Dbms environment and components ppt.pptx
- 2. WHAT IS DBMS ENVIRONMENT ? A database environment is a collective system of components that comprise and regulates the group of data, management, and use of data, which consist of software, hardware, people, techniques of handling database, and the data also.
- 5. Components of dbms environment. HARDWARE SOFTWARE DATA PROCEDURES USERS(or PEOPLE)
- 6. 1.HARDWARE When we say hardware, we mean computer, hard disk, I/o channels for data and any other physical components involved before any data is successfully stored into the memory. Consists of a set of physical electronics devices such as computers, I/o devices, storage devices, etc. This provides the interface between computers and the real world system. This DBMS component is used for keeping and storing the data in the database. When we run oracle or MySQL on our personal computer, then our computers hard disk, our keyboard using which we type in all the commands, our computers RAM, ROM all become a part of the DBMS hardware
- 7. 2. SOFTWARE This is the set of programs used to control and manage the overall database. This includes the DBMS software itself, the operating system, the network software being used to share the data among users, and the application program used to access data in the DBMS. This is the main component, as this the program which controls everything. The DBMS software is more like a wrapper around the physical database, which provides us with an easy-to-use interface to store, access and update data. This software component is capable of understanding the database access language and converts it into actual database commands to execute or run them on the database. The software in DBMS environment includes operating system, database management system, application programs, support utility programs.
- 8. 3. DATA The main task of DBMS is to process the data. Here database are defined, constructed, and then data is stored, retrieved, and updated to and form the database. It is the most important component of the database management system. The database contains both the metadata(data about data) and the actual(operational) data. DBMS exists to collect, store, process and access data, the most important component. In a typical database , the user saved data is present and meta data is stored. For example- when I store my name in a database, the DBMS will store when the name was stored in the database, what is the size of the name, is it stored as related data to some other data, or is it independent, all this information is Metadata.
- 9. 4. PROCEDURES These are the instructions and rules that assist on how to use the DBMS, and in designing and running the database, using documented procedures, to guide the users that operate and manage it. Procedures are used to setup and install a new DBMS to login and logout of DBMS software, to manage DBMS or application programs, to take backup of the database, and to change the structure of the database, etc.
- 10. 5. USER (OR PROPLE) The people are who control and manage the databases and perform different types of operations on the database in the DBMS. The people includes databse administrator, software developer and End user. Software developer-This user group is involved in developing and designing the parts of DBMs. End user- These days all the modern applications, web or mobile, store user data. How do you think the do it? Yes, applications are programmed in such a way that they collect user data and store the data on DBMS system running on their server. End user are the one who store, retrieve, update and delete data.
- 12. ADVANTAGES:- Improved data sharing An advantage of the database management approach is, the DBMS helps to create an environment in which end users have better access to more and better-managed data. Such access makes it possible for end users to respond quickly to changes in their environment.
- 13. Improved data security The more users access the data, the greater the risks of data security breaches. Corporations invest considerable amounts of time, effort, and money to ensure that corporate data are used properly. A DBMS provides a framework for better enforcement of data privacy and security policies.
- 14. Better data integration Wider access to well-managed data promotes an integrated view of the organization’s operations and a clearer view of the big picture. It becomes much easier to see how actions in one segment of the company affect other segments.
- 15. Minimized data inconsistency Data inconsistency exists when different versions of the same data appear in different places. For example, data inconsistency exists when a company’s sales department stores a sales representative’s name as “Bill Brown” and the company’s personnel department stores that same person’s name as “William G. Brown,” or when the company’s regional sales office shows the price of a product as $45.95 and its national sales office shows the same product’s price as $43.95. The probability of data inconsistency is greatly reduced in a properly designed database.
- 16. Improved data access The DBMS makes it possible to produce quick answers to ad hoc queries. From a database perspective, a query is a specific request issued to the DBMS for data manipulation—for example, to read or update the data. Simply put, a query is a question, and an ad hoc query is a spur-of-the-moment question. The DBMS sends back an answer (called the query result set) to the application.
- 17. Improved decision making Better-managed data and improved data access make it possible to generate better-quality information, on which better decisions are based. The quality of the information generated depends on the quality of the underlying data. Data quality is a comprehensive approach to promoting the accuracy, validity, and timeliness of the data. While the DBMS does not guarantee data quality, it provides a framework to facilitate data quality initiatives.
- 18. Increased end-user productivity The availability of data, combined with the tools that transform data into usable information, empowers end users to make quick, informed decisions that can make the difference between success and failure in the global economy.
- 19. DISADVANTAGES:- Increased costs one of the disadvantages of dbms is Database systems require sophisticated hardware and software and highly skilled personnel. The cost of maintaining the hardware, software, and personnel required to operate and manage a database system can be substantial. Training, licensing, and regulation compliance costs are often overlooked when database systems are implemented.
- 20. Management complexity Database systems interface with many different technologies and have a significant impact on a company’s resources and culture. The changes introduced by the adoption of a database system must be properly managed to ensure that they help advance the company’s objectives. Given the fact that database systems hold crucial company data that are accessed from multiple sources, security issues must be assessed constantly.
- 21. Maintaining currency To maximize the efficiency of the database system, you must keep your system current. Therefore, you must perform frequent updates and apply the latest patches and security measures to all components. Because database technology advances rapidly, personnel training costs tend to be significant. Vendor dependence. Given the heavy investment in technology and personnel training, companies might be reluctant to change database vendors.
- 22. Frequent upgrade/replacement cycles DBMS vendors frequently upgrade their products by adding new functionality. Such new features often come bundled in new upgrade versions of the software. Some of these versions require hardware upgrades. Not only do the upgrades themselves cost money, but it also costs money to train database users and administrators to properly use and manage the new features.
