TYPES OF DATABASES
• Numeric and Textual Databases
• Multimedia Databases
– store pictures, video clips, and sound messages
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
– store and analyze maps, weather data, and satellite images
• Data Warehouses and OnLine Analytical Processing
(OLAP)
– used in many companies to extract and analyze useful
information from very large databases for decision making
• Real-time and Active Databases
– used in controlling industrial and manufacturing processes
DBMS - Advantages
• Efficient - Able to handle large data sets and complex
queries without searching all files and data items.
• Convenient - Easy to write queries to retrieve data.
• Safe - Protects data from system failures and
hackers.
• Massive - Database sizes in gigabytes and terabytes.
• Persistent - Data exists after program execution
completes.
• Shared - More than one user can access and update
data at the same time while preserving consistency.
• Interrelated – True of relational DBMS.
DATABASE APPLICATIONS
• Enterprise Information
• Banking and Finance
• Universities
• Airlines
• Telecommunications
