Review 01

The document discusses database concepts including: 1) A database is an organized collection of logically related data. Key concepts include entities, attributes, relationships, and metadata. 2) Program-data dependence is caused by data descriptions being stored separately from programming code. This allows program-data independence and better maintenance. 3) Entity-relationship diagrams are used to model the relationships between entities (objects) and their attributes in a database.
