has given me the privilege to search more than one database to enable obtaining a successful research project. Furthermore, the aspect of locating the right source is an enormous issue. Example is researching using Google and Google scholar. The difference is that, Google scholar is peer-reviewed but Google is not. Based on this evidence, not all information is academically evaluated or peer-reviewed before it is made public on the internet. Database searching enable me learn different techniques in acquiring successful research. Examples are: I get the privilege to...

...1. RAS server provides the most secure method for remote access to the network if it is reburied. 2. Never allow client computers on the network to answer remote access connections. 3. Organize all remote access servers in a centrally controlled location. 4. Servers have no need to originate dial-out connections (Except when using telephone lines as low cost WAN connections, but these connections should be relatively permanent). 5. To simplify security administration, allow only one method of remote access into the network. 6. Remote access control procedures must provide adequate safeguards through robust identification, authentication and encryption techniques. 7. Carefully consider the wisdom of providing cellular telephones and modems for use with laptop computers. This technology isn’t usually justified considering the relatively modest increase in productivity compared to the cost and the security risk of a lost laptop. 8. Consider using only the NetBEUI protocol for remote access to limit the extent of intrusions on the network. 9. Control the distribution of remote access software on the network. Never allow client computers to run remote control software. If remote control software is necessary, run the software from centrally controlled computers or thin-client servers. 10. Disable dial-in networking, except in the cases of trusted individuals or to special computers,because dial-in networking can bypass regular network security. ...

...Database Dictionary.com defines database as “a systematically arranged collection of computer data, structured so that it can be automatically retrieved or manipulated”. In today’s business, organizations run on data that have been processed into information and knowledge. That information is used by managers to apply to business problems and opportunities. Furthermore the data is transformed into knowledge and solutions in many different ways after detail analysis. Because data and information are processed in several stages and often in several places, they are frequently subject to problems and difficulties. Managing data in organizations is difficult for many reasons, so organizations in the effort to manage all of the data, developed databases to organize all of the collection. These databases are managed using database management systems, and by utilizing different applications. In our organization, we do have a database that we use for our data collection and analysis and storage of all the data we collect. We also use several applications in the daily operations of our business which I will explain further in this paper. Our organization is currently using several applications to make our processes more precise, effective and efficient. Currently, our organization is using a Sybase SQL database as the main database for all of our business functions. This database delivers extreme transaction processing and access to mission critical information...

A company may be small or extremely large but they all share one thing in common, if they make any type of product, sell anything, keep contacts, balance the books, pretty much anything a business can any will do, they need some type of database or multiple databases to store and later retrieve the data a typical business generates. Choosing the right database is even more important in the age of the Internet, products and services can be sold around the world now and the data from shopping carts and other payment and shipping needs a database too. This article will go into a bit more detail on some of the types of databases that are available and how to pick the right one for your company. Open Source vs. Proprietary This is the big question on a lot of businesses minds these days. Rather to try and cut costs by integrating an Open Source database or a proprietary one. First off let us go over what open source means. Open source software, in this case a database, is software that generally has a limited license for free using. The software is developed and maintained by developers and coders around the world that continuously work at improving the software but providing security upgrades and bug fixes. Proprietary software on the other hand is generally developed, upgraded and patched by a company that sells or licenses the software...
