    REVIEW QUESTIONS:

    1. Why are database systems important?


     Database System is important to business because they communicate information
    related to any sales transactions, product inventory, costumer profiles and marketing
    activities.

    2. What is data independence, and how important is it?


     Data independence is the immunity of application programs to changes in structure and
    access strategy of data. It is necessary for the following reasons: Different applications
    and users will need to have different logical views (interpretation) of data. The tuning of
    the system should not affect the application programs.
    3. What are the possible approaches to acquiring a DBS?
     There are five approaches to constructing a DBS. Three of them are traditional and are
    no longer used. The two contemporary approaches are the relational approach and the
    object-oriented approach. For various reasons, the relational approach is fundamental
    to a course in database systems.

    4. Compare the following:

     Database System (DBS) is a computerized record keeping system with the overall
    purpose of maintaining information and making it available whenever required. The
    database typically stores related data in a computer system while, Database
    Management System (DBMS) is a set of programs that allow for the management of a
    database.
     A database development life cycle (DDLC) may therefore be perceived from two
    perspectives: It may be viewed as being identical and concurrent with the SDLC. At each
    phase in the SDLC, consideration is given to the database as an integral part of the
    software product.

    5. Discuss briefly the following:

     Objectives of a DBS- are to facilitate the creation of data structures and relieve the programmer
    of the problems of setting up complicated files. Several primary and secondary objectives of a
    database system that should concern with the planning to design, construct, develop and
    implement a DBS.
     Advantages of a DBS - the biggest advantage of DBS checks, particularly for employers, are that
    they meet regulations and requirements. Hiring ineligible candidates can result in fines, but it is
    also relevant for insurance and tax purposes.
