Module 2: What is a Database?

Databases are:

  • Searchable collections of information.

    • You already use them when you search for music on Spotify, for friends on Facebook, and for books on Amazon.

       

  • While databases may look different, most rely on similar methods of searching

    • Once you have mastered one, it's much easier to learn how to search others.
