The Data! Quite so … lots of I.T. jobs recognize this and that is why you have Data Analysts and DBAs (Database Administrators) and numerous other job categories involved with Data Integration, as Wikipedia discusses below.
Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data.[1] This process becomes significant in a variety of situations, which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases) and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories, for example) domains. Data integration appears with increasing frequency as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes.[2] It has become the focus of extensive theoretical work, and numerous open problems remain unsolved. In management circles, people frequently refer to data integration as “Enterprise Information Integration” (EII).
These experts are great to have, but if you are not privileged enough to have the services of such experts, but you program and develop, what do you do?
You can do a course, and you can pick things up. MySql and the beautiful incredible phpMyAdmin make this infinitely possible for PHP/MySql web environments.
Take a look at how easy it is to get SQL involved in a Database Copy integration idea in MySql … am just using localhost:8889 as a MySql MAMP phpMyAdmin environment, and the tutorial starts showing you this environment.
This tutorial shows you just how good PHP/MySql/phpMyAdmin are, and how breaking things down into common denominators (which is what I class SQL as) is good. By “common denominators” guess what I am saying is “protocols”. In this use of “protocols” in this sense, would include this list (but there are many more):
- SQL
- HTML
- XML
- JSON
- CSV files
- PDF files
Think we need to talk more about “protocols” in coming weeks?!
Click on picture above for the tutorial, on the picture, as usual. Hope you know that clicking on the @ causes the tutorial to be like a movie?! Otherwise use the horizontal scrollbar to move from left to right through the presentation.
Have a great day thinking about data … or at the beach (but when you’re there think about where each sand grain came from … back to data thoughts?!).
If this was interesting you may be interested in this too.
