Management
Information Management:

Prepared by: Mr. Rovin Garcia


Database refers to a collection of data that is
organized in a specific way to facilitate
easy access and retrieval
Database represents some aspect of the real
world, such as a business or an
organization, and changes to that
aspect are reflected in the database
Database is a logically coherent collection of data
with a inherent meaning, as opposed to
a random assortment of data.
Database is designed, built, and populated with
data for specific purpose, with an
intended group of users and
preconceived applications in mind.
Database
It is a software that Management
allows users to create
and maintain a database System
(DBMS)

DBMS facilitates defining the data to stored, constructing the


database, manipulating and sharing data among users and
applications.
Characteristics

Self-
describing
Database system is self-describing, meaning it contains a
description of its own structure and organization, which is
called metadata. In contrast, file processing system do not
have such description.
Characteristics

Insulatio
n
Database system is provide insulation between programs and
data, and data abstraction, which allows programs to be
developed independently of the data they access. This
means that changes to the data can be made without
affecting the programs, and vice versa.
Characteristics

Support of multiple views of the


data system supports multiple views of the data,
Database which
allows different users to see the same data in different ways.
In contrast, file processing systems typically have a single
view of the data.
Characteristics
Sharing of data and multiuser transaction
processing
Database system allows for data sharing and multi-user
transaction processing, which means that multiple users can
access the same data simultaneously, and transactions can be
processed in a way that enusres the integrity of the data. In
file processing system, data sharing and multi-user transaction
proccessing are more difficult to implement.
