OVERVIEW OF DATABASE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (DBMS)

11/13/24
 Database management system is a set of
programs that deals with

Prepared by: S. K. M. Njovu


 Storage of information/records
 Modification of stored information/records
 Extraction of the stored information/records
 It also provides users with tools to
 Add, delete records
 Access records
 Update records
 Analyze stored information
TYPES/MODELS OF DBMS

11/13/24
 the hierarchical model:treelike model, is
confined to a one-to-many relationship

Prepared by: S. K. M. Njovu


 the network model: consists of more complex

relationships, allows for many-to-many


relationships
 the relational model: uses two-dimensional

rows and columns to store data


 the object relational model: has the ability to

handle graphics, pictures, voice and text

 Oracle

 PostgreSQL
MICROSOFT ACCESS 2007 DBMS

11/13/24
 This is a relational database model
 Data is stored in tabular form

Prepared by: S. K. M. Njovu


 Columns represent ATTRIBUTES e.g. age, sex,

marital status
 Rows represent ENTITIES e.g. individual and

identifiable objects like Juma, Esther, Julieth


 Examples of such databases include

TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, ADDRESS BOOK,


etc.
RELATIONAL DATABASE
 Definition:
 Data stored in tables that are associated by
shared attributes (keys).
 Any data element (or entity) can be found in the
database through the name of the table, the
attribute name, and the value of the primary key.
RELATIONAL DATABASE DEFINITIONS
 Entity: Object, Concept or event (subject)
 Attribute: a Characteristic of an entity

 Row or Record: the specific characteristics of

one entity
 Table: a collection of records

 Database: a collection of tables

THE RELATIONAL MODEL
 Each attribute has a unique name within an
entity
 All entries in the column are examples of it

 Each row is unique

 Ordering of rows and columns is unimportant

 Each position (tuple) is limited to a single

entry.
DATA MODEL: WHAT’S A MODEL?
 A data model is a representation of reality
 It’s used to define the storage and

manipulation of a data base.


 Data Models have two components:
 Structure:the structure of the data stored within
 Operations: Facilities for manipulation of the
data.
CRUD !
 Refers to the most common Database
Operations:
 Create
 Read
 Update
 Delete
 Operations occur at all levels: Tables,
Records, Columns
ATTRIBUTES
 Characteristics of an entity
 Examples:
 Vehicle (VIN, color, make, model, mileage)
 Student (SSN, Fname, Lname, Address)
 Fishing License (Type, Start_date, End_date)

 Text, date, real, integer

DATABASE RELATIONSHIPS
 How is one entity related to another entity?
 Real-world sources:
 Ownership
 Parentage
 Assignment
 Regulation
Database Table Keys

Definition:
A key of a relation is a subset of attributes with the following
attributes:
• Unique identification
• Non-redundancy
TYPES OF KEYS
PRIMARY KEY
 Serves as the row level addressing mechanism in
the relational database model.
 It can be formed through the combination of
several items.
FOREIGN KEY
 A column or set of columns within a table that
are required to match those of a primary key of a
second table.
These keys are used to form a RELATIONAL
JOIN - thereby connecting row to row across
the individual tables.

DATABASE KEYS
 Primary Key - Indicates uniqueness within
records or rows in a table.
 Foreign Key - the primary key from another

table, this is the only way join relationships


can be established.
 There may also be alternate or secondary

keys within a table.

CREATING A SAMPLE DATABASE

 Let us assume it is an MU staff database
 Database name: MU-STAFF

Prepared by: S. K. M. Njovu


 Tables: main table and subsidiary tables as follows
 Employees: main table – pfno, names, codes for sex,
marital status, education level and department
 Sex: subsidiary table – sexcode, description

 Marital status: subsidiary table – maritalcode, description

 Education level: subsidiary table – educationcode,

description
 Department: subsidiary table – departmentcode,

description
 Thenumber of subsidiary tables will depend on the
complexity of the main table and the nature of data

 Once the tables are created, they have to be
linked

Prepared by: S. K. M. Njovu


 Each subsidiary table have to be linked to the

main table
 Linking fields should have some properties

identical, like field type and length
