048. What are Personal
databases and what issues must we be aware of?
Personal/User Databases. These
are databases that are developed, used and maintained primarily by individual
users. Some of the key issues with departmental Personal include:
·
Should the
Application be purchased or developed in-house?
·
If it is
developed in-house, should it be developed by the IT department or the user?
·
What data is
required and how should it be designed?
·
Who will be
responsible for the database management?
