What are the advantages of managing database information in Access versus using an Excel spreadsheet?

Topic Questions As per our textbook, Access, a relational database application, is the most widely used PC-based database management system (DBMS) software for both personal and business users. Like other database systems, the structure of the database file is of the utmost importance. For this exercise, you must demonstrate your understanding of the Access database system by describing how you would begin to create a database file with one of its tables (No templates). Your example may be a personal or business database. In addition, what are the advantages of managing database information in Access versus using an Excel spreadsheet? Thread Directions Students are required to participate in these weekly online classroom discussion threads. Students should post at least 1 post on 3 separate days in the active week’s discussion thread. Please make sure to read all topic questions, thread directions, and assignment rubric criteria to ensure that responses are accurate and complete. Points may be deducted, at the discretion of the instructor, for not adhering to any of the following guidelines. Discussion posts will be graded according to the assignment rubric provided below.

Create a database called itco231_u4. Add a comment to your file using an appropriate comment tag.

Save the document as  Simon_ITCO231_U4.sql https://breeze.careeredonline.com/putqzevc5whiplayer/?session=breezbreezy5dwnnfkyyyp24fc Using the provided entity relationship diagram (ERD), you will create tables by writing the Structured Query Language (SQL) statements. Use paiza.io for MySQL to execute and troubleshoot your SQL statements. It is recommended that you use Notepad to write your SQL statements. Then, copy and paste your SQL statements into paiza.io to test your statements to ensure that they execute without errors. Save your work frequently. Write the SQL statements to create the database based on the provided ERD. Do the following: Create a database called itco231_u4.  Add a comment to your file using an appropriate comment tag. The comment must include your name, course code (ITCO231), and your submission date.  Create the 4 tables in the provided diagram shown at the end of the assignment instructions.  As you will see in the diagram, primary keys (PKs) and foreign keys (FKs) are indicated. Ensure that you implement the constraints as specified, including the composite PK.  All name and address type columns should not be null.  Data types for student and professor IDs should be a numeric data type.  Date columns should be a date data type.  All other columns should be a variable character data type of an appropriate length. Next, you will make up some sample data that you will insert into each table.  Add 3 students to the student table.  All student IDs should be at least 5 digits long and start with the same number. Add 2 professors to the professor table.  All professor IDs should be at least 4 digits long and start with the same number. It should not begin with the same number as the student IDs. Add 2 courses to the course table.  Add each student to one of the courses. All students must have the same professor and start date. To test your SQL statements, copy and paste all statements into paiza.io, and click on “Run.” If you see error statements in the Output area, then at least one of your statements has an error. Review the error to help troubleshoot your code. Ideally, your statements should all run without error. If you have any error that you are not able to fix, remember that it is more important to submit a partially working file than to submit nothing.  Save all of your final SQL statements into a text file using Notepad. The file should be named using your last name and ITCO231_U4.sql, as in “Smith_ITCO231_U4.sql.”  Tip: When saving a Notepad file, you can change the file extension to .sql as required for the assignment by changing the “Save as type” to “All Files” and then typing the .sql extension, as shown in the example.  Information: When saving a set of SQL statements into a plain text file, such as Notepad, and adding the appropriate file extension (i.e., .sql for this assignment), you are creating a script file. This file can then be executed in a tool that is designed to run it, such as MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and so forth.

Discuss why you find it valuable in your academic and professional pursuits.

To prepare for this discussion, again, read the article Working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families  (Links to an external site.)  and reflect on the following quote: “The key is to learn as much as you can about each of the children, to get to know their families, and to always be culturally and linguistically responsive in the classroom” (Bredekamp, 2017, p. 182). Below are some tips to help you further succeed on this discussion: When reading the case study on page 171 of your text about Mrs. Arguenta and Stacey, think back to the definition of acculturation.  Have you seen examples in your life that can support your view of what role acculturation played in this scenario?  Just remember to support them with research.   Based on information from your course text and the article Working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families  (Links to an external site.) , what is your plan for avoiding the following problems: Misunderstanding children Inaccurate Assessment of Children Failure to Promote Children’s Achievement As a leader, what is your role the following statement: “When there are cultural differences between what the school defines as developmentally appropriate and the expectations of the family, children are likely to have greater difficulty adjusting” (Bredekamp, 2017, p. 197).   How do you plan to uphold your educational and ethical obligations to each child and family in your classroom? How will you support children during this adjustment? What are the steps you will take as the leader of others, to promote helping students become bicultural? Remember in your peer responses that you are incorporating an anti-bias curriculum and how it supports the cultural and linguistic expectations of leaders, and promotes a culturally responsive classroom environment. For this week’s toolbox you will create a My Personal Knowledge Management System by using both Diigo  (Links to an external site.)  or Symbaloo  (Links to an external site.)  and Powerpoint slides. Using the MAECEL PLOs and the sources you have examined during this course you will bookmark a total of 20 quality, web-based sources in your Diigo or Symbaloo library.   The 20 sources that you choose should be ones that you want to flip to or find quickly. These can be used for the rest of the program and, for your personal and professional use. As you are researching articles find ones that benefit you and your chosen profession. After you have chosen the 20 sources you will narrow it down to 5. For each of the five sources you choose: Describe the source Explain why it is a credible source Discuss why you find it valuable in your academic and professional pursuits. Remember to describe and establish the purpose of this assignment for you. The Diigo  (Links to an external site.)  or Symbaloo  (Links to an external site.)  library you create should include a minimum of 20 credible, web-based sources.  Remember you want to choose sources that benefit you, your program and your career. This is also a time to really get to know different website and places to find credible and scholarly sources that you will benefit from throughout your entire program. Links to other websources: https://www.childcareresourcesinc.org/ The Online Owl Purdue  (Links to an external site.)  site provides good insight on how to find credible resources. Some others that are recommended by Lee College Library  (Links to an external site.)  are: .edu = educational .net=top level domain Remember to describe the source and why it is credible Why do you find the source valuable? How do you think you will use it in your future courses?  How will you use it in your career? Provide citation and the web link to the source. Remember that slide 3 should contain information about a credible web-based source related to governmental, legal, or policy information that pertains specifically to early childhood education that you will find valuable during your academic studies and professional work Remember that slide 4 should contain information about a credible web-based source related to a community-based or non-profit organization that you will find valuable during your academic studies and professional work. Slide 5 should contain information about a credible web-based source related to a trade journal or an education-based resource that you will find valuable during your academic studies and professional work. Education World  (Links to an external site.)  is a great resource to find hot topics in education. Slide 6 should contain information about a credible web-based source related to any ECE-related topic of your choice that you will find valuable during your academic studies and professional work.  Some sources for you to look into include: Washington Department of Early Learning  (Links to an external site.) , Teacher Tools  (Links to an external site.) , and LDA  (Links to an external site.) .   For your concluding slide remember to tell about the main points of your assignment and how it will help you in your program and your career.
