I want students to have access to the same database in every course module (they will be accumulating materials for their final project). How do I do this? Duplicate and move? Many thanks.
If you duplicate it, you will have the same dataset but a different database instance in each course.
If you want one database accessible from all courses, you can add it to the front page and put a link to it in all courses (hyperlink in html block, url activity, or just a hyperlink wherever you need it).
You will need to change the “default role for front page” to “student” though - see https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Front_page_FAQ#How_do_I_enable_logged-in_users_to_participate_in_front_page_activities.3F

Thank you Jon. From your information, I gather that I can just use hyperlinks in different modules within the same course. Correct?
Yes - the hyperlinks in the modules are going to be the same link, all linking to the one database.
