    Study Notes

    Database management is the process of organizing, storing, retrieving, updating, and securing data so it can be used efficiently by applications. Relational databases, which store related information in separate tables with standardized field names and structures, form the basis of most business systems today. Database design involves determining what data needs to be stored, how it will be organized, and where it will come from. Structured Query Language (SQL) is the primary tool used to interact with relational databases; it's also known as the standard language for accessing data within a database system.

    Query optimization helps ensure fast performance when working with large amounts of data by using indexes to quickly find specific records without having to scan the entire table. This improves efficiency because if you have a certain piece of data that changes frequently, rather than scanning through all the records every time, you only need to update the one record that changed. Data normalization means breaking down the tables into smaller manageable pieces, allowing each part to be updated independently while ensuring consistency throughout the database. By following these principles, organizations can effectively create and maintain efficient databases suitable for their particular needs.
