Week 1

Data Redundancy occurs when the same data is stored unnecessarily in multiple
places.
It can lead to poor data security because the more copies there are of data, the
more chances that exist for the data to have unauthorised access.
It can also lead to inconsistent data if an update of existing data hasnt changed
all versions of the same data. Likewise manual data entry errors are more likely
to occur when the same data has to be imputed multiple times.
A data anomaly is likely to occur. These include:
Update - when lots of data has to be updated
Insert sometimes dummy data entries have to be made
Delete when you delete a single file and related files get deleted in the process.
