Fun with databases

Since starting this blog I've been really excited about showing projects and work that I have been involved in... Kind of treating this like a showcase more than anything. I've had exactly 1 view besides myself so far ( thanks bro ), but I want to show that I do other things besides graphics & game programming (even though thats my favorite right now).

Two summers ago, I worked for a company called GHAFARI Associates. It was truly a pleasure working there, i was an intern in the Project Management department, and I learned a lot about what being a project manager is all about. Also, once they realized I knew how to code, they gave me a lot of interesting assignments in creating databases that the PMs could leverage. I made all my databases in Access using VBA, but had I known better at the time, I would've leveraged Microsoft Project for one of the databases (the resource management - as I didn't know it at the time, but Project did everything I needed to hardcore myself into Access! haha). In addition, for the other DBs, I would've used SQL Server Express/C# Express, because there were some really frustrating issues with database corruption with Access - which usually occurred during multi-user access, but sometimes would happen spontaneously as well in a controlled environment. All in all though I am very proud of the work I did for GHAFARI, thankful for the experience, and hope they still find these useful.

I'm posting some screenshots of the database but most of the content of the database is filtered out for privacy reasons - and I was too lazy to add new content.
