If my student(s) want to create a website with a database storing information to use in marketing the customers (say in a mail-merge), would this be a non-linear solution?
3. Provided that the data is transferred from the email (submitted from the website form) to the database automatically then it would be non-linear. However, if the data from the email has to be retyped then this isn’t one system carrying out the processing and is effectively two systems and would therefore be linear.
