BENEFITS OF USING A DBMS

BENEFITS OF USING A DBMS

 

Data are the crucial raw material from which information is derived, there are many reasons why DBMSs are important in our information-based.
Some of them are given below:

1.Since data are so important we must have a good way of managing each data. The DBMS helps make management much efficient and effective than it was before the DBMS became a reality.

2.The DBMS contains a quary language that makes it possible it produces quick answers to ad hoc queries. The facility to ask questions as and when the user wants is a capability that came with database management systems.
The file-based systems were mainly used for creating routine, predefined reports. But the query languages that are part of the database make querying a very easy and painless task. Also the graphical interfaces of today's query languages make it possible for a person not proficient in computer languages it database aspects to create and run a query. Thus the DBMS helps create an environment in which end users have better access to more and better managed data then they did before the DBMS became the data management standard. Such access makes it possible for end-users to respond quickly to changes in their environment.The availability of data, combined with the tools that transform data into usable information, empowers the end-users to make quick and informed decisions that can make the difference between success and failure in the global economy.

3.Wider access to well-managed data promotes an integrated view of the organization's operations. Thus, it becomes much easier to see how actions in one segment of the company affect other segments. The DBMS environment promotes a clearer view of the big picture. The probability of data inconsistency is greatly reduced in a properly designed database that is managed through a DBMS. Better data makes it possible to generate better information on which better decisions are based.

Thus a properly designed database and an efficient DBMS is a must for the success and survival in today's highly competitive environment.
