message: i think the appropriat german article of "data integrity" is "Integrität (Informationssicherheit)" and not "Konsistenz (Datenbank)". if that is correct, please change it in the english article

message: Data integrity is basically a synonym for preventing data corruption. The literal meaning of "data integrity" could encompass everything from automated software data validity checks, to maintenance like defragmentation. Even something like manual data entry quality control fits under that umbrella. I propose merging this article into the Data corruption article. Badon (talk) 17:15, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Alternatively, it looks like this article has already been written from the database point of view, and so could probably be merged  into Database integrity instead. Thoughts? Badon (talk) 17:17, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Agreed This is necessarily related to Database integrity and this article isn't too long.— Supuhstar  * § 16:19, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propose merging with Data corruption article 

message: I made a ton of changes. Citations and more to come when I have time. Data integrity is far wider in scope than database integrity. Database integrity deals with a lot of the logical aspects of data integrity and even some of the physical demands such as ACID compliance, but there's a ton of other stuff that deals very directly with data integrity in a far more general way. I think database integrity is an important subtopic, perhaps even large enough to have its own dedicated article that this one can link to, but I don't think it should be merged. If there is a special page on database integrity it should also examine non-relational databases and general methods they employ to maintain their integrity. Relational databases are popular and flexible but there are other options that sometimes are a better choice. For example HTTP sessions are rarely stored in a relational database, yet their data integrity is critical as they are authentication tokens. TCP maintains data integrity of a communications channel via checksums - it's no database.
File systems and storage arrays deal with data integrity but we don't typically think of them as databases, certainly not relational ones at that. This is an enormous topic. I was kind of shocked to see so little on it, so I started editing. I think the article should remain fairly broad as this subject touches a great number of other highly technical aspects, each with their respective articles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vcfahrenbruck (talk • contribs) 13:45, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
