Databases

1. Information Rich & Poor

   • Rich
     • Access to the World Wide Web
   • Poor
     • DONT HAVE access to the Web and probably find it difficult to access relevant books and journals.

2. How is a Database organised?

   • Three key terms
     • • The whole set of data in a database is called the file
     • • The set of information on one single subject (for example, one pupil in your school) is called a record
     • • Each separate heading of information inside a record (for example, your date of birth) is called a field
