Chapter 1 Database Systems1Chapter 1Database SystemsDiscussion FocusHow often have your students heard that “you have only one chance to make a good first impression?”That’s why it’s so important to sell the importance of databases and the desirability of good databasedesign during the first class session.Start by showingyourstudents that they interact with databases on a daily basis. For example, howmany of them have bought anything using a credit card during the past day, week, month, or year? Noneof those transactions would be possible without a database. How many have shipped a document or apackage via an overnight service or via certified or registered mail? How many have checked coursecatalogs and class schedules online? And surely all of your students registered for your class? Didanybody use a web search engine to look for–and find–information about almost anything? This pointis easy to make: Databases are important because we depend on their existence to perform countlesstransactions and toprovide information.If you are teaching in a classroom equipped with computers, give some “live” performances. Forexample, you can use the web to look up a few insurance quotes or compare car prices and models.Incidentally, this is a good place to make the very important distinction between data and information. Inshort, spend some time discussing the points made in Section 1.1,"Why Databases?" and Section 1.2“Data vs. Information.”After demonstrating that modern daily life is almost inconceivable without the ever-present databases,discuss how important it is that the (database) transactions are made successfully, accurately, andquickly. That part of the discussion points to the importance of database design, which is at the heart ofthis book. If you want to have the keys to the information kingdom, you’ll want to know about databasedesign and implementation. And, of course, databases don’t manage themselves … and that point leadsto the importance of the database administration (DBA) function. There is a world of exciting databaseemployment opportunities out there.After discussing why databases, database design, and database administration are important, you canmove through the remainder of the chapter to develop the necessary vocabularyand concepts. Thereview questions help you do that … and the problems provide the chance to test the newfoundknowledge.
