A unified MDB schema means only one database to administer rather than many which makes the management data easier and less expensive to manage. On demand reporting, data mining, and other (non-product) operations that use the MDB become easier. The MDB uses a relational database management system, so its data is available and accessible through the well-established, easy to use Structured Query Language (SQL). In addition to ease of data access, relational database management systems provide a high degree of reliability, availability, and scalability as well as good performance and cluster support. Since the MDB uses a relational database management system, it inherits these advantages.
