DATABASE

Database is any collection of data or information that has been particularly structured for quick search and retrieval by a computer, often known as an electronic database. (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica, 2018)

ADVANTAGES OF USING DATABASE

  • improves employee productivity and data sharing
  • zero redundant data
  • gives data greater security and privacy.
  • demonstrates the larger picture
  • increases your capacity to generate more revenue
  • ensures data consistency
(Valcheva, 2020)

  • OBJECT ORIENTED DATABASE: As in object-oriented programming, information in an object-oriented database is represented as objects. 
  • DISTRIBUTED DATABASE: It consists of two or more files hosted in separate locations. The database could be stored on numerous computers, all in the same physical place, or spread across multiple networks.  
  • DATA WAREHOUSE: A data warehouse is a sort of database that is specifically intended for fast query and analysis. 
  •  OPEN SOURCE DATABASE:  It is one whose source code is freely available; such databases could be SQL or NoSQL. 
  • CLOUD DATABASE: it is a set of structured or unstructured data stored on a private, public, or hybrid cloud computing platform. Traditional cloud database models and database as a service models exist (DBaaS). Administrative and maintenance chores are handled by a service provider with DBaaS.
