1
00:00:01,070 --> 00:00:04,980
‫What is a database hold on a second.
2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:11,210
‫Maybe you are a smarty pants and you know what a database is, but trust me, in this section you may
3
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:13,630
‫learn a thing or two that will surprise you.
4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,820
‫So no matter what level of experience, just hang in there, promise we'll get to some really fun stuff.
5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:20,590
‫You see.
6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:28,070
‫I remember when I first learned about databases and Eskil, I couldn't understand how it was all connected
7
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:29,180
‫with other fields.
8
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:36,560
‫I would learn about web development or python or machine learning and had no idea how this school or
9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,550
‫databases really related to those fields.
10
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:46,340
‫So I want us to always understand the big picture and connect the dots so that the things you learn
11
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:51,620
‫in this course, you understand why it is useful and how we can use what we learn to do.
12
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:54,840
‫Some really interesting things in the world of tech.
13
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:57,500
‫So what is a database?
14
00:00:58,340 --> 00:01:06,380
‫A database is a collection of data and also a method for us to access and manipulate that data.
15
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:09,230
‫So let's think about the statement.
16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,880
‫Data is everywhere, right?
17
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:17,320
‫Data is now the most valuable commodity in the world.
18
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:25,550
‫Companies that control data, companies that have a lot of data like Uber, like Alibaba, like Amazon,
19
00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:31,250
‫like Facebook, like Google, are some of the most valuable companies in the world because they have
20
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:31,820
‫this data.
21
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:36,590
‫And every day in our world, we produce data.
22
00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:37,250
‫Right.
23
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:45,320
‫Whether it's drones with footages or location data, mobile phone apps, maybe website and web pages,
24
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,330
‫even security cameras.
25
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:49,300
‫We even have autonomous cars.
26
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:51,650
‫All those things collect data.
27
00:01:51,950 --> 00:02:00,920
‫And the crazy part is that it's estimated we produce 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every year.
28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,490
‫And by the way, quintillion means this many zeros.
29
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,690
‫It's a lot of zeros.
30
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:12,050
‫More data is collected in the past two years than the entire human history.
31
00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:14,770
‫So where does all this data go?
32
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,980
‫Does it just get stored in a notebook?
33
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:19,290
‫Does somebody with pen and paper write it down?
34
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:20,370
‫No.
35
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:20,700
‫Right.
36
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:26,260
‫And how can you really have that statement that more data has been generated in the last two years than
37
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,130
‫all of human history combined?
38
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:34,270
‫I mean, sure, there's more humans on Earth, but there's always been the same number of atoms in the
39
00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:34,930
‫universe.
40
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:37,750
‫You can just create something out of nothing.
41
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:44,560
‫When we say that data is being created more and more, the idea is that we're capturing this data.
42
00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:49,270
‫We're saving this data somewhere to be used in some way.
43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,600
‫Data is something that we as humans create.
44
00:02:52,810 --> 00:02:57,990
‫But without capturing that data or using it, it's completely useless.
45
00:02:58,570 --> 00:03:06,430
‫We use oil to power cars, but if we don't extract that oil, if we don't use that oil, it's completely
46
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,210
‫useless.
47
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:10,960
‫So we need a way to capture this data.
48
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:13,570
‫And that's what databases do.
49
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:16,900
‫They capture this data for us so that we can use it.
50
00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:22,840
‫And here's another crazy number, 40 for the digital universe.
51
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,720
‫That is, the data that we store is estimated to be about 44 zettabytes of data.
52
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,680
‫How many zeros?
53
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,830
‫Once again, lots and lots of zeros.
54
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:36,320
‫So all this data is being captured.
55
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:44,190
‫In a database without a database, we wouldn't be able to store this massive amount of data and more
56
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:47,550
‫importantly, we can do some useful things with this data.
57
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:55,080
‫All those things we saw like autonomous cars, Instagram, Facebook, Google, without data, none of
58
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,950
‫it would work.
59
00:03:56,580 --> 00:04:01,920
‫So without a database, the ability to query a database, that is to ask database information about
60
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,070
‫its data, it would be impossible for us to do a lot of things.
61
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,070
‫But here is a secret.
62
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:14,910
‫We mentioned that a database is a collection of data, in a way, for us to access and manipulate that
63
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:15,270
‫data.
64
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:23,560
‫But the secret is that databases aren't anything special, they're just hardware and software, there's
65
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,900
‫just computers.
66
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:32,470
‫So a database, even though we always see this scary looking cylinders are just computers.
67
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:40,340
‫We see images like this all the time representing databases, but they're just computers, it's hardware
68
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,450
‫with software.
69
00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:47,690
‫So that is hardware is the mechanical part and the software is the actual code on top that allows us
70
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:50,230
‫to collect and use the data really useful.
71
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:57,740
‫So in this course, what you'll see is that we do the first step, which is one, we install software
72
00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:02,090
‫to turn our computer into a database so that we can all practice.
73
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:08,030
‫And two, we add data to this database that we create with this software, and then we're going to start
74
00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:16,430
‫using it and analyzing it, because at the end of the day, a database is exactly this just a disk drive,
75
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:20,420
‫a way for us to store ones and zeros on a computer?
76
00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:28,280
‫And the beautiful thing is that as long as we can install something, we have a computer, something
77
00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:35,090
‫with memory that we can store memory in, and we have a machine, a computer, we can create a database
78
00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:41,020
‫that is we can create a database, even on a mobile phone, on our desktops or on our laptops.
79
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:42,790
‫And that's what we're going to do in the course.
80
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,430
‫But when you see somebody having a database, that's all it means.
81
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:53,330
‫They have a computer somewhere in the world with software installed for it to store and manipulate that
82
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:53,690
‫data.
83
00:05:54,590 --> 00:05:56,660
‫Let's take a break and I'll see you in the next video.
