Students will learn the basics of solid relational database design using MySQL, the most popular open source database software. Solid design results in an efficient and powerful means of not only storing, but also retrieving information. It prevents errors, reduces duplicate information and speeds up finding specific information. Databases may hold billions of records, serving as the backbone of corporations or organize your personal recipes. During this course, students will develop an address book MySQL database. Students will be given access to PHPAdmin accounts to administer their databases. PHP will not be covered in this course, PHP skills are not required to use this popular tool to administer MySQL. Note: This is designed to be an introductory course. Subsequent courses will enable students to harness more of the power of relational databases and utilizing PHP to administer your database.
