Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Think about the data, the users and the access route.

Hint 2

A desktop database suits one user; a server database suits many users at once.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. What data is to be stored, how much of it, and how it will grow, which decides whether a single-user desktop database is enough.

    1 mark

  2. Who will capture, modify and use the data and how often: many users working at the same time need a server database.

    1 mark

  3. How it will be accessed (over a LAN or the Internet, or by other front-end applications) and what hardware and operating system are available.

    1 mark

Answer: Any three: what data is to be stored; who will capture or modify it and how often; who will use it and for what tasks; whether other front-end applications will use it; access over LAN/Internet; available hardware and operating system
