Module 8 Discussion.
The role of Database Scientists is by far the most appealing to me because of how much it seems to fit into my current role. Gathering and cleansing data to be used for problem solving, predictive solutions and data visualization are all a big part of how I use a database to continuously improve our equipment operations. Problem solving is a vital skill to performing this role well and those goes hand in hand with good mathematical skills. Mathematical principals are seen throughout database operations but are also a necessary skill to be used in Predictive analytics. Predictive analytics are also a vital part of my daily job as I am able to look at data that describes equipment performance and determine many future activities surrounding this equipment such as PM frequency, inspection frequency or even how long we can operate before replacing the equipment.
I have hopes to use what I have learned to increase my efficiency in my current job as well as to pursue career advancement. I will continue to use many of the resources that we discussed such as the My SQL tutorials and information that is available there. Also, the standard queries that we have built during this course can easily be a foundation for other more complicated queries that I may need later. I got into data analytics without really knowing what I was getting into, but I have enjoyed the years I have put into. This course has without a doubt helped fill in some of the educational gaps that I have been contending with and therefor makes me fill more confident in my role and what I am capable of.

Hello everybody,
I hope all is well with you and your families, wish you guys all the best. When I started to think about which of the many database roles I could apply to my future professional career within my own company, IT Security Analysts sounds like the one I will pursue. Creating and improving existing processes with procedures for managing on-premise incidents and handling the latest threats are just a few responsibilities in this job role. Collecting customer information like phone numbers and email addresses to create a personalized experience for each customer is just one of the many ways we use databases and the information they provide. The trust and security of our customers are imperative to the success of our company. We will always need professional technicians for this job role.
My company’s Information Security department will be an ever-evolving department. The skills taught to me throughout this course will be beneficial for my future college courses. Learning how to create and analyze tables is very challenging for me, but now that I have the fundamentals I will succeed. Analyzing SQL queries will be the most helpful to me. I will be referencing the MYSQL 8.0 reference manual to help me better my knowledge of this open-source database. Although I am still new to this magnificent industry, I will expand my knowledge for as long as possible.
