Data Integrity
Data must be accurate. Data are RELATED to other data in your
database (e.g., library patron is related to the book(s) that s/he has checked out).
Maintaining the INTEGRITY of the relationship between different pieces of data is very important.• Example of compromised integrity: sending an
overdue notice to the wrong library patron

MS Access vs. MS Excel
The choice is simple:• IF you have only one-to-one
