Importing and Linking
What is it?
Import copies external data into the database, while linking keeps a connection to an external source.
In simple words
- Import copies external data into the database, while linking keeps a connection to an external source.
- Working method: first identify the input or starting state for importing and linking; then apply the rule or process in a clear order; finally inspect the output, test an edge case, and explain any limitation.
- Example: apply importing and linking to a small school, home, or software problem and trace the result.
Important terms
