What is a database?

🠶 Collection of organized data can be defined as a


database.
Advantages of Databases
🠶 More efficient in retrieving information.
🠶 Easy to obtain copies.
🠶 Smaller physical space to store data.
🠶 Data analysis can be carried out effic iently.
🠶 Data can be shared.
🠶 Independence of data.
Features of a Database
🠶 Minimal data redundancy
Eliminate repeating data
🠶 Data consistency
By minimizing data redundancy, the same data being saved in various tables can be reduced or
prevented. This enables to maintenance of data consistency
🠶 Increases efficiency
Since database tables are properly organized, saving and reading data can be carried out
efficiently.
🠶 Increases accuracy
Store data are accurate
🠶 Increases validity
Data type is considered when we enter data into ay field in a database.

Relationship Types in Relational Database
🠶 There are 03 Three types of relationships in Relation database

1. One-to-One (1:1)
2. One-to-Many(1:m)
3. Many-to Many (m:n)
One-to-One Relationship(1:1)
🠶 If only a row of a table is related to a row of another table, it is
called a one-to-one relationship.
One-to-Many Relationship(1:m)
🠶 If each record of a table is related to several records of the other
table, this is called a one-to-many relationship.
Many-to-Many Relationship(m:n)
🠶 If a record of a table is related to several records of another table
and if a record of that related table is related to several records of
the other table, there is a many-to-many relationship between
