Database Design and Maintenance
The official definition of a database is an integrated collection of logically related records or files consolidated into a common pool that provides data for one or more multiple uses. In simpler terms, think of a phonebook. A phonebook is a database. It breaks down information into small pieces of data, but then presents it in a useful form that is easy to understand. A database takes things one step further though and allows you to ask it questions, or queries. It can even let you store documents and present reports.
Data-in-Formation can design and/or maintain your databases. Databases are a central repository for all of your data that can turn it into information by you asking it questions.
