What to ExpectLearning the concepts

of AIS “Teachers open the

door. You enter by yourself” (old Chinese proverb)

Applying the concepts (Group Case) “What we have to

learn to do, we learn by doing” (Aristotle)

The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.” — Seymour Papert, MIT

Why isn’t this a Database Class?

04/20/23ACG 4401 11

Why isn’t this a Database Class?

Almost all AIS are built using database technology!

Almost all IS are built using database technology!

Shouldn’t we be learning how to design, build, query databases? Design - Yes

You should understand the importance of proper design of databases (using 3NF) to eliminate common data/information errors if not designed properly.

Build – No Not many accountants will actually be tasked with

building a database, that’s what the IT folks are for Query – Maybe

Like build above, most queries will be designed by the IT folks, but you should understand how they are built and how to use them.
