  10. One of the things students and users should understand is that the structures that we think of as tables, etc., are actually implemented by the DBMS. The data itself is actually stored more or less randomly. Maintaining the raw data in some structured format would be onerous and VERY slow.

  12. Cam someone enligthen me please? On minute 2 of the video the Dr talks about some purposes of a database but I didn't get the parte that he says "To provide the mechanism for querying, creating, modifying and deleting data (CRUD)". My question is: Isn't it provided by the DBMS?

  16. If you feel that your business is a bit disorganised with some unnecessary complicated procedures and delays in actions, this small 28 pages book could give you a very useful idea how to change it. An idea is very simple and it uses the system thinking approach. It is based on the “World Triangle” philosophy, which suggests that entire world consists of three basic entities such as objects, events and data. So is your business as well. All you have to do is to recognise that and fill your business database with these entities and their relationships. Once recognised, you have to give them number and name. This short book shows you how to do that. That is a first and essential step. If you do it in a wrong way you will have to carry on that mistake and in that way generated ambiguity through the entire life of your business. So a little time spent on reading this book might save you a lot of money, improve your business operations, eliminate unnecessary procedures, eliminate a lot of waste currently you have in your business and put a smile to your face. So act now and you will not regret.

  24. Hi, I've just watch the video, great, because I'm interested in attending a course at work on ECDL advanced Database. I was wondering, if I watch all the videos, will there be an lessons that might differ from the ECDL lessons? Thanks. Joe

  26. I am adding your link to my schools chat board for Data Management Foundations. The quality of your work really just puts my class resources to complete embarrassing shame. UGG I have Network Security Foundations and Information Systems. If only I had you for those classes:). Fantastic teaching. I will be a forever subscriber! Thank you so much!

  29. Dr. Soper,
    Let me thank you so much. English is a second language for me and I appreciate you taking time to speak clearly and articulate your words. It makes it so easy for me to follow up. Thank you for such a great learning material. Thumbs up and Hat off!
    Merci beaucoup!

  35. That was not only exhilarating , but, thought – provoking, and inspiring,straight to the point. The video's where long but, clear spoken,and at a very moderate pace. I only watch three, but they were well worth it. Thank's!
