Information

At this time I tried to give an information about the data base within the organization. The word data base we often hear but we are still thinking about how the process of formation of data bases and what data base, then it is here I’ll give a little information about the data base and data base within the organization in particular.

The database has played an important role along with the growing use of computers. The word database can be called as a collection of interrelated data. While the data can be called as a fact that is recorded. An example is the name, NIM, address, sex, and hobbies. To record all required data then can be stored in the address book, or to store them on disks, using personal computers and software such as dBASE IV, PARADOX, or EXCEL.

Some understanding of the data base:

1. The database is a collection of information stored in the computer in a systematic way so that it can be checked using a computer program to obtain information from the database.
2. A database is a representation of a collection of facts that are interconnected stored together in such a way and without repetition (redundancy), to meet various needs.
3. The database is a collection of related information on a subject on purpose.
4. A database is a comprehensive array of operational data records from an organization or company, organized and stored in an integrated way by using certain methods in the computer so as to meet the optimal information needed by the user.

The database has a crucial role in an organization, and utilized for a number of objectives that support the main objective of this organisasi.Saat database is needed so badly in the world of work whatever and wherever, then use the data base has a major role and very important.

The primary role of the database are as follows:

1. Availability: database must be organized in such a way that data is always available when needed, although the physical storage of data files do not have to be at one location, but with computer network technology, these data files are logically available to users.

2. Speed and convenience: the database must be ensure that the data can be accessed easily and quickly when necessary because in the organization, data base needs to brief and quick service so that it can shorten the time.

3. Completeness: data stored in the database must be complete, in other words to serve all the needs of its users, although the complete word is relative to the needs of everyone, but database ensure ease of adding data collection, ensuring ease of modifying the data structures such as the addition of field- data field.

4. Accuracy: data in the database files are organized in such a way as to suppress the errors at the time of entry (dataentry) and on storage (Datastore).

5. Security: A good database system must provide facilities to secure data so that data can not be accessed, modified, altered, or removed by people who were not given rights. Database system should be able to determine who is allowed to access the data who should not, as such data can be secured.

6. Storage efficiency (space / storage efficiency): organization database created in such a way as to avoid duplication of data (redundancy), because duplication increases the data storage space. Coding system and data relationships that applied to the data base can save storage space.

7. Use together (data sharing): The user database is often not limited to one user only, or in a single location or by a system / application only. The database can be used by multiple users, for example by a number of departments within the company or by multiple systems such as payroll systems, accounting systems, inventory systems, etc.). To meet the goal should be managed by the system (application) that support multiuser environment.

DATABASE APPLICATION

Computing devices in an organization is usually used to perform the function Pengeloalaan Information System. And the database is one of the main components in each system information. There is no information system that can be created / executed without any database.
