THE DATABASE ENVIRONMENT Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information. ~ T.S. Eliot ~ Learning Objectives Concretize the concepts of data, information, data management and metadata Explain what a database is and why databases are important Describe a database management system Differentiate between the DBMS and a database Describe the different data models and abstraction layers Explain the similarities and differences among DBMS products Explain DBMS history and modern uses Describe how data is physically stored in primary and secondary storage Before we begin…What’s… Data? Information? Data Management? Metadata? Query? Data or Information? Where’s the Data? Where’s the Metadata? Where is the: Data? MetaData? Activity: Data or Meta-Data? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Metadata can be data: The names of MP3 files in your personal collection. Actually it’s all about context! What is it, part duex! Database Database Management System (DBMS) Elements of a Database Database Meta-Data Data-Management Data “In” Information “Out” Data End-User DBMS is software. It stores the data/meta data and “enables” data-management Clarification via Family Guy Brian can write his novel on a typewriter or w/pen and paper.
