Bellringer:1. Open your Typing file and on page 59 type lines 6 and 7.            
    Use your right LITTLE finger for the - dash  key.
    
TEST ON FRIDAY- you can practice exit activity at home.
    
What are we learning?Understand the basics of databases.
How is database information used, organized, and managed in business?

Guided Lesson: 
Intelligence gathering has occurred throughout history. 
The NSA uses "queries" (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. ) to meet its objectives of counterterrorism, 
counterproliferation and cyber security. However, many people
question if gathering huge amounts of metadata without a 
warrant violates our 4th Amendment rights. (The right of the people to be 
secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable 
searches and seizures)

A feature that displays records that meet one or more specific 
criteria or condition is called a filter or query. 
When you what to find more than one criteria you use connector words.


Two examples of connector words are OR and AND.

And- will give you a smaller search.
Or- will give you a larger search.
