week 8- databases

Databases are used almost daily by most of the population. Since there are many different types of databases, the one we will use will be electronic. It will allow people to make decisions about what they would like to eat and it will also store all the information people put into the system as well as all options offered.
The database will sort all the information into catagories such as toppings, bread and meat so it is easy to keep track of it all. The type of database will be a flat file which is a simple, 2 demensional model with no specific rules for avoiding redundancies. This will work because the formatting does not have to be fancy; in fact, if it is simple it will be much less confusing and more efficient.
In this database, there will be multiple queries which will basically be questions for each student so they can order personal sandwiches. The way people will be able to "answer the questions" and place their order will be through a table. There will be a table-like format; each column will have all of the different options to make a sandwich and students will either fill in a bubble or type an "x" next to any ingredient they want added to their sandwich.
