DBMS Architecture
Advertisement

o The DBMS design depends upon


its architecture. The basic
client/server architecture is
used to deal with a large
number of PCs, web servers,
database servers and other
components that are connected
with networks.

o The client/server architecture


consists of many PCs and a
workstation which are
connected via the network.

o DBMS architecture depends


upon how users are connected
to the database to get their
request done.

Types of DBMS
Architecture

Database architecture can be seen as a single tier
or multi-tier. But logically, database architecture
is of two types like: 2-tier architecture and 3-
tier architecture.

1-Tier Architecture

o In this architecture, the


database is directly available to
the user. It means the user can
directly sit on the DBMS and
uses it.

o Any changes done here will


directly be done on the
database itself. It doesn't
provide a handy tool for end
users.

o The 1-Tier architecture is used


for development of the local
application, where
programmers can directly
communicate with the database
for the quick response.

2-Tier Architecture

o The 2-Tier architecture is same


as basic client-server. In the
two-tier architecture,
applications on the client end
can directly communicate with
the database at the server side.
For this interaction, API's
like: ODBC, JDBC are used.

o The user interfaces and


application programs are run on
the client-side.

o The server side is responsible to


provide the functionalities like:
query processing and
transaction management.

o To communicate with the DBMS,


client-side application
establishes a connection with
the server side.

3-Tier Architecture

o The 3-Tier architecture contains


another layer between the
client and server. In this
architecture, client can't
directly communicate with the
server.

o The application on the client-


end interacts with an
application server which further
communicates with the
database system.

o End user has no idea about the


existence of the database
beyond the application server.
The database also has no idea
about any other user beyond
the application.

o The 3-Tier architecture is used


in case of large web application.
