NOTES OF LESSON
What is Database?
An organised group of data that is kept and accessible
electronically is referred to as a database. It is a digital
repository that enables the effective management, storage, and
retrieval of both organised and unorganised data. Information like
client records, financial data, inventory listings, and much more can
be stored in databases. Example of database are – Microsoft Access,
OpenOffice Base, Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL etc.
What is a Database Management System?
Data is stored, retrieved, and analyzed using software called
database management systems (DBMS). Users can create, read,
update, and remove data in databases using a Database
Management System, which acts as an interface between them and
the databases. Example of database Management System are –
Microsoft Access, OpenOffice Base, Oracle, MySQL and
PostgreSQL etc.
Data can be organized into two types:
• Flat File: Data is stored in a single table. Usually suitable for
less amount of data. basically for small-scale organization
where data does not need to be strucutred in a complex
way. Example of database software are Microsoft Excel or
Google Sheets.
• Relational: Data is stored in multiple tables and the tables are
linked using a common field. Relational is suitable for medium
to large amount of data. Example of database software are
MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle Database..
What is Database Server?
Database servers are dedicated computers that are designed to
store data and provide database services to other
computers. We use a database to store, organize, manage and
retrieve data efficiently and effectively. The database servers run
only database and database related software.
Advantages of Database
Reduces Data Redundancy
Data redundancy means when same data is stored more than one
places, which increased complexity and wasted of storage space, so,
database helps to reduce data redundacy.
Sharing of Data
A database allows its users to exchange data among themselves.
The data can only be shared with users who have received the
appropriate degrees of authorization because there are different
levels of access to the data.
Data Integrity
Data integrity refers to the accuracy and consistency of data
stored in a database management system (DBMS). Database
ensures that the data is reliable and can be trusted for decision
making and other critical business processes.
Data Security
A database’s concept of data security is important. The database
should only be accessible to authorised users, whose identities
must be verified using a username and password.
Privacy
The privacy rule in a database ensures that only authorized users
can access the database and view data according to the specific
privacy constraints. To maintain data security, access levels are set
in the database so that a user can only view data that they are not
allowed to modify if the permission is not given.
For example, in social networking sites, different accounts have
different access constraints, and users are only allowed to view the
other account data that is permitted for their specific account.
Backup and Recovery
Database Management System automaticlly take backup and
recovery processes to ensure the protection and availability of data.
This means that the DBMS automatically creates and manages
backups of the database at regular intervals, and also provides
tools to recover data in the event of a failure or data loss.
Data Consistency
Data consistency refers to the accuracy and reliability of data stored
in a database or other data storage system. It means that the data is
consistent and valid across all instances where it is stored or
accessed.
For example, if a customer’s name and address are stored in
multiple tables within a database, the data must be consistent across
all table.
Features of Database
There are some key features of a database:
1. One or more tables can be added in the database.
2. Decreased storage costs and space requirements
3. Users can use query languages in a database.
4. Multiple users can access the data from the database .
5. Unique keys aid in preventing errors caused by human or
technological mishaps.
Primary Key, Composite Primary Key and Foreign Key in a
Database
In the RDBMS data can be integrated using keys. These are Primary
Key, Composite Primary Key, and Foreign Key, Key are used to make
the relationship between the tables.
1. Primary Key – This unique field is called the Primary Key
(PK). primary key is a field or a set of fields that uniquely
identify each record in a table. A primary key must be unique
and cannot contain null values.
2. Composite Primary Key – A composite primary key is a
primary key that consists of two or more fields that together
uniquely identify each record in a table.
 3. Foreign Key – A composite primary key is a primary key that
consists of two or more fields that together uniquely identify
each record in a table.
What is RDBMS?
A database management system that is based on the relational
model is called an RDBMS (Relation Database Management System).
Tables are used to organise data in relational databases. A relational
database management system (RDBMS) is used to store, manage,
query, and retrieve data.
