advantages and disadvantages of using a relational database rather than a flat file database
Answers
Answer:
Databases Relational over Flat File
Advantages
Data Integrity, You Only need to change the data in one of the tables, it will then update itself
Data Redundancy, By having a relational databse it ensures that no attributes are repeated
Data Consistency, There is no chance of the same attribute being stored in a different format in a different file
Data Flexibility, When dealing with queries, it gets much easier creating deeper queries with a relational Databse
Greater Efficiency, as you only have to input the data only once into a relational database it saves time and human resources
Disadvantages
Complex, Relational databases can be very complex and without the necessary training can be very hard to break down.
Expensive, Relational databases are mostly commercial and require the user to buy that piece of software or licenses for more than one machine
