Correct Answer
B. Limited flexibility in accessing dataExplanation
The main limitation of Hierarchical Databases is limited flexibility in accessing data. In a hierarchical database, data is organized in a tree-like structure, where each record has a parent-child relationship. This structure makes it difficult to retrieve data that is not directly related or connected. Unlike relational databases, which allow for more complex and flexible queries, hierarchical databases have limited query capabilities. This limitation restricts the ability to efficiently access and retrieve data, especially when dealing with complex data relationships.Rate this question:
