Introduction
Most organizations have a customer base and/or a product catalog. The customer base or the product catalog have associated attributes. Tiffin University (TU) has a base of customers, the students, in which you are a part of. Each student has a lot of related data associated with them. TU also has a list of products, the different majors offered. Each major also has a lot of related data. A company normally uses a database management system (DBMS) to store this data. It is typically called a relational DBMS.
