Conventional database management systems

AbstractBefore the advent of Database Management Systems, computer programmers or developers spent a lot of time writing codes to create and manage databases also known as data files before venturing into the actual programming work, thereby making it possible for only trained computer professionals to operate and manipulate databases or data files. It left the programmers who are targeting high performance application to deal with first data integrity and security challenges, inefficient process to access and manipulate stored data, data recovery challenges in the case of crashes and many other challenges. In this paper, we present a review of the traditional database management system (DBMS).First; we gave a detailed explanation of the meaning, types and uses of a database management system. We highlighted the features of Conventional Database Management Systems and the challenges it faces today especially in the handling of high-profile data for many enterprise systems, hardware requirements, human resources, network challenges and costs are also discussed in this research. Finally, we propose a solution to the challenges facing the conventional database system. From our findings, we discovered that the Big Data technology is a potential solution to the limitations of the conventional database management systems. This research will be beneficial to scholars and researchers who are interested in Database management systems.
