Database Applications: Introduction/ Recalling Previous Concepts by Syeda Rabia Kazim

A database is a collection of organized data that can be easily accessed, managed, and updated. A database management system (DBMS) interacts with users and applications to manage databases. Cloud databases store and access data over the Internet instead of locally. Relational databases structure data into tables with relationships between them. SQL is used to communicate with relational database management systems to access and modify database content.

DATABASE

APPLICATIONS
Introduction/ recalling previous concepts
BY SYEDA RABIA KAZIM
WHAT IS DATABASE?
 A database is an assortment of data that is organized to be easily
accessed, managed and updated, and range from
relational databases to cloud databases.

 Data is organized into rows, columns and tables, and it is indexed to


make it easier to find relevant information. Data gets updated,
expanded and deleted as new information is added.

 A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it


can be easily accessed, managed and updated.
Database Management System(DBMS)
 A database-management system (DBMS) is a computer-software application
that interacts with end-users, other applications, and the database itself to
capture and analyze data.

 A general-purpose DBMS allows the definition, creation, querying, update,


and administration of databases.

 Function of DBMS:
 Process Management
 Memory Management
 File Management
 Device Management
 Security Management
Cloud Technology

 In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing


and accessing data and programs over the Internet
instead of your computer's hard drive.

 The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet.


Cloud Database
 A cloud database is a database that typically runs on a cloud
computing  platform, access to it is provided as a service.
 Two cloud database environment models exist:
 Traditional
 Database as a service (DBaaS)
 Traditional: In a traditional cloud model, a database runs on an IT
department's infrastructure via a virtual machine. Tasks of database
oversight and management fall upon IT staffers of the organization.
 Database as a service (DBaaS): the DBaaS model is a fee-
based subscription service in which the database runs on the service
provider's physical infrastructure
Relational Database
 A database structured to recognize relations between stored items of
information.

 A relational database stores information in tables. Each informational theme


is stored in its own table

 A relational database holds a set of “objects” of different types


 Tables
 Queries
 Forms
 Reports
 Macros
What Database Objects Do

 Tables contain the actual data

 Forms simplify entering and viewing data

 Queries let you view parts of the data

 Reports format and print selected data

 Macros let you automate command sequences


Tables as Database Objects

 One database can hold many tables

 The tables hold different kinds of data

 Data can be linked between tables

 The link between tables is a RELATION


Database Relationships
ERD Symbols/Notations
Entity Relationship Model
 An entity relationship model, also called an entity-relationship (ER)
diagram, is a graphical representation of entities and their relationships to
each other, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of data
within databases or information systems.

Entity Attribute

an entity is a person, place, thing or Each entity is made up of a number


concept about which data can be of 'attributes' which represent
collected. that entity.
Relational Database Properties

A relational database:
 can be accessed and modified by executing structured query language (SQL)
statements
 Contains a collection of tables with no physical pointers
 Uses a set of operators
Communicating with a RDBMS Using SQL
• SQL stands for Structured
Query Language. 
• SQL is used to
communicate with a
database.
• According to ANSI
(American National
Standards Institute), it is
the standard language for
relational database
management systems.
