Grading Policies
• Policy on missed midterm:
– no make-up exam
• Lateness policy:
– Every student has a total of 5 days for late submission for
assignments. One can spend this credit for any of the assignments
or distribute it for all. If total of late submissions exceeds the limit,
a penalty of 10*day*day is applied.
• All assignments and programs are to be your own
work. No group projects or assignments are
allowed.

Motivation
 Most computers are used for data processing.
A big growth area in the “information age”
 This course covers data processing from a
computer science perspective:
–
–
–
–
Storage of data
Organization of data
Access to data
Processing of data
CENG 351

Data Structures vs File Structures
• Both involve:
– Representation of Data
+
– Operations for accessing data
• Difference:
– Data structures: deal with data in main memory
– File structures: deal with data in secondary
storage

Computer Architecture

(RAM)
- Semiconductors

- disks, tape
Secondary

CENG 351
- Slow,cheap,

11
Advantages
•
•
•
Main memory is fast
Secondary storage is big (because it is cheap)
Secondary storage is stable (non-volatile) i.e.
data is not lost during power failures
Disadvantages
•
•
•
Main memory is small. Many databases are too
large to fit in main memory (MM).
Main memory is volatile, i.e. data is lost during
power failures.
Secondary storage is slow (10,000 times slower
than MM)
CENG 351
12
How fast is main memory?
• Typical time for getting info from:
Main memory: ~12 nanosec = 120 x 10-9 sec
Magnetic disks: ~30 milisec = 30 x 10-3 sec
• An analogy keeping same time proportion
as above:
Looking at the index of a book : 20 sec
versus
Going to the library: 58 days
CENG 351
13
Normal Arrangement
•
•
•
•
Secondary storage (SS) provides reliable, longterm storage for large volumes of data
At any given time, we are usually interested in
only a small portion of the data
This data is loaded temporarily into main
memory, where it can be rapidly manipulated
and processed.
As our interests shift, data is transferred
automatically between MM and SS, so the data
we are focused on is always in MM.
CENG 351

Goal of the file structures
• Minimize the number of trips to the disk in
order to get desired information
• Grouping related information so that we are
likely to get everything we need with only
one trip to the disk.
CENG 351
15
Physical Files and Logical Files
• physical file: a collection of bytes stored on a disk or
tape
• logical file: a "channel" (like a telephone line) that
connects the program to a physical file
• The program (application) sends (or receives) bytes
to (from) a file through the logical file. The program
knows nothing about where the bytes go (came from).
• The operating system is responsible for associating a
logical file in a program to a physical file in disk or
tape. Writing to or reading from a file in a program is
done through the operating system.
CENG 351
16
Files
• The physical file has a name, for instance
myfile.txt
• The logical file has a logical name (a
varibale) inside the program.
– In C :
FILE * outfile;
– In C++:
fstream outfile;

File Systems
• Data is not scattered hither and thither on
disk.
• Instead, it is organized into files.
• Files are organized into records.
• Records are organized into fields.
CENG 351
19
Example
• A student file may be a collection of student
records, one record for each student
• Each student record may have several fields, such
as
–
–
–
–
–
–
Name
Address
Student number
Gender
Age
GPA
• Typically, each record in a file has the same fields.
CENG 351
20
Properties of Files
1) Persistance: Data written into a file
persists after the program stops, so the
data can be used later.
2) Sharability: Data stored in files can be
shared by many programs and users
simultaneously.
3) Size: Data files can be very large.
Typically, they cannot fit into main
memory.

Database Management System (DBMS)
Database System
23
Basic Definitions
• Data: Known facts that can be recorded and have an implicit
meaning.
• Database: A collection of related data.
• Database Management System (DBMS): A software
package/ system to facilitate the creation and maintenance of a
computerized database.
• Database System: The DBMS software together with the data
itself. Sometimes, the applications are also included.
24
Files vs. DBMS
• Application must stage large datasets between
main memory and secondary storage (e.g.,
buffering, page-oriented access, etc.)
• Special code for different queries
• Must protect data from inconsistency due to
multiple concurrent users
• Crash recovery
• Security and access control
25
Typical DBMS Functionality
• Define a database : in terms of data types,
structures and constraints
• Construct or load the database on a secondary
storage medium
• Manipulating the database : querying, generating
reports, insertions, deletions and modifications to
its content
• Concurrent Processing and Sharing by a set of
users and programs – yet, keeping all data valid and
consistent
26
Data Models
 A data model is a collection of concepts for
describing data.
 A schema is a description of a particular
collection of data, using the given data model.
 The relational model of data is the most widely
used model today.
– Main concept: relation, basically a table with rows and
columns.
– Every relation has a schema, which describes the
columns, or fields.
27
Example: University Database
 Conceptual schema:
–
–
–
Students(sid: string, name: string, login: string,
age: integer, gpa:real)
Courses(cid: string, cname:string, credits:integer)
Enrolled(sid:string, cid:string, grade:string)
 Physical schema:
–
–
Relations stored as unordered files.
Index on first column of Students.
 External Schema (View):
–
Course_info(cid:string,enrollment:integer)

Levels of Abstraction
 Many external schemata,
single conceptual(logical)
schema and physical
schema.
– External schemata describe
how users see the data.
– Conceptual schema defines
logical structure
– Physical schema describes the
files and indexes used.

* Schemas are defined using DDL; data is modified/queried using DML.

Data Independence
 Applications insulated from how data is structured
and stored.
 Logical data independence: Protection from
changes in logical structure of data.
 Physical data independence: Protection from
changes in physical structure of data.
* One of the most important benefits of using a DBMS!
31

Structure of a DBMS
 A typical DBMS has a
layered architecture.
 This is one of several
possible architectures;
each system has its own
variations.
