Why do you need to learn about databases?
most organizations store data in databases
- Since the 1970s, governments and businesses have realized that there are naturally inconsistencies in the way they store data
- They’ve chosen enterprise-wide database management systems to solve this problem
- Most of these enterprise-wide systems are based on SQL (Structured Query Language) and relational databases
- They are mostly client-server systems so that many people can access the same database at the same time
you will need data that is already in databases in the workplace
- Most of the data about customers, employees, products, and sales that organizations collect is stored in databases
- Even if you work in a non-profit organization, they will have information about services in databases
- The most common way to get data from a database is to write SQL queries
- It used to be the province of specialists
- Now, with LLMs (large language models), it is becoming more accessible to everyone
you may need to create databases in the workplace
- Your activities are very likely to generate data that you will want to store in databases
- You may need to create databases for projects or to support applications
- You may need to create databases for data analysis or reporting
- You may need to create databases to support web applications or mobile applications
- You may need to create databases to support data science projects or machine learning projects or data warehousing projects or data integration projects or data migration projects
