As I was going throught the lecture slides and the course readings a number of questions came to mind:
- The article in Wikipedia listed a number or usability requirements that all database types had to adhere to such as active, cloud, data warehouse,dsitributed, document-oriented, embedded, end-user as so forth. If certain 'database types' fell outside of the outlined criteria would they still be called such and if not what name would be given to them?
- In a large database are there sub-databases carrying out specific tasks or does the one database handle everything?
- If ORACLE is a database management system for a library's bibliograhpic collection, can LS Cataloguing implemented by TLC http://www.bcplib.org/PDF/Manuals/CIRC.pdf (what libraries may use to catalogue books electronically) be then called a database?
