What is inconsistency?
Short answer. Copies of the same data that no longer agree.
Why does it happen with files?
Each office keeps its own unlinked copy.
Same data, three files
| File | City |
|---|---|
| Teacher | Surat |
| Library | Ahmedabad |
| Transport | Ahmedabad |
Remember
| Redundancy: data repeated |
| Inconsistency: copies differ |
Riya moved to Surat. Why did the bus go to Ahmedabad? Three files store her city. Only the teacher's file says Surat. Library and transport still say Ahmedabad. Redundancy means data is repeated. Inconsistency means copies differ.
