Uses and Benefits of Client/Server Database Management Systems
Uses and Benefits of Client/Server Database Management SystemsAuthor: Ritchie SmytheAll organizations maintain and use data for day-to-day business operations. A database management system is the software that is used to store data, maintain those data, and provide easy access to stored data. It allows organizations to store data in a central location using a standard format.
Two Basic CategoriesBesides looking at the model used to store the data, Database Management Systems can be divided into two basic categories: personal databases and client/server databases. Many of the same concepts apply to both DBMS categories. The differences lie largely in the amount of data that can be stored, the number of concurrent users supported, networking capabilities, and the level of data security provided.Personal database management systems like Microsoft Access work best in single-user environments. The ideal environment is one user updating and reporting on the data from one PC. Although personal database management systems can be networked and shared, the general rule-of-thumb is that there should be no more than ten concurrent users. If security, network traffic, or the ability to recover from system failures is important, a client/server DBMS would be a better choice.Client/Server Database Management SystemsClient/server DBMS's are designed to support multiple users in a networked environment.
