A database is important for businesses. It eliminates the replication of information and creates one data source for the entire organization to use instead of many. It prevents inconsistent data by allowing employees to add, edit, and delete records.
By using relationships it links data (tables) making things much easier to find. Using SQL makes it extremely simple to create queries and find the information one is looking for. Databases also make it much easier to create and analyze forms.
This relates to my entrepreneurial idea because keeping things linked and accessible is extremely important in a business. A database would help keep everyone up to date on recent events. If a customer updates their contact information only one employee would have to update the database, then it would be accessible to everyone if they had to contact that customer. Also, it would enable employees to see each customer and what they purchased and where it was shipped etc. (a one to many relationship).
