Do you remember what a database is?
It's a collection of information that is searchable
so you can find the particular piece of information
you are looking for.
Can you remember how to create a database in textease
and search it for the information you need?
Try creating a small database with eight records about the planets in the solar system.
What fields would you have?
This online datastore might give you a clue.
Notice to find information in this datastore all you need to do is select the planet you are looking for from the drop down menu.
This site is well worth exploring for information.
As you use the site think about how you find information on it.
Notice this is information page 1
Notice this is Information Page 3
You can use these two sites to collect the information to go in the fields you have chosen.
You can drag the pictures below for part of your database.
Earth Jupiter Mars Mercury
Saturn Uranus Venus Neptune
Do you think the above two sites are databases?
Have you noticed the two questions I've asked about how you find information on these two sites.
It is also possible to create a Powerpoint Presentation using this information.
But there is a key difference between a Powerpoint Presentation
and a Database, can you think what it is?