Database Objects
a. Tables: Data is arranged into rows and columns in a table,
which is a type of data structure. It can be applied to both the
storage and presentation of structured data.
b. Columns or Fields or Attributes: Data is arranged vertically
from top to bottom in columns. Each row of the table has one
column, which is a collection of data values of a specific basic
type. The structure by which the rows are put together is
provided by the columns.
c. Rows or Records or Tuples: A row, also known as a Record or
Tuple, in a table represents a single data item. A database table
can be represented graphically as being made up of rows and
columns, or fields. Every row in a table has the same structure
and represents a group of connected data.

How to create a database using Open Office
• Step 1 : Click on Start > Programs > OpenOffice > OpenOffice
Base
• Step 2 : Click on Create a new database
• Step 3 : In the Database Wizard, Click on Finish
• Step 4 : Specify a the Name of database and click on Save
How to create a table in Database
The database’s tables are used to store data. In the database, In
OpenOffice Base the tables can be created in two different ways.
1. Create Table in Design View
2. Use Wizard to Create Table
Create Table in Design View
• Step 1 : Click on Create Table in Design View
• Step 2 : Select Field name and suitable datatype
• Step 3 : Set the Primary Key
 • Step 4 : Change the table name
• Step 5 : Save the table
Use Wizard to Create Table
• Step 1 : Click on Table > Use Wizard to Create table
• Step 2 : Click the Select Fields > Choose Category > Select the
table > Click on Next Button
• Step 3 : Select data types from the given field
• Step 4 : Set the Primary Key
• Step 5 : Rename the table and Click on Finish
Data Types
The type of data (value) that will be stored in the database is defined
by its datatype. Important to know the different types of data helps
to ensure that each property’s value is as expected and that data is
collected in the correct format.
Data types in OpenOffice base are broadly classified into five
categories listed below.
• Numeric Types
• Alphanumeric Types
• Binary Types
• Date time
• Other Variable types
Numeric Types
Numerical data types are data types that store numeric values in a
database. Numeric data types can be further divided into several
subtypes, including:
Alphanumeric Types
Data that has both letters and numbers is referred to as
alphanumeric type.

Binary Types
For storing data in binary formats, binary data types are utilised. In
a database, binary data types can be used to store things like music
and image files. The binary data type can generally be used to store
files in any format.
Date Time
When specifying date and time values for a column used in a
database table, date time data types are used. Information like dates
of birth, admissions, product sales, and other dates can be stored in
databases using date and time data types.
Perform Operations on Table
In Base, data is kept in tables that may be added to, changed, or
deleted by using the proper options.
Insert Data in the Table
• Step 1 : Select the table > Double click on it
• Step 2 : The table will open in Datasheet View
• Step 3 : Now you can Insert Number of records in Datasheet
View
Editing Records in the Table
• Step 1 : Select the table > Double click on it.
• Step 2 : The table will open in Datasheet View
• Step 3 : Edit the record as per the requirement
Deleting Record From the Table
• Step 1 : Select the table > Double click on it.
• Step 2 : The table will open in Datasheet View
• Step 3 : Right click on data and select delete option
Field Properties
To modify the field’s attributes It is necessary to modify the table
structure in design view. The following actions will be taken to set
the field’s properties:
Select the table > Right click > Select the option Edit > the table
Design View window will open
Following are some properties of data of the numeric type:
1. AutoValue – if set to yes then field will get the auto numeric
values.
2. Length – By default length of the field is 10 but the size of the
field can be set to maximum length.
3. Default Value – A default value can be set for a field if user
don’t provide any value while entering the values in the table.
 4. Format example – This property helps to set the format of the
data entered in the field such as 91-222-333.
Following are some properties of data of the character type:
1. Entry Required – if set to yes then it will be must to insert the
value in the field which means that field cannot be left blank.
2. Length – By default length of the field is 10 but the size of the
field can be set to maximum length.
3. Default Value – A default value can be set for a field if user
don’t provide any value while entering the values in the table.
4. Format example – This property helps to set the format of the
data entered in the field such as 91-222-333.
Sorting Data
Sorting means to arrange the data in either ascending order of
descending order. Sorting is the process of putting data into a
meaningful order so you can evaluate it more efficiently.
Referential Integrity
The relationship between tables is referred to as referential
integrity. Referential integrity is used to maintain accuracy and
consistency of data in a relationship. In Base, data can be linked
between two or more tables with the help of primary key and
foreign key constraints.
