This document defines key terms related to databases and data analysis. It discusses what a database is and the steps to create one, including setting objectives, analyzing data needs, designing the database structure, creating and entering data, and using feedback. It also defines common database concepts like entities, attributes, fields, relationships, and data validation. Finally, it covers Excel functions for organizing and analyzing data, such as sorting, filtering, subtotals, dynamic tables, and dynamic graphics.
3. 1. Database: is a collection or set of stored
data organized, structured and systematized in
files, linked, interrelated or to make decisions
related to the use of that information.
2. How to make a database?: to create a
database, follow these steps: set the target,
perform analysis, make the design, creating,
entering data, and using feedback information.
4. 3.Objective : is the reason why we want to
make the database, what we will create the
database ?.
4. Analysis: the study to identify the data that
will be handled it in the database, in other
words, are the data, entities and attributes.
5. 5. Design: the realization of the scheme
entity - relationship.
6. Creation: enter the scheme entity - relation
to the program in which the database was
created.
7. Enter data: input data to see if the
database works.
8. Feedback: correct errors that occur at the
time of entering the data.
6. 9. Use of Information: use the database to
analyze and use the data needed in decision
making, search for information or data query.
10. Data: is a symbolic representation of
something (a number, letter, symbol, etc).
7. 11. Entity: is an element to which attribute
data or attributes. In excel an entity is a table
12. Attribute: a characteristic of the entity.
8. 13. Primary Attribute: is the primary or
representative characteristic of the
entity.
14. Field: is an attribute in the design of the
database
15. Registration: is data inserted into the table,
is the information in the table.
9. 16. Relationship: a link between data entities
of the same species
17. One to One relation: there are only two
parties in the relationship, one on either side
to the other, there is a third.
18. one to several relation: beside one
element and the next there are multiple items.
10. 19. several to several relation: on
both sides of the relationship there
are several elements, but among
them there is one element that
unites them.
20. Data Validation: the user is trying to
make the least mistakes, so that the
information is of good quality.
11. 21. Lists: excel provides a list of features
designed to facilitate the management
and analysis of groups of related data in
a worksheet.
Is a data conjunto organized in rows or
records in which the first row contains
the column name of Primary Attribute ,
and the other rows contain the data
stored.
22. Sorting: Sort the data is part of data
analysis you may want to put a list of names
in alphabetical order, compile a list of levels
of higher-invetario unless sort rows by colors
or icons, arrange data helps to see them and
understand them better as well as to
organize and more easily plugged Find them
make effective decisions.
12. 23. Filters: make finding a subset of data
within a range to work with it, this subset of
data or range filter displays the rows that meet
the criteria specified for each column.
24. Total Sub: The total sub function in Excel,
gives us almost immediately totals rows with
the information we have in our spreadsheet.
For example, suppose we have a sheet with
personnel costs we have done we can have the
subtotal amount spent for each area of our
spending.
13. 25. Tables dynamics: the dynamic tables are
an analysis tool to summarize data and order
the information contained in the database, and
allow this kind of analysis only a portion of the
database with lots of fields or columns that
only help visualize relevant information, so
that the analysis becomes easier.
26. Dynamic Graphics: is a graphic based on a
pivot table that automatically adjusts to apply
any filter on the graphic information.
