Week 5 Discussion Board:
Based on the database you are developing for your data management project, please describe the transaction types that will be used to update your database. For instance, for a dinner social club database, there would be transactions to add, update, and delete the dates and times for dinner club events, transactions to add, update, and delete dinner club members, and transactions associated with members paying for club events. Indicate who would be authorized to run each of those different transactions (e.g., the club administrators, the club members, the dinner caterers, etc.) and what technique(s) you would use in the DBMS to tune the performance of the database. In addition, please describe the backup and recovery plan for the database and indicate how often and what type(s) of database backup you are planning based on the business requirements for the data. Please note the difference between the recovery of individual transactions and the recovery of an entire database.
