Advanced Database Management System (ADBMS) Notes

1. Database Fundamentals

- Database Architecture:

The architecture includes components like storage manager, query processor, and transaction

manager. The query processor handles query parsing, optimization, and execution, playing a vital

role in ensuring efficient query execution.

- File Processing Systems:

A file processing system lacks integration and data independence. Disadvantages include

redundancy, inconsistency, difficulty in accessing data, and lack of concurrent access.

- Keys in Databases:

Superkey: A set of attributes uniquely identifying a record.

Primary key: A minimal superkey, unique and non-null.

Candidate key: A key that could potentially be chosen as the primary key.

2. Relational Algebra & SQL

- Relational Algebra Operations:

Select: Filters rows based on conditions.

Project: Selects specific columns.

Rename: Renames a relation or attribute.

Union: Combines tuples from two relations.

Intersection: Common tuples in two relations.

Difference: Tuples in one relation but not in another.

Cartesian Product: Combines tuples from two relations.

- SQL Queries:

- Aggregate Functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN.

- Example Query: Calculate total sales per region using GROUP BY.

- Advanced queries using subqueries, joins, and complex conditions.


3. Schema and Normalization

- Functional Dependency:

A relationship where one attribute uniquely determines another. Essential for database design.

- Second Normal Form (2NF):

Achieved by eliminating partial dependencies, ensuring all attributes depend on the entire

primary key.

- Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF):

A stricter version of 3NF, eliminating redundancy caused by functional dependencies.

- Multivalued Dependencies and Fourth Normal Form (4NF):

Eliminates issues of multivalued dependencies for better data integrity.

4. Advanced Topics in Database Systems

- Parallel vs Distributed Systems:

Parallel systems involve tightly coupled processors for high performance, while distributed

systems are loosely coupled, focusing on scalability and fault tolerance.

- Data Warehousing:

A centralized repository storing integrated data from multiple sources, supporting

decision-making processes. Properties include subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and

non-volatile data.

- Database Connectivity:

- JDBC: Java-based API for database connectivity.

- ODBC: Standard API for accessing databases.

- Embedded SQL: Embedding SQL commands in programming languages.

5. Transactions and Concurrency

- Transaction Concepts:

- ACID Properties:

Atomicity: Ensures a transaction is all-or-nothing.


Consistency: Guarantees database consistency.

Isolation: Concurrent transactions do not interfere.

Durability: Results persist after a transaction completes.

- Transaction States: Active, Partially Committed, Committed, Failed, and Aborted states.

- Concurrency Control:

- Shared Lock: Allows read operations by multiple transactions.

- Exclusive Lock: Restricts access to a single transaction.

- Two-phase Locking Protocol: Ensures serializability using a growing and shrinking phase.

- Anomalies:

- Dirty Read: Reading uncommitted data.

- Lost Update: Overwriting updates from other transactions.

- Conflict Equivalent: Ensures schedules yield the same outcome.
