    Area of Science:

    • Information Science
    • Computer Science
    • Database Management

    Background:

    • Inefficient database management leads to data redundancy, increasing retrieval times and storage requirements.
    • Overzealous data tracking can negatively impact user productivity.
    • Critical evaluation of data necessity and retrieval ease is essential for effective database use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline principles for efficient database management.
    • To guide users in assessing data tracking necessity and utility.
    • To provide a framework for selecting appropriate database management systems (DBMS).

    Main Methods:

    • Proposes a questioning approach to evaluate data tracking: Would data be tracked without a computer? Is the data useful? Is it easily retrievable?
