MANAGING DATA AND INFORMATION
Usually too much data rather than too little in
organizations
 How does an organization organize all this data and
information?


Database – a collection of integrated and related files

WHAT IS DATABASE TECHNOLOGY ?
 A collection
of related data organized in a
way that makes it valuable and useful
 Allows
organizations to retrieve, store, and
analyze information easily
 Is
vital to an organization’s success in
running operations and making decisions

DATABASE SYSTEMS ACTIVITIES
Employment
Applications
Enter
Forms
(Form Entry Screen)
– DATA ENTRY
Example
• Data is entered from paper employment
applications into a form entry screen
• The entry forms are designed to match the
paper forms for ease of entry
• The form data is processed by the entry
program and then stored in the employment
database
(Form Entry Program)
3-12
(Employment DB)
DATABASE SYSTEMS ACTIVITIES
– QUERY
Query – A database function that extracts and displays information from a database
given selection parameters.
SQL (Structured Query Language)
QBE (Query by Example)
Example – Display applicants entered in the last 30 days
Query parameters are selected in the query request screen
The database program uses SQL to query and present the
result
(Query Request)
(Query Program)
3-13
(Employment Query)
DATABASE SYSTEMS ACTIVITIES –
REPORT
Report – A database function that extracts and formats information
from a database for printing and presentation
Report Generator
Example – Report on applicants entered in the last 30 days
• Report parameters are selected in the report request screen
• The database program uses SQL to query and present the result
(Query Request)
(Query Program)

DESIGNING DATABASES – DATA MODEL
Data Model
• A map or diagram that represents entities and their
relationships
• Used by Database Administrators to design tables with
their corresponding associations
Example: ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram)
3-15
DESIGNING DATABASES – KEYS
Primary
Key
ENTITIES
- Student ID
Entities are translated
into Tables
(Students and Grades)
Secondary
Key
- Major
Entities are
joined by
common
attributes
Compound
Primary Key
- Student ID
- Course ID
- Sec No.
- Term
3-16
THE RELATIONAL MODEL
• Most common type of database model used today in
organizations
• Is a three-dimensional model compared to the
traditional two-dimensional database models
- Rows (first-dimension)
- Columns (second-dimension)
- Relationships (third-dimension)
3-17

ONLINE TRANSACTIONAL PROCESSING (OLTP)
Online Transactional Processing
• The mechanism by which customers, suppliers, and employees
process business transactions for an organization
• These users conduct transactions online through internal systems
and external websites for processing and storage

DATA WAREHOUSES, DATA MARTS, AND DATA
MINING

Data warehouse: collects business information from
many sources in the enterprise

Data mart: a subset of a data warehouse

Data mining: an information-analysis tool for automated
discovery of patterns and relationships in a data
warehouse or a data mart
Online Analytical
Processing -Graphical software tools
that provide complex analysis of data stored in a database
23
• Data warehouses are not
transaction-oriented.
24
• Data warehouses support
online analytical
processing (OLAP).

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT DEFINITIONS
Knowledge Management
The process an organization uses to gain the greatest value from
its knowledge assets
Knowledge Assets
All underlying skills routines, practices, principles, formulae,
methods, heuristics, and intuitions whether explicit or tacit
Explicit Knowledge
Tacit Knowledge
3-26
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (KMS)
Best Practices
Procedures and processes that are widely accepted as being among
the most effective and/or efficient
Primary Objective
How to recognize, generate, store, share, manage this tacit
knowledge (Best Practices) for deployment and use
Technology
Generally not a single technology but rather a collection of tools
that include communication technologies (e.g. e-mail,
groupware, instant messaging), and information storage and
retrieval systems (e.g. database management system) to meet the
Primary Objective
