Databases

Do you know the capital of Morocco? Do you know which country in Africa has the largest population?

This unit is about how information is stored in a database. You will learn about records and fields, different types of field (including a BLOB!) and how to find information by sorting and searching. You can also find out about data protection of personal information.

It is important to understand how to structure a database before you try to create one yourself. Otherwise you will put data in, but you might not be able to get useful information out.
