Legacy system: It means old technology used in systems or old computer softwares or applications.
Now the tern legacy database system means that all the historic overview of database systems that which type of models and navigational systems were there in a database systems. Before going to the historic overview it is important to know about the database system introduction in complete detail then we will move to its model details of them.
Databse: The term database generally refers to the organized collection of well defined data.
Database Management Systems (DBMSs): Database management systems (DBMSs) are user made softwares that interacts with the user and the database itself to capture and analyze all the data. Normally DBMS is a software system that is designed for creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. Some well known databases are MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, FoxPro, FileMaker Pro. Database generally can’t interact with different datbase management systems but different database management systems like SQL and ODBC or JDBC can allow single database to interact with multiple database management systems. Databases are made to operate all type of informations by storing, retrieving and managing that informations. Databases are made so that user can interact with databases itself. DBMS is usually responsible for mainting all the data in a system and if that data lost then DBMS will restore the data itself. Databases are used for business operations but increasing number of database systems are usually made for more stable interaction with the users. Some users of database applications are end users means they don’t know about any of its in processing applications they ...

... used to speak to information in information warehouses in a manner that information could be effectively abridged utilizing online expository handling, or OLAP questions. In the dimensional model, a database outline comprises of a solitary vast table of truths that are portrayed utilizing dimensions and measures. A dimension gives the setting of a certainty, (for example) when and where it happened, and its write) and is utilized within inquiries to assembly related realities together. Dimensions have a tendency to be discrete and are regularly hierarchical; for instance, the area may incorporate the building, state, and nation. A measure is an amount depicting the truth, for example, income. It is vital that measures might be definitively accumulated for instance, the income from diverse areas could be included.
Now we will discuss the main and important databases
1.1 Describe Systems and Procedures for Storing and Retrieving Information Collect documents to be filed, sort in to alphabetical, numerical or chronological order, find the relevant file and place the document inside after it’s divider, and return the file to its original place. Confidential files should be kept in a lockable cabinet and old documents should be shredded after the length of time outlined by the organisation. Electronic filing is similar but on the computer. It is important to name files so that they are easily recognisable by everyone who may need to access it. If the information is confidential it should be encrypted with a password to prevent unauthorised access.

Variety. Variety is the different data types, representation and semantic interpretation. Dumbill (2012: 7) declares that “rarely does data present itself in a form perfectly ordered and ready for processing - it could be text from social networks, image data, a raw feed directly from a sensor source”.
In 1977, Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates founded System Development Laboratories. After being inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher titled “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” they decided to build a new type of database called a relational database system. The original project on the relational database system was for the government (Central Intelligence Agency) and was dubbed ‘Oracle.’ They thought this would be appropriate because the meaning of Oracle is source of wisdom.

The term legacy system has distinct meanings for different individuals. For numerous people, it describes archaic mainframe or dumb-terminal software programs from the 1970s and 1980s (Weber, 2006). To other individuals, it may infer the client/server applications from the 1990s or web applications from the late 1990s (Weber, 2006). The chief point is that each one of these distinct architectures presents different risks that must be thoroughly understood and properly managed (Weber, 2006).
Databases are becoming as common in the workplace as the stapler. Businesses use databases to keep track of payroll, vacations, inventory, and a multitude of other taske of which are to vast to mention here. Basically businesses use databases anytime a large amount of data must be stored in such a manor that it can easily be searched, categorized and recalled in different means that can be easily read and understood by the end user. Databases are used extensively where I work. In fact, since Hyperion Solutions is a database and financial intelligence software developing company we produce one. To keep the material within scope I shall narrow the use of databases down to what we use just in the Orlando office of Hyperion Solutions alone.
A database management system, or DBMS, gives the user access to their data and helps them transform the data into information. Such database management systems include dBase, Paradox, IMS, and Oracle. These systems allow users to create, update, and extract information from their databases. Compared to a manual filing system, the biggest advantages to a computerized database system are speed, accuracy, and accessibility.

The Database Management System (DBMS) is software that enables the users to define, create, maintain and control the access to the database. It is a software that interact with the user’s applications programs and it database. Meanwhile, information retrieval system is a system that involved the activity that the systems obtain the information. The obtaining information action need the information from it resources.
A database management system in the main software tool of the database management approach because it controls the creation, maintenance, and use of the database of an organization and its users. The three major functions of a database management system are first to create new database and database application. Second to maintain the quality of the data in an organized database. And last to use the database of an organization to provide the information that its end users need. An example of a database management approach in a banking information system. Note how the savings, checking and installment loan programs use a database management system to share a customer database. Note also that the database management system allows a user to make direct, ad hoc interrogations of the database without using application programs.

An operating system (OS) is a software program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. The operating system programs make system resources available to user(s), the user’s application programs and to other application programs running on the computer.

In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
Modern information system is now popular all over the world, it also change the accounting area. Instead of the old manual analysis, many companies making effort in developing a fitted accounting information system for themselves, as they realize the advantages that the new technology brings in - more efficient and accurate in processing, integrated data, detailed record etc. However, even though there are so many benefits, the functional system also brings challenges, making new requirements to the accountants and auditors. This paper will discuss the impact of technology to the accounting information system, as well as the necessary capability ethics that the accountants should learn in this 21th century.
