Describe SQL tables and how they relate to "data and information".
Find and share a website or article (no more than one year old) that describes best practices when creating database tables. Which practice did you find most useful, interesting, or wrong?
• Flesh out your thoughts and interact with your classmates. Post your initial response by Wednesday each week and then return on a couple of other days to see what's going on with the discussions. The more you interact, the more you learn from your peers, and the more you share with them about what you know. You'll also be showing your instructor what you've picked up.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
