Surfing the net for software engineering notes

ABSTRACT

Database programming doesn't provide the excitement of game programming or the instant gratification of a flashy web application, but the ability to store and retrieve information in an organized manner is vital to the operation of many client-server or web-based applications. Construction of a solid application often depends upon a well built database to provide persistent storage of the data needed to power the application. So although database planning and design may be boring, it is a necessary step in the software engineering process.
