Relational Databases
This video will discuss the things we will discuss again in class.
Watch it to familiarize yourself with the terminology.

Readings
Read pages 3-10, Introduction in Steven Roman's Access Database Design and Programming. 3rd ed. Sebastopol, California: O’Reilly, 2002.
Then read pages 11-17 The Entity-Relationship Model of a Database
Don't think you have to know or remember everything in both readings.
They are to introduce you to the modone of entity relationship structures.
If you want more on entity relationship structures,
you may find it useful to read Logical Models
in CA Erwin Data Modeler.
This is not a required reading. It is optional, but perhaps is one you might want to keep for later reading.
