Data access: Data stored in databases
must be accessible efficiently. Very large databases, such as those maintained
by eBay, have to be managed in a way that when users search within them, their
results should be available within a matter of seconds. A search in eBay
results in a response within a few seconds, even though the system has to
search through billions of records. Furthermore, the response from the database
has to be presented to the user in a manner that is easy to read and understand
which requires further processing.
