What Computerised Database Systems Management covers

Every system that stores records needs a well-designed, well-kept database, so Software Development Level 6 teaches Computerised Database Systems Management. The first outcome designs a database through approaches, tools, normalisation and entity relationship diagrams. The second creates it, with software selection, environment set-up, objects, attributes, relationships, safe working practices and e-waste handling. The third inserts, retrieves, modifies and deletes data following business rules, using SQL. Database security and its documentation come fourth, with auditing and user training, and the last outcome schedules maintenance and reports on performance.
