Gatorade Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Going into my last like 7 or so classes and two of them are a project course inwhich I was thinking about taking Data Basing. I have no idea what Data Basing is / what its about / anything what its like out in the field. If you have any personal experience I would appreciate hearing what you have to say. (the courses are focused on coding usually) Edited October 29, 2016 by Sugarfoot Link to comment
Churu Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I don't have any experience about databases but i know my web dev course includes data bases, Basically a data base is a server of sort that stores different kinds of information. You can store anything inside a database, a example is the login to a website, when you write in the username and password they are both sent to the database to check if the information is correct then the answer is sent back to you. I can tell you tho if you have no experience coding anything out there its not wise to start working on a database unless you have the time to learn everything about them.

Bikstok Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Databases are used for persistence. Meaning that data is saved between sessions. If you are studying Computer Science you most definitely need to know about building databases. I imagine you will probably learn about relational databases and normalization. If you want to be a programmer, you should take the class! Edited October 29, 2016 by Bikstok Gatorade, BioHazard and Valerios like this Link to comment
Heidelberg Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I know that SQL is about databases. Gatorade likes this Link to comment
Budbringer Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I remember when I learned SQL at school, we used this site a lot in the beginning to learn sql statements. Good site to learn the basic statements. http://sqlzoo.net/ Sijanec and Gatorade like this Link to comment
LiamS3 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Really depends on your education system and field. If you are a component programmer, databases aren't exactly a crazy idea that you need to sit down and learn specifically. Link to comment

Thats all I was really looking for, was maybe a language to brush up on or so Link to comment

(the courses are focused on coding usually) Depending on the language you are using you can do different things. You just have to research what is available. Way back when I used SQLite because the database consists of only a single file, great for small projects. It is also just hosted locally on your own computer. Unless you plan on requiring security or plan on writing a lot of data it is really an excellent option. You may be able to find a couple of plugins for web browsers that will assist you. The library for most languages is either embedded or can be found via a quick google search. Just do some research around and find whats right for you. Gatorade likes this Link to comment
