DBM 380 Week 5 Individual: Database Management System and Project Compilation

Organizations of all sizes are likely going to implement one or more of the following database management systems (DBMS):

• MySQL™
• MS SQL™ Server
• Oracle®
• Microsoft® Access

Create a 1-page comparison chart using Microsoft® Word that shows:

• The highlights of each DBMS’s strengths, weaknesses, and limitations
• Three types of applications that organizations would use the DBMS for as part of their backend database needs

Note:  All DBMS must provide data storage and retrieval.

Practice data retrieval using the Sparkle Diamond database you created in your team. First, make a backup copy of your database. Then, delete some of the records from your database. Without simply restoring from the copy, figure out a way to restore the database to its original state. Rerun the queries and see if the tables populate correctly.

Compile all of the work from prior weeks into a single ZIP folder.

Submit the chart and all prior week’s work to the Assignment Files tab.
