Q1: What Is the Purpose of a Database?
• Organize and keep track of things
• Keep track of multiple themes
• General rule:
 Single theme store in a spreadsheet
 Multiple themes require a database

Structured Query Language (SQL)
• SQL (see-quell)
– International standard
– Used by most popular DBMS
• SQL statement:
– INSERT INTO Student
([Student Number], [Student Name], HW1,
HW2, MidTerm)
– VALUES
(1000, ’Franklin, Benjamin’, 90, 95, 100);

Using MIS InClass 5: How Much Is a
Database Worth?
• Data has resale value
• Data on everything customers do
• Use to target customer for offerings they
care about, avoid those they don’t
• Costly and difficult to replace data collected
over many years

Multi-User Processing Problem
1. Process A reads
customer record
from file
containing
customer’s
account balance.

3. Process A
updates account
balance in its
copy of customer
record and writes
record to file.
2
2. Process B reads
same record
from same file,
now has its own
copy.
3
5. Process B writes
stale account
balance value to file,
causing changes
made by Process A to
be lost.

4. Process B has original stale
value for account balance.
Updates customer’s phone
number and writes
customer record to file.

Enterprise DBMS vs. Personal DBMS
• Enterprise DBMS process large organizational and
workgroup databases for 100s/1000s of users
• Personal DBMS designed for smaller databases
used by 1 to 100 users.

What Is the Entity-Relationship (E-R)
Data Model?
• Tool for constructing data models
• Describes contents of data model by
defining entities and relationships among
entities
• Unified Modeling Language (UML), less
popular, tool for data modeling

Steps for Transforming Data Model Into
a Database Design
1. Construct Adviser table and Student tables
with key fields
2. Represent relationships by adding foreign
keys
3. Create new table for N:M relationships

Q7: What Is the Users’ Role in the
Development of Databases?
• Define what data database must contain
• User review of data model is crucial
– Does model accurately reflect your
view of the business?
• Final approval of data models
• Devote time to do it right
Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
5-36
Q8: 2023?
• Volume of database data to grow exponentially
• Relational databases will look much different
• Use of non-relational data stores, called NoSQL will
be more common
• Major DBMS vendors lose out to open-source
products and shift focus to services supporting open
source software like Bigtable, Dynamo, Cassandra?
• Database models will be very different

Guide: No, Thanks, I’ll Use a
Spreadsheet
• Databases take time to build
• Complicated to operate
• Need IS people to create and keep them
running
• Salesman doesn’t want to share data
• Spreadsheets sometimes better option,
especially if data needs are simple
Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
5-38
Guide: Immanuel Kant, Data Modeler
• Perception of reality is based on our
perceptive apparatus.
• Brain processes perceptions into something
meaningful.
• Human’s model what appears to be.
• Users must determine if a data model fits
their perception of reality.

Case Study 5: Fail Away with Dynamo,
Bigtable, and Cassandra
• Current relational DBMS products not designed for
large, multi-server systems
• NoSQL databases – Dynamo, Bigtable, Cassandra
• Amazon: Dynamo
• Google: Bigtable processes petabytes of data on
hundreds of thousands of servers
• Both created to be elastic
• Cassandra used by Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit
