Decoupling the data from the system applications is a major difference between the database approach and the applications approach and is known as:
A)data independence
B)data manipulation
C)data redundancy
D)query language

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Data independence is the ability to modify the structure of the database without affecting the applications that use it. In a database approach, data is separated from the applications, which allows for easier maintenance, scalability, and flexibility. This is not the case in an application approach where the data is tightly coupled with the applications. Data manipulation (B) refers to the process of inserting, deleting or updating data in a database. Data redundancy (C) occurs when the same data is stored multiple times in a database. Query language (D) refers to a programming language used to retrieve and manipulate data from a database. While important, it does not directly relate to the concept of decoupling data from the applications.
