Benefits of Database Sharing

Some benefits of database sharing are:

Security administration workload is reduced. You only need to maintain records on one set of databases instead of several databases.
Security administration time is reduced. Because you have to maintain fewer records, you need less maintenance time. Administration time normally spent in switching from system to system is also saved.
Accuracy and organization of records is increased. In most cases, you must only check one set of records for accuracy. Having fewer records to maintain also makes it easier for you to locate information.
Easier for users to maintain. If you work with several operating systems, you need to be concerned with only one logonid record and one password.
