Data is seen as the starting point to understanding, while wisdom is the ending. Like most educational systems, jobs, and entertainment, it has a clear hierarchical order. Each part of this pyramid has importance and must be present or complete to move on to the next. This pyramid can be related to the stages of development of a human being. Data being infancy, information being school age, knowledge being adulthood, and wisdom being late adulthood. Comparing these two ideas for me, helped me better understand the function of databases. Without the presence of data, a database would lack structure and therefore be unable to process information. Without the process of information, knowledge, or the ability to perform analytics, cannot be completed. Lastly, without knowledge, there can be no wisdom or logical decision made to complete the query.
