 DVD Rental Database
A business on DVD Rental is a real life example of database application.
For instance the enterprise may track information about DVDs, employees,
customers and their phone numbers and the movies they offer along with details
such as their genre, addresses, ages...
Without the use of the database system the rental shop has to maintain scattered
DVD records and customer information. A centralized database will help to
provide general accessibility to this information as well as ensuring that the data
is preserved more securely.
The system may provide not only the features stated above and some other
features .
