Unit 2: Creating Systems to Manage Information
Level:
3
Unit type:
Internal
Guided learning hours:
90
Unit in brief
Learners study the design, creation, testing and evaluation of a relational database
system to manage information.
Unit introduction
Relational databases are widely used to manage and
process data to support, for
example business processes and our social lives. From the smallest in-house systems to
stock control systems for large multinational online retailers, databases are repositories
of information that are a significant part of organisational operating requirements.
You will examine the structure of data and its origins, and how an efficient
data design
follows through to an effective and useful database. You will examine a given scenario
and develop an effective design solution to produce a database system. You will then
test your solution to ensure that it works correctly. Finally, you
will evaluate each stage of
the development process and the effectiveness of your database solution. To complete
the assessment tasks in this unit, you will need to draw on your
learning from across
your programme.
The skills you gain in this unit support progression to IT-related, higher-education
courses and to employment in a role that requires computing-related expertise.
