are an essential aspect of modern life. A database is a collection of information related to a
particular subject which is processed. According to Li, Moselhi, and Alkass (2006), a database
provides a platform to organise, store and retrieve the planned and actual set of information in a
logical and efficient manner. A database is not considered to be useful if it is just used to store
data as data could even be stored in simpler computerized word documents. This is where the
power of databases comes into effect. A database is not only used to store data, instead the main
reason as to why databases are used is to retrieve data. The database management system (DBMS)
queries data which are stored in the database using structured query language (SQL) and generates
reports on the needs of the user. For instance, if a University wants to find out the number of
students who are left to do only two or three units of a particular course before they can get
qualified to obtain a degree, a person with proper knowledge of databases can run a query which
will look through the students’ record and present the required information to satisfy the
information needs of the University.
Nowadays, it is recognisable that databases and the web are highly compatible. The web, also
known as the World Wide Web, is the largest...
