A random assortment of data sets 

A large repository of unrelated information 

A collection of unorganized data 

A collection of interrelated data with an implicit meaning 

Because it stores data in multiple formats 

Due to excessive data redundancy 

Due to lack of proper data management 

Because of its complex functionality and ability to handle large data 

It makes the entire system dependent on a single point, impacting all users during failure 

It slows down data retrieval for global users 

It makes the system less complex 

It complicates database management tasks
