Everything in 1 hour video in learning resources


Database systems – chapter 1 SLIDE

Data becomes info/knowledge after processing


Talks about video 1 in learning resources. About excel cons. = features of dbms

End users = bank customers


Dbms checks the validity of transaction and accpt /decline
Consistency – accuracy e.g if phone number changes, just let one dept know about the
change and they change it for all dept. if no dbms, inconsistency
Dbms – 4th generation – only what you want
3rd gen = what you want and how to do it
GMU – centralized db
GOOGLE/FACEBOOK – decentralized db (servers everywhere)

Multiple dbs and warehouse on top of it.


Walmart – particular location db – transactional (retrieve that locations data)
Walmart owner will use datawarehouse

Above data warehouse layer is data mining layer


Data mning = retrieve some facts/predict some facts which are not there and which aren’t
100% correct.

Text messages – unstructured data

Record is a ROW = 1 customer


Each column = field or attribute

Customer name is a metadata – provide more info related to our data (C_name = customer
name)

If ; is to be replaced by : and the code changes , it is structural dependent

Data dependence- if you have to change access

Redundancy = duplicate data


Hardware-memory/hdrive,software-servers etc/oracle/sql,people,procedures,data = 5
major parts of database system.

DBMS functions
Disadvantages

Database SYSTEMS CHAPTER 2 PPT

We’ll use Entity relational model(ERD) – easier to maintain-deals with structured data only

Dealing with semistructured/unstructured databases- NoSQL/mongoDb-big data with nosql


much easier to combine etc.
NoSQL not consistent right away – disadvantage.

Sometimes we use both NoSQL to narrow down search then Relational model on top of
that.

Hierarchial is not easy to maintain

Object oriented – has classes and all

Read documents in learning resources – why I should care about big data.
If your data keeps changing(velocity of data), its better to use NoSQL.
