Bellringer: 
1. Look on the board if your name  is on the board    
 work on the missing assignment.  If you are missing the number pad 1- 8 exercises
 Go to http://www.typeonline.co.uk/number_pad_big_plus_lesson4.html
2. On a new Word document

What are we learning?
Understand the basics of databases. 
How is database information used, organized, and managed in business? 
What formatting options are available when creating databases?

Guided Lesson: 
Intelligence gathering has occurred throughout history. 
New word "query"- A database query is a piece of code (a query) 
that is sent to a database in order to get information back from 
the database. 
Queries can be saved. You can also "filter" information
in a database to find information that meets certain conditions, 
such as all students, who are older than 13 years old.

Database Test Questions
The first database test will be on these questions.

There are some questions we covered today.

To put data in a particular order is to sort.

Ascending is small to large, A-Z order.
Descending is large to small, Z-A order.
Two examples of connector words are OR and AND.
A feature that displays records that meet one or more specific 
criteria or condition is called a filter or query.
