Advantages of the Database Approach * == Data Independence == * The data is held in such a way that changes to the structure of the database do not effect any of the programs used to access the data. * == Consistency of Data == * Each item of data is held only once therefore no danger of item being updated on one system and not on another. * == Control Over Redundancy == * In a non-database system‚ the same information may be held on several files. This wastes space
