DFC20203 Database Design: Topic 1: Fundamentals of Database Management System

The document discusses fundamentals of database management systems. It defines a database as a shared collection of logically related data designed to meet an organization's information needs. Databases are used in businesses to store data, manage access rights, and allow users to query data quickly. Everyday examples where databases are important include banks, airports, universities, sales, factories, and telecommunications. The major steps in database development are requirements analysis, database design, and implementation. Database design includes logical and physical modeling. Implementation involves data loading, conversion, and testing. Databases allow data sharing and eliminate inconsistencies by storing related data in a single logical repository. Key properties of databases are completeness, integrity, flexibility, efficiency, and usability.

Uses of database in
the business world
▸ Store data and provide facilities of searching
specific record in given data.
▸ Solve cases where many users want to access
(and possibly change) the same entries of data.
▸ Manage access rights (who is allowed to see the
data, who can change it).
▸ Users asking questions to the database can get
an answer in reasonable time.
