ADVANTAGES OF DATABASE
Security restrictions can be applied
Having complete authority over the operational data, enables the database administrator (DBA) in ensuring that the only means of access to the database is through proper channels.
The DBA can define authorization checks to be carried out whenever access to sensitive data is attempted. Different checks can be established for each type of access (retrieve, modify, delete, etc.) to every piece of information in the database.
Integrity can be maintained
Integrity means that the data in the database is accurate. Centralized control of the data helps in permitting the administrator to define integrity constraints to the data in the database.
Conflicting requirements can be balanced
Knowing the overall requirements helps the database designers in creating a database design that is best for the organization.
