Creating databases was something completely new to me, so this scavenger hunt was definitely very helpful and will hopefully facilitate me with next week's database assignment. I thought it was awesome how each lecture covered a different aspect of how to create databases - definitely helpful.
My favorite aspect of databases are queries. They are so convenient! A query is like one big "find" button. It can help you find almost anything you're looking for whether it be broad or narrow as long as the specified fields are present. The fact that you can also save past queries as well as sort multiple fields makes databases a lot more convenient and a lot easier to maneuver.
Forms and reports are also very helpful and very convenient. Both of which are really great organizational tools. Whether it be creating a header or grouping data by fields, both forms and reports are the solutions.
Overall, I find creating databases to be very interesting, and definitely helpful when organizing information or trying to output information in an easy and understandable way. I'm anticipating next week's project to see how I can put my newly learned database skills to work.
