    1. The file-based system has disadvantages like security issues as data is not protected from unwanted access, which can lead to data theft or modification. It also causes data redundancy as the same data is stored across multiple files. There is also no backup or recovery method. 2. A DBMS improves data sharing, security, and consistency. It allows for faster and more secure data access. The DBMS also automatically handles backup and recovery to prevent data loss from crashes or failures. All data remains consistent for all users.

    1. Discuss the disadvantages of file-based system. Please relate your discussion


    to the assignment case study
    1. Discuss the advantages of Database and DBMS and functions of DBMS. Please relate your
    discussion to the assignment case study

    1. The drawback of file-based system is the security problem of the member’s


    information because cannot be protected from unwanted access. It may lead
    to unauthorized access of data and the information also can easily modify
    and change the data that stored in the files by everyone. For instance,
    actually the information of member cannot be able to view by other, but the
    file-based system, application is added haphazardly by various program.
    Hence, the information theft might be occurred in e-bookstore therefore the
    information of member personal information may be stolen and used by
    third party in order to some negative action.

    Besides, the most significant disadvantage is data redundancy. This situation


    will happen in e-bookstore because the files and applications are created by
    different database from various departments. Therefore, when a field needs
    to be updated in more than one tables, it will happen in file-based system.
    For example, when the member is purchase more than one, the same
    information will be being kept in several different files so that results in
    more expensive storage.

    The third drawback for file-based system is the lack of a data backup and
    recovery method. For example, if a file-based system is compromised by
    hackers, all members' data would be lost. As a result, the user must
    manually enter data for all members because a file-based system cannot
    backup data and has no recovery method.
    2. The advantage of DBMS is it can improve data sharing and data security. It
    can help users share the data faster, effectively, and securely across the e-
    bookstore. By providing quick solutions to database files, a data
    management system enables faster access to more accurate data. Besides, a
    DBMS has a specialized features that help provide shielding to the data and
    information to ensure that the member’s personal information is more
    secure.

    Besides, the benefits of DBMS can recovery and backup. DBMS


    automatically takes care of recovery and backup. The users are not required
    to take periodical backup as this is taken care of by DBMS. DBMS also
    restores a database after a system failure or crash to prevent its precious
    condition. For instance, the user is no need to scare about they forgot to save
    their information and accidentally delete the information.

    In addition to that, data consistency is one of the benefits in DBMS. All data
    displays consistently across the database, and the data is the same for all
    users that browse the database. Furthermore, any changes made to the
    database are promptly reflected to all users, and no data inconsistency
    exists. For example, the data of member will not has a repetition value
    because it just allowed only the numerical values so that did not have data
    redundancy.
