Components And Overall Structure of
DBMS.
Components of DBMS are broadly classified as follows :
1. Query Processor :
(a) DML Compiler
(b) Embedded DML pre-compiler
(c) DDL Interpreter
(d) Query Evaluation Engine
2. Storage Manager :
(a) Authorization and Integrity Manager
(b) Transaction Manager
(c) File Manager
(d) Buffer Manager
3. Disk storage:
(a) Data Files
(b) Data Dictionary
(c) Indices
(d) Statistical Data
1. Query Processor Components :
• DML Pre-compiler : It translates DML statements in a query
language into low level instructions that query evaluation
engine understands. It also attempts to transform user's request
into an equivalent but more efficient form.

• Embedded DML Pre-compiler : It converts DML statements


embedded in an application program to normal procedure calls
in the host language. The Pre-compiler must interact with the
DML compiler to generate the appropriate code.

• DDL Interpreter : It interprets the DDL statements and


records them in a set of tables containing meta data or data
dictionary.

• Query Evaluation Engine : It executes low-level


instructions generated by the DML compiler.
2. Storage Manager Components :
They provide the interface between the low-level data stored in the
database and application programs and queries submitted to the
system.
• Authorization and Integrity Manager : It tests for the satisfaction
of integrity constraints checks the authority of users to access data.
• Transaction Manager : It ensures that the database remains in
a consistent state despite the system failures and that concurrent
transaction execution proceeds without conflicting.
• File Manager : It manages the allocation of space on disk
storage and the data structures used to represent information
stored on disk.
• Buffer Manager : It is responsible for fetching data from
disk storage into main memory and deciding what data to
cache in memory.
Disk Storage :
Following data structures are required as a part of the physical
system implementation.

• Data Files : It stores the database.

• Data Dictionary : It stores meta data (data about data) about


the structure of the database.

• Indices : Provide fast access to data items that hold particular


values.

• Statistical Data : It stores statistical information about the data


in the database. This information is used by query processor to
select efficient ways to execute query.
