INTRODUCTION
 Purpose of Database Systems
 View of Data
 Data Models
 Data Definition Language
 Data Manipulation Language
 Transaction Management
 Storage Management
 Database Administrator
 Database Users
 Overall System Structure
DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS)
 Collection of interrelated data
 Set of programs to access the data
 DBMS contains information about a particular enterprise
 DBMS provides an environment that is both convenient
and efficient to use.
 Database Applications:
 Banking: all transactions
 Airlines: reservations, schedules
 Universities: registration, grades
 Sales: customers, products, purchases
 Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain
 Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions
 Databases touch all aspects of our lives
PURPOSE OF DATABASE SYSTEM
 In the early days, database applications were
built on top of file systems
 Drawbacks of using file systems to store data:
 Data redundancy and inconsistency
 Multiple file formats, duplication of information in
different files
 Difficulty in accessing data
 Need to write a new program to carry out each new
task
 Data isolation — multiple files and formats
 Integrity problems
 Integrity constraints (e.g. account balance > 0) become
part of program code
 Hard to add new constraints or change existing ones
PURPOSE OF DATABASE SYSTEMS (CONT.)
 Drawbacks of using file systems (cont.)
 Atomicity of updates
 Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state with
partial updates carried out
 E.g. transfer of funds from one account to another should
either complete or not happen at all
 Concurrent access by multiple users
 Concurrent accessed needed for performance
 Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to
inconsistencies
 E.g. two people reading a balance and updating it at the same
time
 Security problems
 Database systems offer solutions to all the above
problems
LEVELS OF ABSTRACTION
 Physical level describes how a record (e.g.,
customer) is stored.
 Logical level: describes data stored in database, and
the relationships among the data.
type customer = record
name : string;
street : string;
city : integer;
end;
 View level: application programs hide details of data
types. Views can also hide information (e.g., salary)
for security purposes.
VIEW OF DATA
An architecture for a database system
INSTANCES AND SCHEMAS
 Similar to types and variables in programming languages
 Schema – the logical structure of the database
 e.g., the database consists of information about a set of customers and
accounts and the relationship between them)
 Analogous to type information of a variable in a program
 Physical schema: database design at the physical level
 Logical schema: database design at the logical level
 Instance – the actual content of the database at a particular point in time
 Analogous to the value of a variable
 Physical Data Independence – the ability to modify the physical schema
without changing the logical schema
 Applications depend on the logical schema
 In general, the interfaces between the various levels and components should
be well defined so that changes in some parts do not seriously influence others.
DATA MODELS
 A collection of tools for describing
 data
 data relationships
 data semantics
 data constraints
 Entity-Relationship model
 Relational model
 Other models:
 object-oriented model
 semi-structured data models
 Older models: network model and
hierarchical model
ENTITY-RELATIONSHIP MODEL
Example of schema in the entity-relationship model
ENTITY RELATIONSHIP MODEL (CONT.)
 E-R model of real world
 Entities (objects)
 E.g. customers, accounts, bank branch
 Relationships between entities
 E.g. Account A-101 is held by customer Johnson
 Relationship set depositor associates customers with
accounts
 Widely used for database design
 Database design in E-R model usually converted to
design in the relational model (coming up next)
which is used for storage and processing
RELATIONAL MODEL
 Example of tabular data in the relational model
customer-
name
Customer-
id
customer-
street
customer-
city
account-
number

A SAMPLE RELATIONAL DATABASE
DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL)
 Specification notation for defining the database schema
 E.g.
