Database Management System  

SQL
 Data: Data is facts related to any object. It is a set of qualitative and
quantitative. It is unprocessed. Data can be alphanumeric, numeric, images etc. 
For Example-Test score of each student in a class is data & Average score of the class
is the information which is derived from the given data. 
 
 Types of data: The data is categorized in following three types: 
i. Raw data- unprocessed data, It can be in the form of files, visual
images, database records or any other digital data. Raw data is
extracted, analysed, processed and used by humans or purpose-built
software applications. 
ii. Derived data- data element derived from other elements using a
mathematical, logical or other types of transformation example: arithmetic
formula, composition aggregation. 
iii. Meta data: data about data i.e., information about the data itself. For
example- the metadata about a database object like table includes
information like the time of the creation of table, size of the table etc. 
 
 Database: collection of logically related data at one place. It consists of
collection of information that is organized so that it can be accessed,
manipulated easily. 
 File Management System: is a set of computer programs that maintains the
data stored by file system.  
Types of Files: 
i. Sequential or serial access files: Here, information is accessed in a
sequence, one after the another. The read & write operations occur
sequentially. 
ii. Direct access files: These files hold the fixed length records, hence
random access are possible. 
iii. Index sequential files: Here the key values are stored in a separate
index, which holds the address of Row data.
