Database Review

1. RDBMS: Rational Database Managment System

2. Three tables that could be part of a doctors patient relational database name, date, lab reults.

3. Searching the database to find specific information is called a: file search

4. We are concerned about the electronic database because anyone can hack into it and check out different peoples social security numbers (etc.) and be able to steal others identity.

5. 3 different social and ethical issues that are related to online databases is, for one, privacy. Databases give lack of privacy by posting up your information and making it available for customer callers to call, etc. Another s/e issue is authenticuity. Ones information ccould not have been updataed and so what would be given out is wrong information. Lastly, Globalization and cultural diversity. People from all over your world can be on the same database from someone else on the otherside of the world.

6. Something that we need to protect electronic databases from is identity theft. we can protect it by firewall and password security.
