Databases

Databases are an industry standard technology for storing and manipulating data used in applications. For example, storing details about clients, contact details, and transaction details would be impractical if one were to use text files. This is especially true for storing large amounts of data. Databases provide a standard mechanism for storing, retrieving and performing calculations on data. In this module, we will learn more about relational database systems, and the use of these database systems in coding projects.
