A
database is a collection of data that is organized so that its contents
can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. The most prevalent type of
database is the relational database, a tabular database in which data is
defined so that it can be reorganized and accessed in a number of different
ways. A distributed database is one that can be dispersed or replicated
among different points in a network.
Students will gain an in-depth understanding of databases by designing and creating them using Microsoft Access. Don't even think about taking this class unless you have taken both IFSM 300 and CMIS 102 (C++ or Java). If you like this course, and want more, try IFSM 411 and IFSM 420. As an additional feature, this class should prepare you to take Microsoft® Office User Specialist exam in Microsoft Access 2003. For more details, see the links below. NEWS This
is it!

I
have set up a mailing list for all the students in the class. We
can use this list to discuss class topics, assignments, problems, tips,
etc... I require all the students to sign up for this list.
Note:
You need to use an email address that reflects your name. If I can't
figure out your email, you will get a 0 for the assignment. Honest.
Note: It is best if you cut and paste this information. You are sending email to an automated program, not a person. Follow the directons exactly, and you will be added to the list. You will have to reply to the confirmation message that is sent. Students have reported problems with Hotmail. Gmail is recommended. Remember, everyone can read
all messages sent to the mailing list. Send personal email to |

You
should download and read the lecture notes before class. The lecture
notes are in PDF format, you might have to download a reader
for your machine. Note: You need Version 4.0 or better. You
should visit the websites, and download the programs and run them (many
of them are already installed in the lab.)
Note: Do not
print any of this information in the UMAD computer lab. Also, the
lecture notes may not be complete, and should not serve as a substitute
for attending class.
