Fun with databases

[Steve Rindsberg]

Speaking of databases, I thought you'd enjoy this question that appeared in one of the MS Office support newsgroups.

"Advantages of having correct data in database?"

That was it.

I tried on several possible answers, but they either descended into ridicule or left me thinking "If the answer to that isn't self-evident to you, nothing I can say will help you, other than perhaps 'Seek professional help'"

A homework question, I suspected, but that led me to wonder about where the teacher might have mislaid his or her head.
