Ladies and gentlemen the time has come for you to start learning about Databases and SQL. In this episode I will talk about the very basics of databases and why it is they exist in the first place. You'll learn things like: What exactly is a Database, and what ulitimate purpose does it serve? Why are modern databases referred to as relational databases? What a database does, day in and day out, it's sole purpose in life is essentially CRUD! How does SQL fit into the database equation Why it was that Trevor failed his first database course in university! For shame! Learning and understanding databases is more is less a required skill in these modern days of programming, and at the very least, having knowledge about databases will give you a leg up on any competition. So pay attention boys and girls, and strap on your thinking caps, because this ride is getting started.
