This tool helps manage a company's employees using node, inquirer, and MySQL.

The code for this employee tracker is housed on GitHub.

AS A business owner I WANT TO view and manage the departments, roles, and employees in my company SO I CAN organize and plan my business.

To use this app, type 'node index.js' on the command line. Then choose the number of the task you'd like to accomplish. To add a role, for example, select "2" on your keyboard. To see how the tracker works, watch this quick video demo.

This app makes it easy for nondevelopers to view and interact with content management systems (CMSs) and other databases. Users can access data—including names, id numbers, titles, and salaries—by employee, department, or role.

• Runs on the command line.
• Uses mySQL to store database records.
• Uses npm inquirer to interact with users.
• Formats data with npm console.table.

Working with SQL databases, schema, and tables helped me better nderstand the conceptual models used in entity relationship diagrams. Although I ended up scrapping it, I started out using a seed database containing 300,000 employee records. I could see how powerful SQL might be in slicing and dicing real demographic data in various ways, depending on the use case.

This was an individual project. Thanks, as always, to my study group and TAs!
