Perry mentions that data in a file processing system may be repeated in several different files. He points out that problems can arise if updates to the data are not applied in every file. What is the name of this type of problem?
A) a data redundancy problem

D) a data rigidity problem

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a data integrity problem because the data is not consistent across all files, leading to potentially incorrect or inconsistent results. Data redundancy (A) refers to the storage of the same data in multiple locations or files, and while it can contribute to data integrity problems, it is not the specific issue described in the question. Data modeling (C) and data rigidity (D) are not relevant to the scenario described.
