[Informatics] RDBMS for SAT Data analysis

[Mark]

Hi Donald

U3O1 requires a RDBMS.

U3O2 calls for "Appropriate tool for documenting project plans. Software
tools to capture, store, prepare and manipulate data" (study design p.28)

No database is specified.
I'd say Excel would be the tool of choice for most people.

Regards
Mark
