Database Project

I basically learned how to us a database. Having never used a database program before, and never opening Microsoft Access before in my life, it was a totally new of organizing data for me. I learned about creating tables in databases and while creating relationships between tables was not a part of the project, I can see how that is immediately useful when needing to organize lots of data with lots of redundancy.

One thing that could enhance the database for the project would be to have another set of data for age. Age was not used in the data except for a birth date. So maybe there could be a formula put in that would calculate what the member's age would be based upon their birth date and what the current date is.This could be important information for personal trainers who needs to work with these members as knowing their age can greatly affect how they will evaluate the fitness levels and goals for the members.

This was a very challenging project, though in the scheme of professional database projects, probably simple. Hopefully more experience with Access and other database programs will help me increase my skills and knowledge with databases.
