Structural strengths
Article Abstract:
Traditional file structures are not suitable for integrated corporate systems therefore databases which are managed by database management systems (DMBS) should be used. Traditional methods of storing information, on a computer, are useful for stand-alone systems, such as a tenant file. But for usage by several departments the traditional approach leads to data being held on file in more than one area, which can cause data redundancy and inconsistency. The storage of data by a DBMS can be made on three types of database, network, relational and hierarchical.
