A company with thousands of clients can have databases that are tens of gigabytes in size. Unfortunately, as databases grow, so do the problems. We'll discuss some of the more common data entry and database problems and how to fix them or even avoid them, when possible.One of the main causes of database problems is with the data entry personnel themselves. Each database program has a certain level of tolerance. Some are more tolerant than others.
