Part 1: Relational Database Table and Spreadsheet Spreadsheets and relational databases allow the user to manage data in different ways. A spreadsheet provides easy access to data in cells and allows the user to manage information in a table. The user can easily add, delete, update, and sort rows and columns of information regardless of how the information is connected. Changes can be made directly in the cell, and the user can see all information. Information does not need to be a certain type unless a formula is applied to a certain cell.  Relational Databases hold their information in tables that the user does not have access to unless certain queries are called to access and manage the information. Queries involve the use of keywords such as "SELECT," "DELETE," and  "INSERT." Data in relational databases have a more secure way of managing data as there are certain rules that need to be followed so that information can be updated. In relational database...

I felt more comfortable with the syntax involved in coding in Java and using IntelliJ.  The very first thing I would have done was to make sure that I was using Java 11 SDK and not the latest version. I did not pay attention to the fact that we needed to change the SDK of each project from the current Java version to Java 11. Even though I was still able to write the code, it did not meet the requirements set by the professor.  The second thing I would have done differently is to write out on paper and create a flowchart of what methods rely on each other. I would start with the methods that were e most heavily relied upon and then built from there.  The third thing I would have done differently is to write the code to the point that it would run. I spent a lot of time focusing on passing the test...
