CPE 011 – Database Management System


Summary:
➢ Data constitutes the building blocks of
information
➢ Information is produced by processing data.
➢ Information is used to reveal the meaning of
data.
➢ Accurate, relevant, and timely information is
the key to good decision making.
➢ Good decision making is the key to
organizational survival in a global
environment.

➢ The DBMS serves as the intermediary
between the user and the database.

The database structure itself is stored as a


collection of files, and the only way to access
the data in those files is through the DBMS.

➢ The DBMS receives all application


requests and translates them into the
complex operations required to fulfill those
requests
CPE 011 – Database Management System
➢ The DBMS hides much of the database’s
internal complexity from the application
programs and users.

➢ The application program might be written


by a programmer using a programming
language, such as Visual Basic, .NET,
Java, C#, or Python, or it might be created
through a DBMS utility program.

CPE 011 – Database Management System
A DBMS provides the following advantages:

Improved data sharing - The DBMS helps create an


environment in which end users have better access to more and
better-managed data.

Improved data security - The more users access the data, the
greater the risks of data security breaches. A DBMS provides a
framework for better enforcement of data privacy and security
policies.

Better data integration - Wider access to well-managed data


promotes an integrated view of the organization’s operations
and a clearer view of the big picture.
CPE 011 – Database Management System
A DBMS provides the following advantages:

Minimized data inconsistency - Data inconsistency exists


when different versions of the same data appears in different
places.

Improved data access - The DBMS makes it possible to


produce quick answers to ad hoc queries. From a database
perspective, a query is a specific request issued to the DBMS
for data manipulation—for example, to read or update the data.

Improved decision making - Better-managed data and


improved data access make it possible to generate better -
quality information, on which better decisions are based.
CPE 011 – Database Management System
A DBMS provides the following advantages:

Increased end-user productivity - The availability of data,


combined with the tools that transform data into usable
information, empowers end users to make quick, informed
decisions that can make the difference between success and
failure in the global economy.

Those are just some of the advantages. You will realize the
technical advantages of databases through the duration of the
course.

A DBMS can be used to build many different types of
databases. Each database stores a particular collection of data
and is used for a specific purpose.

CPE 011 – Database Management System


Examples of how databases can be classified are according to:
The number of users, the location, the usage, and the type of
data(structured, unstructured, semi-structured).

CPE 011 – Database Management System


Trends today Cloud Database and Cloud Computing and
NoSQL.

The challenge is the rise in large amounts of data.

A relational database cannot handle the exponential growth of


data being requested and stored. (Ex. Twitter 500 million tweets
per day, Facebook 500 TB data each day)

Scans are made over 200 TB of data each hour to process user
actions.

That is why new types of databases not based on the relational


database model were developed.
CPE 011 – Database Management System
Class research / Homework

• Research about the difference between Relational


Databases and Non-Relational Databases. Make sure to
explain their key differences and advantages.

• Research about and list down the different Relational and


Non-Relational Database Management Systems. Specify the
company/organization, and the unique features of the
different providers of the DBMS.

• Why Database Design is important?
