 Why Study Databases??

Computation Information

08/24/2023 MSA8040-I4I 7
Files and Databases
File: A collection of records or
documents
• Manual (paper) files
• Computer files
Database: A collection of similar
records, along with their relationships
What Is a Database??
Shared, integrated computer structures that store
data
Components:
• End-user data: raw facts of interest to end user
• Metadata: data about data, integrating & managing end-
user data
⎯ Describes data characteristics and relationships
⎯ Examples: the name of each data element, the type of values
(numeric, dates, or text) stored on each data element, and
whether the data element can be left empty
A Database management system (DBMS) is a
• Collection of programs
• Manages the database structure
• Controls access to data stored in the database

Why Use a DBMS??
Minimal data redundancy
Data consistency, data integration,
and data sharing
Ease of application development,
reduced program maintenance
Uniform security, privacy, and
integrity controls
Data accessibility and responsiveness
Data independence
DBMS Functions
Data dictionary management
• Data dictionary: stores definitions of data
elements and their relationships
Data storage management
• Performance tuning ensures efficient
performance
Data transformation and presentation
• Data is formatted to conform to logical
expectations
Security management
• Enforces user security and data privacy
DBMS Functions
Multiuser access control
• Sophisticated algorithms ensure that
multiple users can access the database
concurrently without compromising its
integrity
Backup and recovery management
• Enables recovery of the database after a
failure
Data integrity management
• Minimizes redundancy and maximizes
consistency
DBMS Functions
Database access languages and
application programming interfaces
• Query language: lets the user specify what
must be done without having to specify how
• Structured Query Language (SQL): de facto
query language and data access standard
supported by the majority of DBMS vendors
Database communication interfaces
• Accept end-user requests via multiple,
different network environments
Data Modeling
Creating a specific data model before building your
databases.

Data Models
A data model is a collection of concepts
for describing data
A schema is description of a particular
collection of data, using the a given data
model
The relational model of data is the most
widely used model today
• Main concept: relation, basically a table with
rows and columns
• Every relation has a schema, which describes
the columns, or fields
Evolution of Data Models

08/24/2023 MSA8040-I4I 17
NoSQL Databases
Usually very simple
key/value search
operations
May use distributed
parallel processing
(grid/cloud, e.g.
MongoDB + Hadoop)
Semantic Web
“TripleStores” are
one type
Well-designed DBs
Facilitate Data
Management

Databases Make These
Folks HAPPY …
End users and DBMS vendors
DB application programmers
• E.g., smart webmasters
Database administrator (DBA)
• Designs logical /physical schemas
• Handle security and authorization
• Data availability, crash recovery
• Database tuning as needs evolve
Must understand how a DBMS works!
Structure of a DBMS
A typical DBMS has a
layered architecture query optimization
and execution

The figure does not relational operators

These layers
files and access
show the concurrency methods must
consider
control and recovery buffer management
disk space
concurrency
control and
components management recovery

This is one of several

DB
possible architectures;
each system has its
own variations
Summary
DBMS used to maintain, query large datasets
Benefits include recovery from system crashes,
concurrent access, quick application
development, data integrity and security
Levels of abstraction give data independence
A DBMS typically has a layered architecture
DBAs hold responsible jobs and are well-paid
DBMS R&D is one of the broadest, most exciting
areas in CS
