34.1 Introduction to Database<\/h3>\n

In our daily life, we deal with various data such as names, addresses, money, date, stock quotes, statistics and more. If you are in business or working as a professional, you have to handle even more data. For example, a doctor needs to keep track of patients\u2019 personal and medical information such as names, addresses, phone numbers as well as blood pressure readings, blood sugar readings, surgical history, medicines prescribed in the past and more. On the other hand, businesses usually have to manage a large amount of data pertaining to products and customers. All these data need to be organized into a database for the ease of data management.<\/p>\n

In the past, people usually deal with data manually like using cards and folders. However, in present-day digital age, it is no longer feasible to manage data manually. Most data are now managed using computer-based database management systems. Computer-based Database management systems can handle data much faster and more efficient than human beings do. With the advent of the network and the Internet technologies, data can now be managed locally and remotely.Companies usually invest heavily in database management systems in order to run the organizations efficiently and effectively.