create table account (
account-number char(10),
balance integer)
 DDL compiler generates a set of tables stored in a data
dictionary
 Data dictionary contains metadata (i.e., data about data)
 database schema
 Data storage and definition language
 language in which the storage structure and access methods used
by the database system are specified
 Usually an extension of the data definition language
DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML)
 Language for accessing and manipulating
the data organized by the appropriate data
model
 DML also known as query language
 Two classes of languages
 Procedural – user specifies what data is required
and how to get those data
 Nonprocedural – user specifies what data is
required without specifying how to get those data
 SQL is the most widely used query language
SQL
 SQL: widely used non-procedural language
 E.g. find the name of the customer with customer-id 192-83-7465
select customer.customer-name
from customer
where customer.customer-id = ‘192-83-7465’
 E.g. find the balances of all accounts held by the customer with
customer-id 192-83-7465
select account.balance
from depositor, account
where depositor.customer-id = ‘192-83-7465’ and
depositor.account-number = account.account-
number
 Application programs generally access databases through one
of
 Language extensions to allow embedded SQL
 Application program interface (e.g. ODBC/JDBC) which allow
SQL queries to be sent to a database
DATABASE USERS
 Users are differentiated by the way they expect to interact
with the system
 Application programmers – interact with system through
DML calls
 Sophisticated users – form requests in a database query
language
 Specialized users – write specialized database
applications that do not fit into the traditional data
processing framework
 Naïve users – invoke one of the permanent application
programs that have been written previously
 E.g. people accessing database over the web, bank tellers,
clerical staff
DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR
 Coordinates all the activities of the database
system; the database administrator has a good
understanding of the enterprise’s information
resources and needs.
 Database administrator's duties include:
 Schema definition
 Storage structure and access method definition
 Schema and physical organization modification
 Granting user authority to access the database
 Specifying integrity constraints
 Acting as liaison with users
 Monitoring performance and responding to changes in
requirements
TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT
 A transaction is a collection of operations that
performs a single logical function in a database
application
 Transaction-management component ensures
that the database remains in a consistent
(correct) state despite system failures (e.g.,
power failures and operating system crashes)
and transaction failures.
 Concurrency-control manager controls the
interaction among the concurrent transactions,
to ensure the consistency of the database.
STORAGE MANAGEMENT
 Storage manager is a program module that
provides the interface between the low-level
data stored in the database and the
application programs and queries submitted
to the system.
 The storage manager is responsible to the
following tasks:
 interaction with the file manager
 efficient storing, retrieving and updating of data
OVERALL SYSTEM STRUCTURE
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURES
Two-tier architecture: E.g. client programs using ODBC/JDBC to
communicate with a database
Three-tier architecture: E.g. web-based applications, and
applications built using “middleware”

SQL  SQL: widely used non-procedural language  E.g. find the name of the customer with customer-id 192-83-7465 select customer.customer-name from customer where customer.customer-id = ‘192-83-7465’  E.g. find the balances of all accounts held by the customer with customer-id 192-83-7465 select account.balance from depositor, account where depositor.customer-id = ‘192-83-7465’ and depositor.account-number = account.account- number  Application programs generally access databases through one of  Language extensions to allow embedded SQL  Application program interface (e.g. ODBC/JDBC) which allow SQL queries to be sent to a database
  • 16. DATABASE USERS  Users are differentiated by the way they expect to interact with the system  Application programmers – interact with system through DML calls  Sophisticated users – form requests in a database query language  Specialized users – write specialized database applications that do not fit into the traditional data processing framework  Naïve users – invoke one of the permanent application programs that have been written previously  E.g. people accessing database over the web, bank tellers, clerical staff
  • 17. DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR  Coordinates all the activities of the database system; the database administrator has a good understanding of the enterprise’s information resources and needs.  Database administrator's duties include:  Schema definition  Storage structure and access method definition  Schema and physical organization modification  Granting user authority to access the database  Specifying integrity constraints  Acting as liaison with users  Monitoring performance and responding to changes in requirements
  • 18. TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT  A transaction is a collection of operations that performs a single logical function in a database application  Transaction-management component ensures that the database remains in a consistent (correct) state despite system failures (e.g., power failures and operating system crashes) and transaction failures.  Concurrency-control manager controls the interaction among the concurrent transactions, to ensure the consistency of the database.
  • 19. STORAGE MANAGEMENT  Storage manager is a program module that provides the interface between the low-level data stored in the database and the application programs and queries submitted to the system.  The storage manager is responsible to the following tasks:  interaction with the file manager  efficient storing, retrieving and updating of data
  • 21. APPLICATION ARCHITECTURES Two-tier architecture: E.g. client programs using ODBC/JDBC to communicate with a database Three-tier architecture: E.g. web-based applications, and applications built using “middleware”
