Advantages and Disadvantages of DBMS
Advantages and Disadvantages of DBMS
The DBMS serves as the intermediary between the user and the database.
The database structure itself is stored as a collection of files, So,
we can access the data in those files through the DBMS.
The DBMS receives all application requests and translates them into
the complex operations required to fulfill those requests. The DBMS
hides much of the database’s internal complexity from the application
programs and users.
The more users access the data, the greater the risks of data security
breaches. Corporations invest considerable amounts of time, effort,
and money to ensure that corporate data are used properly. A DBMS
provides a framework for better enforcement of data privacy and
security policies.
