Computers in Accounting Test - 4

A  database -management system (DBMS) is a computer-software application that interacts with end-users, other applications, and the  database  itself to capture and analyze  data . A general-purpose DBMS allows the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. Data Base Management System it is computerizes accounting record keeping system that allows access to data contained in a database.

Readymade  softwares are the softwares that are developed not for any specific user but for the users in general. Since, the  readymade  softwares are for general user, it is not necessary that all the modules of such softwares are of use for every user.

Scanner and keyboard are the input device to

Computer has some features which are high speed, reliability and accuracy etc. computer never be unreliable.

Disk defragments, Data compression and SQL are not utility software.

Computer works with their central processing unit which has three parts as Control unit, memory unit and logical unit.

A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data. Computer is a machine which is a data processor that can perform substantial computations, including numerous arithmetic & logical operations, with intervention by a human operator during the run.

Greater consistency is a distinct feature of a DBMS not a limitation.

When we want to connect our computer to other's computer is called Connectivity.

Full form of DBMS is Data Base Management System it is computerizes record keeping system that allows access to data contained in a database.

Management information system ( MIS ) refers to the processing of information through computers and other intelligent devices to manage and support managerial decisions within an organization. This provides the needed information to the managers to manage the organization effectively.

Scanner, keyboard are the input device to a computer but Monitor works as a output device.

Hardware oriented procedure provides details about the components and their methods of operations. Several indexing methods are based on bit-matrix representations of clauses in a procedure. They are field encoding, superimposed coding with embedded position and variables, and superimposed coding with external variables.

Impact storage media is an internal storage device not a secondary storage device.

In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Printer is a output device which is used for producing information as a hard copy.

A database  is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed and updated.  Data  is organized into rows, columns and tables, and it is indexed to make it easier to find relevant information.

SQL  (pronounced "ess-que-el") stands for Structured Query Language.  SQL  is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems.

Structured Query Language is a 4th generation Computer Programming language which greatly facilitates the writing of a program or application by the programmer in one tenth of time taken in older & third generation language like COBOL.

System software  is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application  programs . If we think of the computer  system  as a layered model, the  system software  is the interface between the hardware and user applications. Computer works on a set of programs which control the operations & help processing called system software as WIN 7 or MS DOS etc.

Computers are used to do risky and dangerous work and where sharp actually is needed. But it does not have any intelligence of its own.

Computer have some limitations as are:

Lack of feeling

Lack of decision making

Lack of common sense

An  accounting information system  (AIS) is a structure that a business uses to collect, store, manage, process, retrieve and report its financial data so that it can be used by accountants, consultants, business analysts, managers, chief financial officers (CFOs), auditors and regulatory and tax agencies.

Full form of AIS is Accounting information System. It helps in storage, processing, summarizing & reporting information about a organization.

Management information system ( MIS ) refers to the processing of information through computers and other intelligent devices to manage and support managerial decisions within an organization.
