In this post I will present a large part of the real business that belong to databases. Database's solutions in this big business area can not be solved by using „Anchor modeling" , at all.
In the real business world this case is happening on a daily basis. That is the case when data entry person, enters a wrong data.
In real-world business, errors happen frequently at data entry level. It often happens that data entry generates large amounts of erroneous data. So this is a real and big problem. "Anchor modeling" can not solve this problem.
Anyone who uses the "Anchor Modeling" database can enter incorrect data. This is possible because the authors of "Anchor modeling" have written that the erroneous data can be deleted.
Let me explain this problem by the following example:
A profesor of mathematics gave the best grade to the student who had the worst grade. In this high school, professors enter grades in the corressponding database. This student gave money to the professor for this criminal service. The student managed to enroll at the university using this false grade.
After a summer holiday, the professor of mathematics returned to school. After deleting the wrong grade from the database, the professor entered the correct one in the database. In this school they use "Anchor Modeling" db. So the math profesor deleted false data as it is strictly suggested by authors of "Anchor modeling".
Now, this professor of mathematics who did this criminal act is clean, thanks to the software "Anchor modeling".
This example says that using "Anchor Modeling," you can do crime with data just by applying „Anchor modeling technology“
In section 5.4 the authors of „Anchor modeling“ wrote the following: „Delete statements are allowed only when applied to remove erroneous data.“ .
You can see this text at the paper „ An agile modeling technique using sixth normal form for structurally evolving data“ written by authors of „Anchor modeling“.
Please note that „Anchor modeling“ was presented at the 28th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling and won the best paper award?!
Authors of "Anchor Modeling" claim that their data model can maintain a history! However this example shoes that „Anchor modeling“ can not maintain the history at all.
As „Anchor modeling“ allows deletion of data, then "Anchor modeling" has all the operations with the data, that is: adding new data, deleting data and update. Update can be obtained by using two operations: first delete the data, then add new data.
This further means that Anchor modeling has no history, because it has data deletion and data update.
I would like to point out that in "Anchor modeling" each erroneous data "MUST" be deleted. In the "Anchor modeling" it is not possible to keep erroneous data and corrected data.
"Anchor modeling" can not maintain history of erroneous data.
In the first part of this post, I showed that by using "Anchor Modeling" anyone can do crime with data. This means "Anchor Modeling" runs the business of a company, right into a disaster.
