c) The selection of DBMS software is critical to the information system’s smooth operation. Consequently, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed DBMS software should be carefully studied. To avoid false expectations, the end user must be made aware of the limitations of both the DBMS and the database. Although the factors that affect the purchasing decision vary from company to company, discuss some of the most common factors that affects the purchasing decision for DBMS software.

d) The selection of DBMS software is crucial to the seamless operation of the information system. As a result, the benefits and drawbacks of the suggested DBMS software should be thoroughly investigated. To avoid misleading expectations, the end user must be made aware of both the DBMS and the database's constraints. Although the elements that influence the purchase decision differ from one firm to the next, this article will explore some of the most prevalent aspects that influence the purchasing choice for DBMS software.
While developing a database, do ethical considerations need to be taken into account at any point? Unresolved is the issue of whether or not sensitive personal data (such medical information, for example) should be kept in the same database management system (DBMS) that maintains data on employee pay and benefits.
Please enumerate and briefly describe each of the three steps involved in the physical design. The administration of database recovery may make use of these four backup levels in whatever combination they see fit. What exactly is the function of each successive level of backups?
When developing a database, are there any ethical problems to consider? Whether sensitive personal data (such as medical information) should be housed in the same database management system (DBMS) that manages employee income and benefits data is an open question.
Could you explain the responsibilities of a database administrator? What should be his top priorities at work, assuming there are any?
Should databases be subjected to an ethical evaluation? It is best practise to avoid storing sensitive personal information in the same database management system (DBMS) as employee pay and benefits information (such as medical information), in certain circumstances.
Justify your response by providing a condensed explanation of the three stages of the physical design process.The administration of the database's recovery may be accomplished using any one of these three tiers of backups. The particular task that each successive level of backup solves.
What are the potential pitfalls of having insufficient database normalization?
Make a list of the five database management functions. Explain the consequences of not fulfilling each responsibility's obligation.
Make a list of the five database administration functions. Explain the repercussions of failing to meet the obligations of each responsibility.
If one department makes a change that impacts another, what complications could arise with the external database model? Do you have any advice for preventing these issues?
Are there any moral issues to bear in mind while building a database? Consider if medical data, for example, should be stored in the same database management system (DBMS) that manages employee compensation and benefits information. Why is this happening, or why is it not happening?
