Border State Bank

I can see you're trying to build a database of companies. It looks like you're starting with information about Border Bank. Here's a breakdown of the data you've provided and some suggestions for structuring it: **Data Structure** You're using a JSON format, which is a good choice for storing structured data. Here's how I'd suggest organizing it: ```json { "name": "Border Bank", "industry": "Banking", "country": "United States", "state": "MN", "city": "Badger", "employees": "15", "revenue": "$50M", "url": "border.bank", "bio": "For over 80 years, Border Bank has proudly served residents and businesses providing friendly, personalized service that is focused on its customers. The bank has eleven locations across Minnesota and North Dakota to serve its customers – Badger, Baudette, Clearbrook, Coon Rapids, Fargo, Greenbush, International Falls, Middle River, Roseau, and Thief River Falls. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of service and benefits designed around our customers’ needs and wants; this is the foundation of Border Bank and a guide that is used every day to serve our customers.\n\nBorder Bank is a Member FDIC, Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and an Equal Housing Lender - NMLS# 704691." } ``` **Key Points** * **Consistency:** Use consistent formatting for data types (e.g., numbers, dates, URLs). * **Clear Labels:** Use descriptive field names (e.g., "revenue" instead of "rev"). * **Data Types:** Consider using appropriate data types for each field (e.g., "employees" as a number, "revenue" as a string). **Expanding Your Database** To make your database more useful, you could add more fields: * **Founded:** Year the company was established * **CEO:** Name of the current CEO * **Products/Services:** List of the bank's offerings * **Contact Information:** Phone number, email address * **Social Media Links:** Links to the bank's social media profiles **Tools for Managing Your Database** * **Spreadsheets:** Good for small databases, but can become unwieldy as they grow. * **Databases:** Specialized software like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB are better for larger, more complex databases. * **NoSQL Databases:** Like MongoDB, are good for handling unstructured or semi-structured data.