Referential integrity helps to avoid:
1. Adding records to a related table if there is no associated record
available in the primary key table.
2. Changing values in a primary if any dependent records are
present in associated table(s).
3. Deleting records from a primary key table if there are any
matching related records available in associated table(s).
Creating and Editing Relationships between Tables
An association or link between two or more tables is referred to as a
relationship. You don’t have to enter the same data again in different
tables when you relate two tables.
Relationships between tables helps to
1. Save time as there is no need to enter the same data in
separate tables.
2. Reduce data-entry errors.
3. Summarize data from related tables.
Type of Relationships in Database
There are three types of relationships which can be created in
tables:
1. ONE to ONE
2. ONE to MANY OR MANY to ONE
3. MANY to MANY
ONE to ONE
In this relationship, both the tables must have primary key columns.
ONE to MANY OR MANY to ONE
In this relationship, one of the table must have primary key column.
It signifies that one column of primary key table is associated with
all the columns of associated table.
MANY to MANY
In this relationship, no table has the primary key column. It signifies
that all the columns of primary key table are associated with all the
columns of associated table.
Note Removing the Relationships – With the use of the Delete
option, the relationships that have been applied to the tables can
also be deleted. When you right-click a relationship thread, the
Delete option will appear.
Retrieve Data using Query
In order to describe the data structure and to modify the data in the
database, queries are used as instructions. A query enables the
joining and filtering of data from various tables.
Database Languages having two type:
1. DDL (Data Definition Language)
2. DML (Data Manipulation Language)
DDL Statements:
• Create: Using this statement, a database or set of tables can be
created.
• Alternate: This statement is used to change the table’s
structure.
• Drop: This statement is used to remove database objects from
the system.
DML statements:
• SELECT: The statement “SELECT” is used to get data from the
database.
• INSERT: The statement “INSERT” is used to add a new record
to the database.
• DELETE: The database can be cleaned out by using the
statement DELETE.
• UPDATE: This statement is used to modify the database’s
information.
Database Query
Query is a computer languages. In order to describe the data

QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. What is a database?
Answer – A database is an organized collection of data. Databases
can store, retrieve and manage large amounts of data. The database
stores the information in the form of a table.
2. What is the purpose of a Database Management System?
Answer – A database management system (DBMS) is a software
package which manages and maintains data in a database. A DBMS
enables several user application programs to access the same
database at the same time. It enables organizations to easily create
databases for a variety of purposes. A database is a comprehensive
collection of data records, files, and other items.
3. How is data organized in a database?
Answer – There are two way to organized data in database –
a. Flat File – It stores the data in a single table and it is suitable for
small amounts of data.
b. Relational – It stores the data in a multiple table and all the
tables are connected to each other using a common field with the
help of relationships.
4. What do you mean by Database Servers?
Answer – Database servers are powerful computers that store and
manage data on a server. This type of server is dedicated to a single
purpose and helps to hold the database and run only DBMS and
related software.
5. Give the Advantages of database?
Answer – Advantages of database are –
a. Reduce Data Redundancy – When the same data set is stored in
two or more locations, this is referred to as data redundancy. As a
result, this helps in the protection of duplicate data in a database.
b. Sharing of Data – Databases can share the data with multiple
users at a time. There are multiple levels of authorization to access
the data, and as a result, the data can only be shared with those who
are permitted.
c. Data Integrity – The term “data integrity” refers to the accuracy
and consistency of the data in the database. Data integrity also
refers to data safety.
d. Data Security – You know that data is very important, databases
give privileges to authorized users and allow them to access the
database using username and password.
e. Privacy – A database’s privacy rule says that only authorized
users are permitted to access the database in accordance with its
privacy constraints. For example – if you log in your Gmail account
then you will see your email only, you will not see any other account
email.
f. Backup and Recovery – Backup and recovery are handled
automatically by the Database Management System.
g. Data Consistency – Data consistency ensures the modification in
the data will be the same for all the users who are accessing the
database. For example if you have registered a train ticket from
IRCTC website then whatever changes are there it will be the same
for all the users who are trying to reserve the ticket.
