What is the danger of a bad database?
Expensive, Time wasting, Unhappy customers!
Firstly, a good database is wonderful. It saves time and energy and enables you to manage complex systems with a realistic data model and therefore deliver more to your customers with your existing staff.
However, if your database has come into existence more by accidental evolution rather than by planned design, there are common faults which tend to occur. Examples of these may be:
- The one table database, with hundreds of columns
- Multiple databases with partial copies of data in each other
- Data loss / deletion
- Slow Performance
These can all lead in various ways to an unhappy experience for staff and customers. Huge amounts of time and effort will have to be spent fixing data mistakes which, with a good design, need never occur.
