  4. You can use queries and filters to extract specific information from a database.
  5. You can use integrations and APIs to sync data with external sources.
  6. You can use workflows to automate tasks and perform actions based on specific events.
  7. You can apply database management concepts to a variety of real-world situations, such as customer relationship management, inventory management, project management, event planning, and human resources.
  8. Best practices for database management include defining the purpose and scope of the database, identifying key data to track and store, using relationships to link data together, using queries and filters to extract specific information, and considering integrations and APIs to sync data with external sources.
