Answer to Question #153276 in Computer Networks for Djoukang Temfack Samanta Samira

Question

Give two advantages of a database package over a spreadsheet to manage school information

Answer 1

• Data Quality Checks. The database allows for certain variables to be set as the only possible entries. Spreadsheets allow value categories such as numbers, but not the customization of the database.
• Resource Efficiency. A spreadsheet is stored in a computer's random access memory while it is being used. A database only has to load the data being worked with into the RAM meaning only parts of a large database are used at any given time.
