DBA HW - Information Systems W6

Now that you have considered the building cost, and the DBA activities needed to maintain an actual database, consider the additional effort needed to input data into the database by users to keep the contents of the database current and error free(these are users tasked with inputting data, not regular users who only want to get and use the data) in your corporate (where you work now or have worked in the past) and personal databases (resources – dollars or people hours and other input? Getting this quantitative information may be difficult, but I want you to provide at least an estimate if historical records are not available)?This discussion question is the other part of database maintenance picture which is often overlooked when estimating the resources actually used to maintain a database (the remaining part of the discussion that we have been considering the last couple of units). Provide this information for either one example of a personal database, or one example of a corporate database that you are familiar with. Even if you are not experienced with databases yourself, the idea is to go find out about the effort needed to maintain the data current through inputting new and updated data, and make sure you provide appropriate releasable citations for your references. This question in not concerned with the effort to initially build/develop and populate a database, or the DBA activities, but instead the ongoing/long term effort to keep the data in the DBMS current (up to date and accurate). As always, for those of you in the military, if you use one of your database systems, make sure the information is releasable. And for those who will interview someone to get the information to answer this question, make sure you provide a personal reference for that person. - 1 Page Minimum - 2 References Minimum
