ECDL advanced database

Introduction

Databases have developed from a simple paper based system to a dynamic tool that not only creates, but can also implement, extract and report on the data within the database. ECDL Advanced Database helps the user to understand the variety of ways that data can be used to create entity relationship tables. It is aimed at the person who wishes to prove that their knowledge is beyond that of a basic user, and is an external qualification accredited by the British Computer Society.
