Which of the following would benefit from the use of a database to manage data? Choose all that apply.

Answer
A
the physics department library at a university
B
a company’s marketing e-mail program
C
a table for keeping track of allowance money
D
a table of values that needs to undergo complex calculations
E
a list of students enrolled at a college

Explanation

A database is useful for organizing and searching many related records. A university library can track books and loans, a marketing e-mail program can manage contacts and campaign information, and a college can maintain student enrollment records. A simple allowance table may not need a database, while a table used for complex calculations is usually better handled by a spreadsheet or calculation tool.
