A database is a repository for data. It allows data to be organized in a way to allow easy access

and manipulation of the data it contains. Traditionally, databases are stored as files, which

contain tables. Tables are composed of records $($rows$)$ that contain various columns$/$fields$.$

For this assignment you will use NJIT$$s MySQL server, which is an open$-$source relational

database management system. SQL $($Structured Query Language$)$ is a language that allows for

the manipulation of data stored within relational databases. This assignment will help you

understand how to create and manipulate databases.
