Concept 1
Purpose: organized data storage, querying, and avoiding redundancy
Purpose: organized data storage, querying, and avoiding redundancy. A database is an organized collection of data designed to efficiently store, retrieve, and manage information. The DBMS (Database Management System) is software that handles databases (MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB). In a relational database, data is organized into tables: - Columns (fields): Attributes like "Name", "Price", "Date" - Rows (records): Single entries with values for each column - Primary key: Special column that uniquely identifies each row (CustomerID, OrderID). No duplicates. - Foreign key: Column referencing another table's primary key, establishing relationships.
