This trick may not really impress your developer, but it will make you seem a little less clueless.
Here’s what you do…if the subject of databases comes up, and if you have a POS system that you’re trying to synch with your web site, they probably will, find an excuse to draw the symbol below, ideally with lots of arrows coming out of it or pointing towards it.
It may look like a simple drawing of a cylinder, but it’s really the universal sign for database. Not everyone knows this, so if you do, you’ll look slightly less clueless than the average person working with a web developer.
What you choose to do with this “in-the-knowness” is up to you!
