Databases

Watch the Introduction to Databases video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-k-h0GuFmE ) by Dr. Jennifer Widom of Stanford University and respond to the items in Part 1.   Feel free to pause the video to respond to the items and re-watch segments as necessary.  Alternatively, you may prefer to view the presentation once through and then again to complete the assignment.  The presentation is 13 minutes long.

Part 2 of the assignment is not specifically related to the video, but will require some additional investigation and research.

Note that this presentation is part of a database course for computer science students at Stanford University.  When Dr. Widom states ‘in this course we will cover’ or that ‘we will cover’ a given topic in greater detail later in the course, she is referring to her course, not ours.
