DBMS

This document provides an introduction to database systems and database management systems (DBMS). It defines key terms like data, information, database, and DBMS. It describes the limitations of file processing systems and how databases and DBMS address issues like redundancy, data inconsistency, data integration, and data sharing. It also classifies different types of database systems and their advantages over traditional file systems.

1.1
Data & Information

• Data
• Raw facts, unprocessed facts
• Refers to what is actually stored
• Information
• Result of processing raw data
• Refers to meaning of the data, understood by the user

Data managementfocuses on the generation, storage &


retrieval of data

1.2
Limitations of File-Processing Systems

• Redundancy problem
• Repetitive data
• Data-inconsistency problem
• Incorrectness of data
• Lack of data integration
• Complex and time consuming

1.3
Database

• Database is a collection of interrelated data


• Database is a shared, integrated computer structure that
stores:
• End- user data: raw facts of interest to the end-user
• Meta data: through which the end-user data are integrated
& managed. The metadata provides a description of the
data characteristics and the set of relationships that link the
data found within the database
• Database is an organized collection of data of an
organization or enterprise

1.4
DBMS

• DBMS (Database Management System) is a collection of


programs that manages structure & controls access to the
data stored in the database
• It includes tools to add, modify or delete data from the
database, ask questions (or queries) about the data stored
in the database and produce reports
• DBMS serves as the intermediary between the user & the
database

1.5
Database Types

• Depending on the number of users accessing the


database, a database system may be classified as:
• Single-user database system: It supports only one user at
a time. When a single-user database runs on a personal
computer, it is also called adesktopdatabase system
• Multi-user database system: It supports multiple users at
the same time. When a multi-user database supports
relatively small number of users, it is called as aworkgroup
database system. If the database is used by many users
across globe, it is known asenterprisedatabase system
• Depending on the location of the database, a database
system may be classified as:
• Centralized database system: It supports data located at
a single site or single place
• Distributed database system: It supports data distributed
across several different sites. Here, the same database can
be replicated and stored in another computer so that when
ever the original server goes down; the data can be
available to the user from the replicated data from other
servers
1.6
Advantages of DBMS over File System

• Controlling Redundancy & Inconsistency


• Allows Data Sharing
• Restricting Unauthorized Access
• Providing Storage Structures for efficient query processing
• Providing Backup & Recovery
• Providing multiple user interfaces
• Enforcing Integrity Constraints
• Solving data isolation
• Providing economies of scaling
