Naive or Parametric End Users
These are the users who basically make up a sizeable portion of database end-users. The main job function revolves basically around constantly querying and updating the database for this we basically use a standard type of query known as the canned transaction that has been programmed and tested. These users need to learn very little about the facilities provided by the DBMS they basically have to understand the users’ interfaces of the standard transaction designed and implemented for their use. The following tasks are basically performed by Naive end-users:
- The person who is working in the bank will basically tell us the account balance and post-withdrawal and deposits.
- Reservation clerks for airlines, railways, hotels, and car rental companies basically check availability for a given request and make the reservation.
- Clerks who are working at receiving end for shipping companies enter the package identified via barcodes and descriptive information through buttons to update a central database of received and in-transit packages.
