[Informatics] Database Sac

[Mark]

Yes, James. I know it doesn't have to be actually put online; that would be
beyond the powers of most students and college IT infrastructures.
I was discussing the *concept* of front and back ends being new, and
students needing to be aware of it.

In other words you can't use an old database scenario (e.g. Jim Smith's
personal stamp collection database) with a UFD task tacked onto it.
The new scenario has to accommodate transactions, and recognise the concept
of front/back ends of databases.

​Regards
Mark​
