"Hi Every one!
Today, as our first lesson, we will discuss about Traditional File Based Systems, its limitation which becomes a reason for the raise of database.
So, what is a database? Well, it's like an organized collection of data that is logically related. But here's the thing: data by itself isn't very useful. It needs to go through some processing, summarizing, and organizing to become valuable for decision makers and knowledge workers like yourself.
In this case, can we say, databases are all about facilitating communication and providing meaningful insights. They enable decision makers and knowledge workers to access and understand data in a way that supports better decision-making and enhances our overall knowledge.
Hope that helps to give you a glimpse of what this capture about and you are required to complete the assigned task to gain more insights.
