Topic: Introduction to Databases Presenter: PATRICK O'CARROLL. m.d., m.p.h., f.a.c.p.m. Objectives:
Introduction: This module will start with looking at the notion of "database" and consider the simple relational database model of tables. One popular way to design a database is through ER diagrams, and we look at a sample diagram. Though it is important to have some basic understanding of the relational schema, in practice most users take advantage of a higher level language for retrieving information from a database with SQL (Structured Query Language) as a common example. Finally, we motivate the use of any popular relational database system to follow-on with this introductory module of databases. |
