Data Rot

Data degraded or no longer readable because of media wear or hardware no longer viable.

Those reel to reel tape are over 10 years old. We no longer have the equipment to read them. Someone should have put the data on a disk instead of letting it go to Data Rot.

data dictionary

A data dictionary is (generally) a read-only set of tables and views that holds metadata - used in a database management system. The data dictionary may be considered a database in its own right.

Amongst other things, a Data Dictionary holds the following information:

*Usernames, Roles and Privileges
*Schema Objects
*Integrity Constraints
*Stored procedures and Triggers
*General Database Structure
*Audit information
*Space allocations

One benefit of a well prepared data dictionary is a consistency between data items across different tables.

several tables may hold telephone numbers, using a data dictionary the format of this telephone number field will be consistent.

Analyst: But if you just circle this area here, or highlight this product- look, it's not so bad!
