Abstract

This article addresses the data integrity issues and security risks created by the advent of end user computing. The author proposes possible alternatives which do not inhibit the growth of end user computing, yet provide support to the data base administrator's function. Activities such as uploading and downloading, data editing, and concurrency control are also discussed in this paper. In addition, microcomputer networking is proposed as one means by which a data base administrator may insure data integrity and security in an end user environment.
