SPRING 2004S CENG 352 5 Course Outline • The Relational Data Model, Relational Algebra and Calculus, SQL • Query Evaluation and Optimization • Relational Database Design and Tuning • Transaction Management, Concurrency Control and Crash Recovery • Database Security and Authorization • Parallel and Distributed Databases • Object-Database Systems • Information Retrieval and XML Data SPRING 2004S CENG 352 6 What is a Database Management System? • A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software package designed to store and manage databases: 1. Manages very large amounts of data. 2. Supports efficient access to very large amounts of data. 3. Supports concurrent access to very large amounts of data. • Example: bank and its ATM machines. 4. Supports secure, atomic access to very large amounts of data. • Contrast two people editing the same UNIX file – last to write “wins” – with the problem if two people deduct money from the same account via ATM machines at the same time – new balance is wrong whichever writes last. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 7 Example: Online Bookseller • Data = information on books (including categories, bestsellers, etc.), customers, pending orders, order histories, trends and preferences, etc. – Massive: many gigabytes at a minimum for mediumsize bookseller, more if keep all order histories over all time, even more if keep images of book covers and sample pages => Far too big for memory – Persistent: data outlives programs that operate on it – Multi-user: many people/programs accessing same database, or even same data, simultaneously => Need careful controls SPRING 2004S CENG 352 8 Files vs. DBMS • Application must stage large datasets between main memory and secondary storage (e.g., buffering, page-oriented access, 32-bit addressing, etc.) • Special code for different queries • Must protect data from inconsistency due to multiple concurrent users • Crash recovery • Security and access control SPRING 2004S CENG 352 9 What is a Relational Database? • Based on the relational model (tables): acct # 12345 34567 … name Sally Sue … balance 1000.21 285.48 … • Today used in most DBMS's. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 10 The DBMS Marketplace • Relational DBMS companies – Oracle, Sybase – are among the largest software companies in the world. • IBM offers its relational DB2 system. With IMS, a nonrelational system, IBM is by some accounts the largest DBMS vendor in the world. • Microsoft offers SQL-Server, plus Microsoft Access for the cheap DBMS on the desktop, answered by “lite” systems from other competitors. • Relational companies also challenged by “object-oriented DB” companies. • But countered with “object-relational” systems, which retain the relational core while allowing type extension as in OO systems. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 11 Three Aspects to Studying DBMS's 1. Modeling and design of databases. – Allows exploration of issues before committing to an implementation. 2. Programming: queries and DB operations like update. – SQL = “intergalactic dataspeak.” 3. DBMS implementation. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 12 Query Languages Employee Name Department Dept Dept Manager SQL SELECT Manager FROM Employee, Department WHERE Employee.name = "Clark Kent” AND Employee.Dept = Department.Dept Query Language Data definition language (DDL) ~ like type defs in C or Pascal Data Manipulation Language (DML) Query (SELECT) UPDATE < relation name > SET <attribute> = < new-value> WHERE <condition> SPRING 2004S CENG 352 13 Host Languages C, C++, Java, Lisp, COBOL Application prog. Calls to DB DBMS Local Vars (Memory) (Storage) • Host language is completely general (Turing complete) • Query language—less general "non procedural" and optimizable SPRING 2004S CENG 352 14 Relational Model Relational model is good for: • Large amounts of data —> simple operations • Navigate among small number of relations Difficult Applications for relational model: • VLSI Design (CAD in general) • CASE • Graphical Data SPRING 2004S CENG 352 15 Other Models Where number of "relations" is large, relationships are complex •Object Data Model •Logic Data Model OBJECT DATA MODEL 1. Complex Objects – Nested Structure (pointers or references) 2. Encapsulation, set of Methods/Access functions 3. Object Identity 4. Inheritance – Defining new classes like old classes Object model: usually find objects via explicit navigation Also query language in some systems SPRING 2004S CENG 352 16 Other Models LOGIC (Horn Clause) DATA MODEL • Prolog, Datalog: if A1 and A2 then B B:- A1 and A2 • Functions s(5) = 6 (successor) • Predicates with Arguments: sum(X,Y,Z) X + Y = Z sum(X,0,X) means X + 0 = X (always true for all X) sum(X,s(Y),s(Z)):-sum(X,Y,Z) means X+(Y+1) = (Z+1) if X +Y=Z • More powerful than relational Can Compute Transitive Closure edge(X,Y). path(X,Y) :- edge(X,Y). path(X,Z) :- path(X,Y) & edge(Y,Z). SPRING 2004S CENG 352 17 Data Models 60’s Hierarchical Network 70's 80's Choice for most new applications Relational 90’s Object Bases Knowledge Bases now SPRING 2004S CENG 352 18 Why Use a DBMS? • • • • • Data independence and efficient access. Reduced application development time. Data integrity and security. Uniform data administration. Concurrent access, recovery from crashes. