| A Sample Database
|
This section describes the sample database we'll use throughout the rest of this book. It gives you a source of examples you can try out as you learn to put MySQL to work. We'll draw examples primarily from two of the situations described earlier:
The organizational secretary scenario. We need something more definite than "an organization," so I'll make one up with these characteristics: It's composed of people drawn together through a common affinity for United States history (called, for lack of a better name, the U.S. Historical League). The members maintain their affiliation by renewing their memberships periodically on a dues-paying basis. Dues go toward the expenses incurred by the League, such as publication of a newsletter, Chronicles of U.S. Past. The League also operates a small Web site, but it hasn't been developed very much. Thus far, the site has been limited to basic information, such as what the League is about, who the officers are, and how people can join.
The grade-keeping scenario. During the grading period, you administer quizzes and tests, record scores, and assign grades. Afterward, you determine final grades, which you turn in to the school office along with an attendance summary.
