Database Management Systems

This document discusses key concepts related to database management systems including: 1. A database is a centrally controlled, logically organized collection of data that can be accessed and maintained by different applications. 2. Database normalization involves organizing data into tables and establishing relationships between tables according to normal forms like 1NF, 2NF and 3NF to reduce redundancy and dependency. 3. A DBMS provides functionality for defining, constructing and maintaining databases including data storage, retrieval, security and concurrency control.

Special software create & maintain a database. Enable individual business applications to extract the

data they need without data definitions. Acts as an interface between application programs and physical data files.

Centrally controlled, integrated collection of logically

organized data, is a database. Various pieces of data within database must have logical connection among themselves for integration i.e, data elements must be in a specific place and bear specific relationships for collection of data to be substantial.

Groups of mathematical rules to test decisions

Process of applying rules of normal form is

NORMALISATION. DEGREES OF NORMALISATION: 1NF 2NF 3NF or boyce codd normal form 4NF

5NF

Considers information requirements of many different

types of users Conceptual relationships will decide the key data entities and attributes PHYSICAL DATABASE MODEL:stored framework of data on a physical device design of the database optimise the physical database for space and time consideration
