A DBMS system does not need to provide protection and maintenance functions over a long period of time as it may be the responsibility of the storage or hardware boxes

Explanation

Other important functions provided by the DBMS include protecting the database and maintaining it over a long period of time. Protection includes system protection against hardware or software malfunction (or crashes) and security protection against unauthorized or malicious access. A typical large database may have a life cycle of many years, so the DBMS must be able to maintain the database system by allowing the system to evolve as requirements change over time.
