Database solutions

To manage data and company wide information effectively requires a database management system. This enables vital information to be stored in a central location where access to data can be controlled using password protection for groups or individuals.
A good design structure for any RDMS (Relational Database Management System) is essential. Information should only be stored once and never duplicated. All information entered into a database should comply with rules set up to ensure the integrity of the data. Primary keys and foreign key fields should be defined to ensure reliable relationships between the seperate database tables.
A PostgreSQL RDMS is an ideal repository for company wide information and provides a secure environment to hold sensitive data. PostgreSQL can be installed onto an SME server or onto a seperate database server within the same network. Choose the right solution for your business

Using a RDMS for the company intranet or a business web site is a good example where data kept in a central location can be used to deliver web pages accross the internet. Changes can be made to the web site information held in the database without the need for any downtime. This is a big advantage for an ecommerce site where downtime can result in lost custom.
