True or false? Because multiple users are allowed to access the same database file simultaneously, the DBMS must provide extra layers of protection for the data.
true
Because multiple users can access a database file at the same time, the DBMS must use advanced security measures to protect the individual data elements. If one user wants to change a patient's telephone number and another user wants to change the patient's insurance carrier, they can do so. However, if both users want to change the patient's telephone number at the same time (an unusual situation but not unheard of), one user must wait until the other is finished. This level of wait is in milliseconds and usually is not obvious to the users.
