Introduction to Databases
What is a database? A database is a collection of data structured and organized in a disciplined fashion so that it is possible to access information of interest as quickly as possible. (Newton, 193)
In residential sales at TDS Metrocom, the database that is used almost exclusively is Microsoft Access. We use access to track incoming e-mails, keep track of individual and team performance statistics, inbound call volume, and we use Access to provision a customers order for Internet service to coincide with the provisioning of their phone service.
In using Access to track all incoming e-mail from customers to us we have two databases, in the first database I enter the date the e-mail came in, the hour the e-mail(s) came in from a drop down menu and enter the number of e-mail(s) that came in during that hour. This database is used every three months to track e-mail volume by day of week and by hour. With this data, I am able to see e-mail volume by hour. What this allows me to do is monitor system problems with either our website and/or our corporate firewall. As an example, I was seeing “dead time” in the company e-mail box, meaning that during a certain time of day we received no e-mail, as TDS receives e-mail at every hour of the day I knew something was wrong. The IT department said that no e-mail was being sent to us. With the data that I had stored in this database, I was able to convince the IT department to look into the matter. It was discover...
“Get off your phone.” “I’m taking that laptop away.” Many children have dealt with their parents barging into their rooms and telling them to get off their electronics. Parents believe it is not healthy and therefore should be restricted. The two articles, “Blame Society, Not the Screen Time” by Dana Boyd and “Don’t Limit Your Teen’s Screen Time” by Chris Bergman, both talk about how parents should not limit their kid’s screen time. Both authors are writing to parents of children who they think spend way too much time on their electronics. However, Dana Boyd has a much better compelling argument for not restricting teenager’s screen time. Boyd has a much better appeal to both audiences. She manages to employ better uses of both pathos and logos
The Judicial Branch was written to have very little power, it originally had a federal court and then had to be divided into lower. The President is in charge of appointing the justices, and all of the decision from congress and the executive branch have to go through the judicial branch in order for them to decide if it constitutional or unconstitutional.
Overall, in my opinion, this film portrayal the fantastic story of his beloved dad and the Colorado River. Also the lesson that he learned from his dad about the important place. It is a good short documentary film with the sums up his superb visual content and masterful personalities. Although, this film is what truly meets distinct atmosphere in its cinematography. I recommend watching The Important Place with your love once. Under these conditions, I bet you will like this
The purpose with this paper is to study and compare two different directors, and to compare and contrast the two different works. How are they working with their movies and how do they use mise-en-scene? By studying two different directors that uses different techniques when making movies, we are going to find out how important mise en scene really is, and how it affects the movie.
Before each of these conventions is defined and analysed the process of making a Classical Hollywood film must first be described; it begins with either the completion of a script or the hiring of a scr...

System performance is one of the most critical issues faced by companies dealing with vast amounts of data. Companies use database systems and their applications to store, retrieve and handle this data.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well, what about happiness? Some would say that happiness is simply apart of life, while others feel it is something that one should chase. Nevertheless, in 1981 Chris Gardner a salesman from San Francisco, California in the award winning movie The Pursuit of Happiness had big dreams for his family but things did not turn out the way he intended.

Since the movie came out in 2006, “ The Pursuit of Happyness” has been one of my favorite movies. A non-fiction movie based on a true story, of a man called Chris Gardner and his son Christopher Gardner Jr. Both these roles are played by the famous actors Will Smith, and his real life son Jaden Smith. In this very inspirational movie, directed by Gabriele Muccino, Will smith plays out Chris Gardner when he was struggling to start as a stockbroker while being a father in need of money. This movie takes place at San Francisco in 1981, and has always meant a great deal to me. Inspiring me to always work my hardest in order to be successful in life. On this movie that is the message it holds, to inspire people to dream big, and to not let anyone
A database is a structured collection of data. Data refers to the characteristics of people, things, and events. Oracle stores each data item in its own field. For example, a person's first name, date of birth, and their postal code are each stored in separate fields. The name of a field usually reflects...

The Database Management System (DBMS) is software that enables the users to define, create, maintain and control the access to the database. It is a software that interact with the user’s applications programs and it database. Meanwhile, information retrieval system is a system that involved the activity that the systems obtain the information. The obtaining information action need the information from it resources.
A data dictionary is a place where the DBMS stores definitions of the data elements and their metadata. All programs that access the data in the database will work through the DBMS. It uses the data dictionary to look up the required data component structures and relationships, thus the users do not have to code such complex relationships in each program. In addition, any changes made in database structure will be automatically recorded in the data dictionary, thereby freeing the users from having to modify all the programs that access the changed structure.
