Abstract

Data base integrity refers to both the accuracy and the availability of the data base. If a data base has integrity, then it is a correct and dependable model of the organization’s information processing requirements. To maintain the integrity of a data base, the dba must be able to ensure both the quality of the data base contents and the correctness of the processing applied against that data base.
