In the previous lesson we discussed about how a computer programs are made the phases involved in program
development.

LESSON: DATABASES
So far, we have spoken a lot about computers receiving data, manipulating the data, and then turning data into useful
information and how programs are made. But what exactly is data and how does it differ from information? people often
need to sort through a large amount of data rapidly to retrieve one piece of information. To do this quickly and easily, a
database is often used. Databases can be a variety of sizes, from an address book created and used by an individual, to a
company-wide database consisting of customer data used by company employees, to a product database used in
conjunction with an e-commerce site to enable online shoppers to place real-time orders, to a search engine database
consisting of data about billions of Web pages and accessed by individuals around the world. As you go on in this module,
keep this question in mind, in this day and age why do we need databases?

This lesson focuses on databases and the software used to create, maintain, and use them. The lesson opens with a look at
what a database is, the individuals who use databases, and how databases evolved.
Explore: Let’s begin the module by performing the activity below in order to check your prior knowledge
about the lesson.

ACTIVITY 1: Q. U. I. C. K.
INSTRUCTIONS: In the first row write questions you have in mind prior to viewing the video, then watch the video
using the link or QR code below. After watching, answer the following questions. Use the Q. U. I. C. K. viewing guide
template on your LAS found at the end of this module.
Intro to Databases

t.ly/LJV1

What is it?
One of the main functions of a computer is to take unprocessed data (data that is useless to humans) and then turn it into
something that is meaningful and easy to understand for humans. Nowadays we use a database, a structured collection of
data, such as the inventory of a store or a collection of personnel files.

Firm Up: Your goal in this section is to learn and understand the key terms and concepts of database and database
management.

To be effective, data in a DBMS must be initially entered into the database, updated as necessary to stay current, and then
retrieved in the form of information. Consequently, virtually all DBMSs include a user interface for easy data input,
modification, and retrieval. There must also be a way for the database to be backed up and protected against unauthorized
access. In the next activity we will identify the individuals most often involved with creating, using, managing, and
protecting a DBMS.

on the right. Match each term with the description that it most closely matches.
You will not use all descriptions. Each description can be used only once. Write
your answers on your LAS.
1. Database. A. A collection of related fields in a database; also called a row.

5. Record. information to be retrieved as needed; in a relational database, a

E. A type of software program used to create, maintain, and access
databases.

What is it?
The activities above show you the useful key terms to better understand the lesson. It is also important that we distinguish
between data and information. The terms data and information are closely related and in fact are often used
interchangeably.

Deepen: Your goal in this section is to intensify your knowledge and understanding of database and database
management.

LC6: Discuss some basic ACTIVITY 4

concepts and characteristics
of data and some ways
databases are used on the
Web.
Research
INSTRUCTIONS: Read the scenario below and write your opinion on a short page.
There are numerous databases that contain personal, but public, information about
individuals. Today much of this data is available online. How do you feel about your
personal information being contained in databases that other individuals can access or that
might be breached via the Internet? Do you mind that anyone with an Internet connection
might be able to find out how much you paid for your house, if you are married, where

you live, and other personal information?

Web sites designed to allow individuals to upload photos, videos, and other multimedia
content and then visitors can search the site to locate the content they want to view. In
addition, multimedia content is often added to pages located on Facebook and other social
media. While people certainly have the right to share photos and videos of themselves
online if they want to, many individuals upload multimedia content that also includes their
friends or other individuals. Often, photos and videos are taken at social gatherings and
other situations where the person being photographed or filmed may not be portrayed at
their best. Because there are potential ramifications for any compromising content located
online (for instance, many schools monitor social media for inappropriate behavior and
many employers check Facebook profiles of job applicants), should individuals get
permission for everyone in a photo or video before posting it online? Why or why not?
What if the content caused the individual to be reprimanded at school or work, or cost the
individual a scholarship or job? Would that change your opinion? How would you feel if
you ran across a photo or video of yourself online that you did not upload or give
permission to be shared online?

For this project, form and write an opinion about the ethical ramifications of uploading
photos or videos containing others without their permission.

What is it?
Did you know the browsers and web apps like Facebook tracks what you search? Facebook keeps track of your browsing
history. With the track history that it keeps and analyzes, Facebook displays relevant advertisements on your Facebook
timeline. The Internet of Things (IoT) produces massive quantities of data (from databases), The (IOT) is about four big
trends: social, mobile, cloud and big data; by using data and information collected from people and through things like
mobility and sensors and the cloud to make smarter, better decisions or to provide better, quicker service. It helps to
collect and analyze data faster, understand customers, make decisions faster, and provide better service to customers.

1. How can you use a database in your daily lives?
