Does that mean you make databases prettier or easier to use? (I'm not familiar with computer science, which is why I ask.)

I can build one and explain how it works, at the very least. The 'making it easier to use' bit comes later in the course

Presumably that means any company which employs you will not be forced to keep all their data on 16 MB spreadsheets,
like certain employers of mine I could mention,but will be able to draw on your expertise to create decent databases instead?

Also - congrats, those certs are hard work! :) Is it for a specific DBMS or a more theoretical qualification?
(I sincerely hope this board app that appears to be made from pure refined 1999 has protection against SQL injection. That is if it even uses a SQL database...) -

My theory is that the Board's data is stored in honeycomb by genetically-engineered bees...

It's mostly for the theoretical stuff, with a bit of mySQL thrown in.

I've had some experience with programming and whatnot. I know how much work that must have been. Most work in that field still confuses me. Still, I'm taking my first programming class next year and I'm planning on going into computer programming. Congratulations on such a great achievement.

No idea what Database Design is, but it sounds like it has to do with computers.

I basically know how to build a database from the ground up, according to the certification
