Choosing a Database for Your Organizationhttp://databases.about.com/od/administration/a/choosing_a_db.htmLeventhal, A. H. (2013). A file system all its own. Communications of the ACM, 56(5), 64-69.Based on the reading, comment on the relative benefits and limitations of using the database capabilities of spreadsheets, desktop-based database management systems, and server-based database management systems. (Note: The SLP for Module 1 should provide you with an introduction to some of the more advanced database functions in Excel if you are not already familiar with them.) In addition, discuss the databases that you use or are used in your workplace. Are these spreadsheets, desktop-based database management systems, or server-based database management systems? Do you think that these are the appropriate form for storing and accessing your organization’s data?