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 19 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! SPRING 2004S CENG 352 20 Levels of Abstraction • Many views, single View 1 View 2 View 3 conceptual (logical) schema and physical schema. Conceptual Schema – – – Views describe how users see the data. Conceptual schema defines logical structure Physical schema describes the files and indexes used. Physical Schema * Schemas are defined using DDL; data is modified/queried using DML. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 21 Concurrency Control • Concurrent execution of user programs is essential for good DBMS performance. – Because disk accesses are frequent, and relatively slow, it is important to keep the cpu humming by working on several user programs concurrently. • Interleaving actions of different user programs can lead to inconsistency: e.g., check is cleared while account balance is being computed. • DBMS ensures such problems don’t arise: users can pretend they are using a single-user system. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 22 Transaction: An Execution of a DB Program • Key concept is transaction, which is an atomic sequence of database actions (reads/writes). • Each transaction, executed completely, must leave the DB in a consistent state if DB is consistent when the transaction begins. – – – Users can specify some simple integrity constraints on the data, and the DBMS will enforce these constraints. Beyond this, the DBMS does not really understand the semantics of the data. (e.g., it does not understand how the interest on a bank account is computed). Thus, ensuring that a transaction (run alone) preserves consistency is ultimately the user’s responsibility! SPRING 2004S CENG 352 23 Scheduling Concurrent Transactions • DBMS ensures that execution of {T1, ... , Tn} is equivalent to some serial execution T1’ ... Tn’. – – – Before reading/writing an object, a transaction requests a lock on the object, and waits till the DBMS gives it the lock. All locks are released at the end of the transaction. (Strict 2PL locking protocol.) Idea: If an action of Ti (say, writing X) affects Tj (which perhaps reads X), one of them, say Ti, will obtain the lock on X first and Tj is forced to wait until Ti completes; this effectively orders the transactions. What if Tj already has a lock on Y and Ti later requests a lock on Y? (Deadlock!) Ti or Tj is aborted and restarted! SPRING 2004S CENG 352 24 Ensuring Atomicity • DBMS ensures atomicity (all-or-nothing property) even if system crashes in the middle of a Xact. • Idea: Keep a log (history) of all actions carried out by the DBMS while executing a set of Xacts: – – Before a change is made to the database, the corresponding log entry is forced to a safe location. (WAL protocol; OS support for this is often inadequate.) After a crash, the effects of partially executed transactions are undone using the log. (Thanks to WAL, if log entry wasn’t saved before the crash, corresponding change was not applied to database!) SPRING 2004S CENG 352 25 The Log • The following actions are recorded in the log: – Ti writes an object: The old value and the new value. • Log record must go to disk before the changed page! – Ti commits/aborts: A log record indicating this action. • Log records chained together by Xact id, so it’s easy to undo a specific Xact (e.g., to resolve a deadlock). • Log is often duplexed and archived on “stable” storage. • All log related activities (and in fact, all CC related activities such as lock/unlock, dealing with deadlocks etc.) are handled transparently by the DBMS. SPRING 2004S CENG 352 26 Databases make these folks happy • End users and DBMS vendors • DB application programmers – e.g., smart webmasters • Database administrator (DBA) – – – – Designs logical /physical schemas Handles security and authorization Data availability, crash recovery Database tuning as needs evolve Must understand how a DBMS works! SPRING 2004S CENG 352 27 Structure of a DBMS • A typical DBMS has a layered architecture. • The figure does not show the concurrency control and recovery components. • This is one of several possible architectures; each system has its own variations. These layers must consider concurrency control and recovery Query Optimization and Execution Relational Operators Files and Access Methods Buffer Management Disk Space Management DB SPRING 2004S CENG 352 28 Summary • DBMS used to maintain, query large datasets. • Benefits include recovery from system crashes, concurrent access, quick application development, data integrity and security. • Levels of abstraction give data independence. • A DBMS typically has a layered architecture. • DBAs hold responsible jobs and are well-paid! • DBMS R&D is one of the broadest, most exciting areas in CS.
