1.3: Databases
Compact Storage - The use of a database allows for the compact storage of all important site information. It allows the data to be stored in a structured manner and all access rights can be controlled through the CMS.
Speed of Data Manipulation - The database engine has special methods which allow for the retrieval of data in an optimal fashion. The use of indexing tables can futher enhance the rapid retrieval of content data.
Database (DB) Engine Interface - With most database engines using standard SQL, it is possible to remove the specific type of database from the equation. The creation of a DB interface for a new DB engine is a simple process and allows the CMS to run on many modern DB engines without problems. This effectively allows the CMS to be platform independent.
Secure Storage - The access of data from a DB is controlled by a username and password, which means only the CMS has the ability to access the information stored within the DB engine. This removes the possibility of a third party being able to access the files for a website and potentially creating a security risk.
