Abstract |
Day by day, data are being generated and in a very large volume, especially with the emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Some of the data generated are for long term usage, while some are for short term usage. Some may be needed for a very long term but may not be actively needed, some space need to be created for them where they can be kept in safety for recall when they are needed. This is what database archiving is all about. At a very short space, technology keep evolving, new apps and newer models are manufactured, old ones go into extinction, and accessibility of the archived data becomes a problem etc. This paper therefore discusses those best practices that would enable data objects in databases being archived to continue to be relevant and accessible. The concept of database, types of database and benefits, types of database archiving, challenges of database archiving, benefits of database archiving etc are looked into.
