Abstract

There has been an increasing demand for managers to be acquainted with database and its application.  Database is an indispensable key to business success and facilitates the ability of business to use information to its advantage. It is the database that drives technology; the web page of business enterprise to everyone. It is managers responsibility for keeping the records of performance, and using the records to promote efficiency, discipline, and to get the job done. Today’s in-depth involvement of database in the marketplace has created a strong correlation between managers and business database. Over time, the bond between a manager and databases becoming stronger, signaling the need for more interaction and understanding of both technical capabilities and business goals on the part of database management. This paper posits that managers need to know more about databases and actively participate in business decision-making. Furthermore, it suggests how managers can have incrementally to acquire some elementary knowledge of database development, concept of file insert, search, delete, and update. In addition managers should acquire concepts of loop, “if” statement, and input/output. Also a manager should familiarized with the object oriented concept/class and how to execute the program and manipulating it, such as changing the name. As databases become integrated to the web, managers need to acquire concepts in Web server technology such as CGI, ASP, JSP, and PHP. It may soon become almost mandatory that a multi-talented manager will have to deal with change and deal with this concept and even personally involved in day to day operation and maintenance of the database in order to be competitive. The key to the manager’s success is to progressively attain the knowledge of database and its applications and realize that it is not necessary to go in-depth - it may be hard to pursue. A benefit of understanding of database and its applications is that it will allow a manager to play a larger role in communicating and delegating responsibility with confidence, and competence thus leading to cost reduction and better short- and long-term risk management.
