Question

Question 2
A company has 1,000 stores around the country. Each store tracks its inventory in live time using its point-of-sale system. Every night, each store's inventory data is sent to a central database. When customers go to the company's website, they can check if their local store has a particular item in stock, which the website does by querying the central database. Unfortunately, customers are coming to stores and finding that the item they want is sold out, even though the website said it was available. What data integrity problem does this scenario describe?

.

Replication



Transfer



Gathering



Manipulation

Answer 1

Gathering — the central database is only updated nightly, so the collected data is stale and doesn't reflect real‑time store inventory.
