[Database class] Database Project (definition)

[Paul S. Wang]

Reem,

An important aspect of any software definiton is requirements.

That is an analysis of what users will be using the application,
what purposes it will serve,  and what functionalities it will provide
when completed.

In general the definition ought to give anyone a way of saying that
the final completed project has achieved the preset goals or not.

I hope you don't mind me sending this to the class list so everyone
can see my answer.

Paul
