Data Management and Databases

Start with the main concepts

The Data Management mind map introduces learning objectives about managing a business’s data resources and the advantages of database management. It is a useful starting point if you want an overview before working through questions. The mind map on data and databases also places data alongside hardware and software in the context of information systems.

As you study, note the terms and ideas you want to check. The page brings together resources made by GoConqr users, so you can choose the format that suits the concept you are studying.

Build your vocabulary

The Chapter 4 Key Terms flashcards include attributes, data dictionaries, databases, database administrators and database management systems. They also include enterprise systems and foreign keys. The Bus 342 Chapter 6 Key Terms and ACC Info Management Systems decks cover many of the same terms, giving you other sets to explore.

For a different selection of vocabulary, Chapter 14 Key Words includes data lakes, data marts, data mining and data warehouses. You can move between a flashcard deck and a mind map to connect individual terms with the broader ideas shown on the page.

Use quizzes and maps together

The quiz on databases and information systems asks about database classification, database management system advantages, and the difference between data and information. Another quiz asks about database rows and columns and when a database is used instead of a spreadsheet. Try a question, then return to a relevant map or flashcard deck to review the terms involved.

The Chapter 6 mind map covers relational databases and enterprise systems, including advantages such as flexibility, scalability and reduced information redundancy. It offers a way to connect this topic with the wider unit in Databases and data science. Choose a map and a quiz to study alongside each other.
