Periodically, I like to point out features on SearchDatabase.com to our newest members -- and remind our 190,000 faithful members of what they might be missing. One of the most popular areas of the site is a godsend to those choking on the alphabet soup of database industry acronyms. Our huge database-specific glossary will help you to understand all the latest industry lingo.
The glossary is powered by our famous sister site WhatIs.com so you know that it is detailed and accurate. Here is a sampling -- are you sure you know the meaning of all these?:
If you are puzzled by a term not seen in the glossary, please drop me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll add the definition to our list. Enjoy!
Till next week, Tim
