Uses of Intranet

The document discusses the uses of intranets within organizations. Intranets allow for collaboration tools like project management and messaging. They also serve as platforms for corporate culture and sharing ideas. Larger companies widely use intranets which can see similar traffic volumes to public websites. Intranets connect parts of a company through firewalls while maintaining security and allowing the exchange of messages. When parts of an intranet are made accessible outside the company, they become parts of an extranet. Intranet growth has increased rapidly from 200,000 participants in 2001-2003 to 6 million in 2005-2007.

Uses of Intranet Intranet Uses

Below is the discussion about the uses of intranet.

Intranet offering various applications and different type of tools for productivity such as collaboration through which grouping and teleconferencing are possible, project supervision, business directories, sales, and customer relationship administration etc. Intranet also used in corporate culture platform to perform various task. Intranet forum application could guide new ideas in administration, excellence, efficiency and business issues. In large business companies where intranet working widely. The locations where traffic of public website similar to website traffic Intranet using metrics software to follow on the whole actions. Through intranet large business companies facilitate their customer to get access community internet all the way through firewall sever which have ability to sending and receiving of messages with intact security. When any part of intranet made accessible to users outside the business then this part turn out to be the part of extranet. Organizations may send and receive messages via public network within powerful security features to connect one part of the intranet to others. Most generally intranets are supervised by HR or CIO communications departments. The growth of intranet is increasing rapidly. According to the Intranet design annual 2007 the average of intranet participants is 200,000 in 2001 to 2003 and has grown of 6 million over 2005 to 2007.

INTEGRITY RULES
Click here for audio-text lecture and feed it to the speech agent Click here for an audio lecture that can be played using RealPlayer Integrity rules are needed to inform the DBMS about certain constraints in the real world. Specific integrity rules apply to one specific database. Example: part weights must be greater than zero. General integrity rules apply to all databases. Two general rules will be discussed to deal with: primary keys and foreign keys.

PRIMARY KEYS

Primary key is a unique identifier for a relation. There could be several candidate keys, as long as the they satisfy two properties: 1. uniqueness 2. minimality From the set of candidate keys, one is chosen to be the primary key. The others become alternate keys. EXAMPLE: The relation R has several candidate keys. ID SSN License_Number NAME If we select ID to be the primary key, then the other candidate keys become alternate keys.

THE ENTITY INTEGRITY RULE


No component of the primary key of a base relation is allowed to accept nulls.

WHAT ARE NULLS? Null may mean "property does not apply". For example, the supplier may be a country, in which case the attribute CITY has a null value because such property does not apply. Null may mean "value is unknown". For example, if the supplier is a person, then a null value for CITY attribute means we do not know the location of this supplier. Nulls cannot be in primary keys, but can be in alternate keys. EXAMPLE: SSN may be null for one and only one person (why?)

FOREIGN KEYS
A foreign key is an attribute of one relation R2, whose values are required to match those of the primary key of some other relation R1 (R1 and R2 can be identical) EXAMPLE: SP relation has attribute S#, and S relation has primary key S#. Then S# in SP is considered a foreign key. SP is called the "referencing relation". S is called the "referenced relation". We can draw a "referential diagram" SP ---S#---> S or simply SP --------> S

WHY ARE FOREIGN KEYS IMPORTANT?

Foreign-to-primary-key matching are the "glue" which holds the database together. Another way of saying it Foreign keys provide the "links" between two relations. A relation's foreign key can refer to the same relation. EXAMPLE: EMP ( EMP#, SALARY, MGR_EMP#, ... ) EMP# is the primary key MGR_EMP# is the foreign key EMP is a "self-referencing relation". THE REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY RULE The database must not contain any unmatched foreign key values.

REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY RULE


EXAMPLE: SP(S#,P#,QTY) SC(S#,CITY) CS(CITY,STATUS) The three 3NF relations are:

The SP DELETE We should not

referential ---S#---> SC INTEGRITY delete (S5,London) from SC

diagrams ---CITY--->

are: CS RULE:

if

S5

is

present

in

SP.

INSERT

INTEGRITY

RULE:

We should not insert (S3,P2,200) into SP unless S3 is present in SC.

(Please study these integrity rules in light of the "update anomalies" for non-3NF relations)
