LAB ACTIVITY 1: Fundamentals of Database


Management System
Duration: 4 Hours

Learning Outcomes
This activity encompasses activities 1A, 1B and 1C.

By the end of this tutorial session, you should be able to:


1. Define Database Management System (DBMS)
2. Identify various common DBMS.

Activity 1A
Activity Outcome: Define Database Management System (DBMS).

Briefly explain in your own words the definitions below.

Database

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

Database Management System

A software program that typically operates on a database server or main frame


system to manage structured data, accept queries from users, and respond to those
queries.
Activity 1B
Activity Outcome: Identify various common DBMS.

In group of two, list the common DMBS use in database management.

Open Source Software


• MySQL
• Maria DB
• SQLite
• Altibase

Licence software
• MongoDB
• PostgreSQL.
• IBM DB2.
• Oracle
Activity 1C
Activity Outcome: Identify the three-schema architecture of DBMS.

1. Three-schema architecture also known as ANSI-SPARC architecture. What does


ANSI-SPARC stand for?

1) External level.
2) Conceptual level.
3) Internal level.

2. Write the correct schema for the explanation given.

o User’s view of database.


o Describes the part of the database that a particular user Answer:
group is interested in
o Hides the rest of the database from that user group. View level
o Excludes irrelevant data as well as data which
the user is not authorized to access.
o Written in the Data Definition Language

o This schema concern in :


 Storage space allocation for data and indexes Answer:
 Record description for storage
Conceptual level
 Record placement
 Data compression and data encryption technique

o Community view of database.


o Hides the details of physical storage structures Answer:
o Describes what data is stored in database and Internal Level
relationships among the data.
o Doesn’t specify how the data is physically stored.
o Only DBA define and works at this level.
Based on the diagram given, fill in the blanks with the correct schema.

Activity 1D
Activity Outcome: Describe the client-server architecture of DBMS.

In group of two, briefly explain about types of client server architecture below:

Client-Server architecture

Database server is a software which runs on the server computer to provide database
services to the database client.

File-Server architecture

A common outgrowth of a database system that begins by using desktop


architecture and then expanded to accommodate multiple concurrent users.

Database-Server architecture

A Database Architecture is a representation of DBMS design. It helps to design,


develop, implement, and maintain the database management system

Three Tier architecture

 To improve performance for large number of users and also improves


flexibility compared to the two tier approach
 A middleware was added between the user system interface, client
environment and the server environment
Activity 1E
Activity Outcome: Identify the two categories of DBMS.

Based on the list of database software below, you are required to identify the categories of
DBMS for each of database software.

1 Oracle Server database

2 Microsoft Access Desktop database

3 Paradox Desktop database

4 Microsoft SQL Server Server database

5 Lotus Desktop database

6 FoxPro Desktop database

7 DB2 Desktop database

8 IBM Server database
