As your business grows, you will gather more and more information about your customer’s demands, history, inventory, management and more. The problem of managing and handling them can be solved by deploying a database to hold all of these enormous information that you need.

What is a Database?

A database is a collection of information organized in a very efficient way. With a database, data organization, storage, sorting, analyzing, comparing and manipulation can be easily accomplished. A very simple example of a database can be seen written on an excel spreadsheet. Think for example, a list of people with their first name, telephone number, address and nationality. You might call this excel spreadsheet as “People Directory”.

According the those information, we can safely say that we have a database file called “People Directory” with records “first name”, “telephone number”, “address” and “nationality”. To complete the database theory, we put a person named “Matt”, and his telephone number is “111-11111”. When we pull out Matt, that is what is called the field.

Why do I need a Database?

A database is a crucial part of almost every business today, especially those which needs storing and processing a large amount of data. Now, you might think that your business is too small for a database, I only need to record every day sales and inventory. What need have I for this? A database can easily store and hold your information. Further, a database is very efficient, accurate and reliable. It makes organization of things very easy and simple and it reduces redundancy and errors. In fact, a database can store hundreds of terabytes of data for years without any errors or data corruption(as long as you back up regularly). Though you might have a small size of information for now, think about for years to come, and when you implement new features and you need to collect more data. Therefore, databases for business management will surely improve your business performance in all aspects.
