DBMS in non commercial environment

Answer 1

DBMS in Commercial Environment

In large groups of business companies which they have to work under the commercial environment, they have to manage large amount of data regarding their business. Filing all those data manually, is not practical which will be time consuming, data might get repeat in several locations, when data entering lot of mistakes can happen, data is not up to date, no secure for company information. Other than all these drawbacks, the biggest disadvantage is difficult to make quick decisions within a short period and producing reports to measure the company status. But if a company has a database system, all the above mentioned problems can be solved easily. Other than that, decision-making and report handling can be done within seconds. Because in a DBMS, data is stored in a way that end user can handle them easily at any requested situation.

Example:

Banking system, financial companies

If we take banking system, For example in Commercial Bank they have systems like ATM, different kinds of accounts, etc. These systems are saved in database. As banking system is linked with database it's called commercial environment.

DBMS in Non-Commercial Environment

Social service associations, government public service departments come under the non-commercial environment. In this situation large amount of data has to be handled by these organizations, which they have to share the data within many numbers of departments. If the organization doesn't have the DBMS, data will get repeated in several locations which are unnecessary and time consuming effort. When transferring data from one department to the other, data might get miss placed and perhaps data might get destroyed forever. And also one person can handle one particular data set at a time. Others have to wait until they get it to their hand. But in a DBMS data is stored in a centralized database which will enable multi users to access data at the same time. No data repetitions in many files, data is much more secure, providing user authentications will control the user access to the data and also can have backups to recover data when need.

Example:Railway system, oil system, hospital system

If we take oil system there is no database for this as no need to save the data for oiling the path. So it's called non commercial environment.
