...with large amount of data require a software that is able to organize the data and in the database. Therefore the primary use of a database management system is its ability to collect data, store and transmute it into informative information that can help business make decisions. In order to make this possible, a database must be able to reduce data redundancy, inconsistency, upsurge security features, reliability and allow concurrent access of the data and improve accuracy and accuracy. The most important purpose of such a database is to provide automated methods that are able to develop, store and retrieve data more efficiently (Chapman, 2014). There are several drawbacks that are associated with the use of conventional file systems. This is because of the fact that most of such databases applications are developed on top of an existing file system. For this reason, the following problems are expected. To begin with, is redundancy; it is a situation where a lot of file formats together with duplicate information is found in different files (Gillenson, 2005). Accessing such data is difficult and the duplication of data in a file system may sometimes require a new program to be written. Another problem associated with conventional file systems is the difficult in file isolation. This is due to the multiple files and formats in the system that makes it difficult to isolate files from each other (Chapman, 2014). There is also the issue of integrity which is evident in case there...

...proposed system, along with the uses of the Website and database system. Moreover, this chapter will also present the computer programming language,, and methodologies used in the development of the system. 2.1 Introduction The basis of the development of a completely computer-based information system is very important. Such features that are comprise hereto include the database system, it consist of the Database Management System (DBMS) which is designed to manage all databases. The database is the most important structure of an information system. In this chapter, the theories used in the development of the proposed system will be discussed. In line with this is the database system, which uses a normalized database to encapsulate the constructs of a data model, to eliminate data redundancy, organized data effectively and to trim down irregularities during data operations. Another is the used of the Third-Generation Programming Language, also known as 3GL Computer Language like Visual Basic 6, a further advanced language to enable a more user-friendly interface in the system. Correspondingly, with the incorporation used of Structured Query Language or SQL to create, modify, retrieve, and operate data. other nodes is also the Graphical User interface or GUI to utilize the graphical images and text to signifies information for the end users. Indeed, GUI will aid the user to have an ease in navigating modules of the proposed system. Generally, the Systems Development...

A.D ABDULAZEEZ ABDULLAHI BELLO | Question 1: What are the challenges construction Organizations face in using traditional form of records management? Question 2: What if any software do construction organizations use in processing and managing project records Introduction No government body or business could survive without making records of its activities. No office could operate successfully if it had to rely on memory alone to keep track of every transaction. Without records, all organised administration would quickly come to a halt. Records, and more specifically the information they contain, are one of the vital resources that an organisation needs to conduct its operations effectively. No organisation could continue without funding, personnel and material supplies. Similarly, it could not operate if it did not keep accurate and accessible records ...
