D1: Why? Welcome to the "Database Managemenmt Systems" class ! Please post a message to introduce yourself. Tell us why you want to take this class? and DISCUSS why we should store data in a database rather than in files? Discussions in our coures are student-led, I'll only be an observer. Take your lead ! D2: Models Which database model is the best in your opinion ? Why ? If you had to use a database model to store ALL information you have had since you were born, up until now (emails, documents, pictures, videos, books you own, etc.), Which database model would you choose ? D3: SQL & Big Data Imagine that, one day, a man in a very fancy suit and shinning shoes (i.e. from Wall Street) walks into your house and says that he has BIG DATA and that he is a also a big fan of SQL. He asks if you could work for him helping to store and manage all of those data using SQL. What would you tell him ? D4: Security Is it fair to say that SQL is the biggest threat to computer systems ? D5: XML Why XML has become more and more popular with databases ? In our projects we used MySQL as our DBMS. Can we use XML instead ? Can we use both XML and MySQL together ?
