Question

What are advantages and disadvantages of object relational database?

Answer 1

Relational databases are far more flexible (though harder to design and maintain) than what are known as flat file databases, which contain a single table of data. To understand the advantages of a relational database, imagine the needs of two small companies that take customer orders for their products.



One disadvantage of relational databases is the expensive of setting up and maintaining the database system. In order to set up a relational database, you generally need to purchase special software. If you are not a programmer, you can use any number of products to set up a relational database.
