Solution:
Q1. Users may be divided into those who actually use and control the content (called “Actors
on the Scene”) and those who enable the database to be developed and the DBMS software to be
designed and implemented (called “Workers Behind the Scene”).

Actors on the scene


–Database administrators: responsible for authorizing access to the database, for co- ordinating

and monitoring its use, acquiring software, and hardware resources, controlling its use and

monitoring efficiency of operations.

Categories of End-users
Casual : access database occasionally when

needed

Naïve or Parametric : they make up a large

section of the end-user population. They use

previously well-defined functions in the form

of “canned transactions” against the

database. Examples are bank-tellers or

reservation clerks who do this activity for an

entire shift of operations.

–Database Designers: responsible to define the content, the structure, the constraints, and

functions or transactions against the database. They must communicate with the end-users and

understand their needs.

–End-users: they use the data for queries, reports and some of them actually update the

database
