Let's pretend that your job entails inventory management for a popcorn manufacturer. Any establishment that doesn't have at least 15 boxes of caramel popcorn in stock must receive more of it each month. If you were to use a database to accomplish this, how would you go about doing so?
How does the database rank in terms of Big O notation for the time it takes to run an operation? In that case, I can handle the extra chore. A typical number of deletions during a single operation is. Even if it were only ever used in a single commercial, it wouldn't matter. Just just doing one online search?
