Q

All 5 Disadvantages of File Processing Systems

A

Program-Data Dependence, Duplication of Data, Limited Data Sharing, Lengthy Development Times, Excessive Program Maintenance

17
Q

This system was early approach to managing data in computer systems before the advent of modern database management systems.

A

File Processing System

18
Q

In file processing systems, file descriptions were embedded within each application program that accessed the file. This tight coupling between programs and data structures meant that any change to the file structure required modifications to all programs using that file.

A

Program-Data Dependence

19
Q

Applications were often developed independently, leading to unplanned data duplication across multiple files

A

Duplication of Data

20
Q

Each application typically had its own private files, making it difficult for users to share data outside their specific applications

A

Limited Data Sharing

21
Q

Developers had to start from scratch when creating new applications, designing new file formats and descriptions, and writing file access logic for each new program

A

Lengthy Development Times

22
Q

The combination of the above factors resulted in a heavy program maintenance load for organizations relying on traditional file processing systems

A

Excessive Program Maintenance

23
Q

It is a method of organizing and managing data that addresses many of the limitations of traditional file processing systems.

A

The database approach

24
Q

Are graphical systems used to capture the nature and relationships among data

A

Data Models

25
Q

A person, a place, an object, an event, or a concept in the user environment about which the organization wishes to maintain data

A

Entities

26
Q

A well-structured database establishes the relationships between entities that exist in organizational data so that the desired information can be retrieved

A

Relationships

27
Q

A database that represents data as a collection of tables in which all data relationships are represented by common values in related tables.

A
