It takes forever to find things.
Data ages and is difficult to update.
Fire hazard.
Duplicate entries, because it is hard to find.
Storage limitations. It takes up room.
Paper-based database is a collection of data on paper. There are many disadvantages when using paper-based database, some of the disadvantages are: Difficulty in sorting data, changes are done manually, no security, difficulties in sorting data.
Disadvantage is that it's bulky and you can only search by a single parameter ( either name or date etc).The disadvantages would be that it is very hard to sort out all the information and you might not be able to search for information
Some disadvantages of a paper-based database include limited storage capacity, difficulty in organizing and searching for information, and vulnerability to physical damage or loss. Additionally, paper-based databases are less efficient in terms of retrieval and sharing of data compared to digital databases.
Some disadvantages of a paper-based database include limited storage capacity, difficulty in organizing and retrieving information, and susceptibility to damage from physical elements such as fire or water. Additionally, sharing and distributing information can be cumbersome compared to electronic databases.
If it is filing cabinet it may be hard to find the specific file you are searching for , also if there is a fire you will ose all the data however this problem can be solved by a computer-based data base
you could get your head stapled to the paper and will die....

One paper-based database I can readily think of is a phone book. Paper based database is database that consists of many papers, not a e-database! Paper-based communicaton is anything written, drawn or printed.

Limited storage capacity compared to digital databases, making it difficult to scale as data grows. Susceptibility to physical damage, such as fire or water damage, risking loss of important information.
Computerised data is on a computer (well yah) and a paper database is on a peice of paper ( XD ). It is also easier with a Computerised database as it is easier!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
if the computer crashes you can't use it.
