Hints

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

Hint 1

Think about the data, the users and the security needed.

Hint 2

A desktop database suits one user; a server database suits many 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. Scalability and data volume: how much data will be stored and how fast it will grow; a desktop database suits small volumes.

    1 mark

  2. Collaboration and accessibility: how many users will capture or use the data at the same time and whether access is over a LAN or the Internet; many simultaneous users need a server database.

    1 mark

  3. Security and data integrity: how sensitive the data is and what control over access and backup is needed, along with the hardware and operating system available.

    1 mark

Answer: Scalability (volume and growth of data), collaboration/accessibility (number of users and access over LAN/Internet), and security/data integrity (with available hardware)

Where the marks are

  • 1 mark for each of three considerations (3 marks)
