history, changes in address, changes in income levels, privacy status, new
product categories bought recently

Hierarchical Database
![Page 18: Chapter 7: Using Databases](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555c49b9d8b42a2c068b53f8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
www.drvkumar.com Copyright Dr. V. Kumar, 2005

www.drvkumar.com Copyright Dr. V. Kumar, 2005
• Has the greatest flexibility, but slower speed
• Examples are Databases like Oracle, SQL Server, and Microsoft Access
• Users can create queries to extract information from these tables and recombine it
Relational Database
![Page 20: Chapter 7: Using Databases](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555c49b9d8b42a2c068b53f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
