Even after reading this chapter I still don't fully comprehend what makes a database more useful than a spreadsheet. The book says that a spreadsheet only hold certain types of data and that it can't hold the amount of data in one place. With the new version of excel, I believe that spreadsheets can be called databases. By definition a database is a self-describing collection of integrated records. This is what I could describe a spreadsheet as.
Is there a way in class you could go over again what the difference between a spreadsheet and a database is?
