Database Management Systems
Database System Applications
• Database Management System (DBMS) contains information about a
particular enterprise
– Collection of interrelated data
– Set of programs to access the data
– An environment that is both convenient and efficient to use
• Database Applications:
– Banking: all transactions
– Airlines: reservations, schedules
– Universities: registration, grades
– Sales: customers, products, purchases
– Online retailers: order tracking, customized recommendations
– Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain
– Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions
• Databases touch all aspects of our lives

Data and Information
Data: Facts concerning things such as people, object, events etc.
e.g. students, the courses they are taking and their grades etc.
Information: Data that have been processed and presented in a form
suitable for human interpretation, often with the purpose of revealing
trends or patterns e.g. percentage enrollment in various courses,
enrollment projections, top rankers etc.
Steps in tranforming Data into Information
1. Acquisition: Acquiring data from the environment. This data acquired will be
in an unorganized form.
2. Storage: It is at this level the data starts transforming into information and
stored on a medium.
3. Manipulation: The stored information is manipulated according to the
requirements.
4. Retrieval: The information is retrieved from the storage medium.
5. Distribution: The retrieved information is distributed/presented to the users.

Drawbacks of File System
Data redundancy and inconsistency - Multiple file formats, duplication
of information in different files.
Difficulty in accessing data - Need to write a new program to carry out
each new task
Data isolation - multiple files and formats
Integrity problems - Integrity constraints (e.g. account balance > 0)
become “buried” in program code rather than being stated explicitly;
Hard to add new constraints or change existing ones
Atomicity of updates - Failures may leave database in an inconsistent
state with partial updates carried out; Example: Transfer of funds from
one account to another should either complete or not happen at all

Drawbacks of file systems (Cont.)
Concurrent access by multiple users - Concurrent access needed for
performance; Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to
inconsistencies. Example: Two people reading a balance and updating
it at the same time
Security problems - Hard to provide user access to some, but not all,
data
Database systems offerDB

Internet, on-line access – bank accounts, books, order - everything in
life

Database Approach
Many of the mentioned disadvantages are a result of the approach which
concentrates on the system’s processes first (process-driven
approach) and treats the data as inputs and outputs to those
processes. The database approach instead considers the system’s
data first (data-driven approach) and then identifies the processes
that interact with the data.
Designers have discovered that a combination of the two approaches is
usually the most appropriate. One reason for this is that there are
always new processes in organizations that require new data and the
structure of such data will be driven by the processes that use it.
DBMS consists of a collection of interrelated data and a set of programs
to access those data. The primary goal of a DBMS is to provide an
environment that makes it both convenient and efficient to retrieve and
store the database information.

DATA BASE LANGUAGE
Data Manipulation Language (DML)
Language for accessing and manipulating the data organized by
the appropriate data model
DML also known as query language
Two classes of languages
Procedural – user specifies what data is required and how to get
those data
Declarative (nonprocedural) – user specifies what data is
required without specifying how to get those data
SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most widely used query
language

Data Definition Language (DDL)
• Specification notation for defining the database schema
Example: create table account (
account_number char(10),
branch_name
char(10),
balance
integer)
• DDL compiler generates a set of tables stored in a data
dictionary
• Data dictionary contains metadata (i.e., data about data)
– Database schema
– Data storage and definition language
• Specifies the storage structure and access methods used
– Integrity constraints
• Domain constraints
• Referential integrity (e.g. branch_name must correspond
to a valid branch in the branch table)

Data Models
 A collection of tools for describing
- Data , Data relationships, Data semantics and Data constraints
 Relational model
 Entity-Relationship data model (mainly for database design)
 Object-based data models (Object-oriented and Object-relational)
 Semi structured data model (XML)
 Other older models: Network model & Hierarchical model
 A data model is a collection of concepts for describing data.
 A schema is a description of a particular collection of data, using a 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.

What Is a DBMS?
• A very large, integrated collection of data.
• Models real-world enterprise.
– Entities (e.g., students, courses)
– Relationships (e.g., Ravi is taking DBMS)
• A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software package
designed to store and manage databases.
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.

Why Study Databases??
• Shift from computation to information
• Datasets increasing in diversity and volume.
– Digital libraries, interactive video, Human Genome
project, Internet data
– ... need for DBMS exploding
• DBMS encompasses most of CS
– OS, languages, theory, AI, multimedia, logic

Files vs. DBMS
• Application must stage large datasets between main
memory and secondary storage (e.g., buffering, pageoriented access, 32-bit addressing, etc.)
• Special code for different queries
• Must protect data from inconsistency due to multiple
concurrent users
• Crash recovery
• Security and accessLevels
control
of Abstraction:
Physical level: describes how a record (e.g., customer) is stored.
Logical level: describes data stored in database, and the relationships
among the data.
type customer = record
customer_id : string;
customer_name : string;
customer_city : string;
end;
View level: application programs hide details of data types. Views can
also hide information (such as an employee’s salary) for security
purposes.

DBMS used to maintain, query large data sets.
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.
