Database Design Paper “A database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system. In order for a database to be truly functional‚ it must not only store large amounts of records well‚ but be accessed easily. In addition‚ new information and changes should also be fairly easy to input.” (tech-faq.com); to ensure usefulness over the long-term‚ databases should be built with high data integrity and the ability to recover data if the hardware fails.

These tables can be linked together to allow a user
