 Program (e.g., VBA) data is volatile
 Data in one place for everyone to use
 Indispensable in commerce

Joins are commonsense
If I give you c_id ‘4977’,
can you give me the
phone numbers of the
loan officers for that
client?
SQL Query
Select loan_officer.phone
from customer_in_loan, loan, loan_officer
where
customer_in_loan.c_id = '4977' and
customer_in_loan.l_id = loan.l_id and
loan.lo_id = loan_officer.lo_id
If I give you c_id ‘4977’, can
you give me the phone
numbers of the loan officers
for that client?
