Data maintenance involves the ongoing tasks of cleaning, updating, organizing, and validating data to keep it accurate, current, and usable over time. Database administrators and data stewards perform routine maintenance such as removing duplicates, correcting errors, archiving outdated records, and monitoring system performance. Consistent data maintenance prevents the accumulation of errors that can undermine reporting and decision-making.
