1.Introduction to Database Management System
• A database-management system (DBMS) is a collection
of interrelated data and a set of programs to access those
data.
• The collection of data referred to as the database which
contains information relevant to an enterprise.
• The primary goal of a DBMS is to provide a way to store
and retrieve database information that is both convenient
and efficient

• Database Management System (DBMS): A software package/
system to facilitate the creation and maintenance of a
computerized database.
• It defines (data types, structures, constraints), construct
(storing data on some storage medium controlled by DBMS)
and manipulate (querying, update, report generation)
databases for various applications.
.

• A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software
package designed to store and manage databases:
1. Manages very large amounts of data.
2. Supports efficient access to very large amounts of data.
3. Supports concurrent access to very large amounts of data.
• Example: bank and its ATM machines.
4. Supports secure, atomic access to very large amounts of
data.

• Database systems are designed to manage large
bodies of information.
• Management of data involves both defining
structures for storage of information and
providing mechanisms for the manipulation of
information.

• The database system must ensure the safety of the information stored,
despite system crashes or attempts at unauthorized access.
• If data are to be shared among several users, the system must avoid
possible anomalous results.
• Because information is so important in most organizations, computer
scientists have developed a large body of concepts and techniques for
managing data.

Advantages of DBMS
• Data independence
• Application programs should not be exposed
to details of data representation and storage,
The DBMS provides an abstract view of the
data that hides such details.

Efficient Data Access
• A DBMS utilizes a variety of sophisticated
techniques to store and retrieve data
efficiently.

Data Integrity and Security
• If data is always accessed through the DBMS, the
DBMS can enforce integrity constraints.
• For example, before inserting salary information for an
employee, the DBMS can check that the department
budget is not exceeded.
• The DBMS can enforce access controls that govern
what data is visible to different classes of users.

Data Administration
• When several users share the data, centralizing
the administration of data can offer retrieval
efficient.
• DBA(Data base Administrator) responsible for
organizing the data representation to minimize
redundancy and for fine-tuning the storage of the
data to make retrieval efficient.

Concurrent Access and Crash Recovery
• A DBMS schedules concurrent accesses to the
data in such a manner that users can think of
the data as being accessed by only one user at
a time.
• The DBMS protects users from the effects of
system failures.

Reduced Application Development
Time
• The DBMS supports important functions that are
common to many applications accessing data in the
DBMS.
• DBMS applications are also likely to be more robust
than similar stand-alone applications because many
important tasks are handled by the DBMS

2.Database System Applications
• Databases are widely used
• Banking: For customer information, accounts, and
loans, and banking transactions.
• Airlines: For reservations and schedule information.
• Universities: For student information, course
registrations, and grades.

• Credit card transactions: For purchases on credit cards and
generation of monthly statements.
• Telecommunication: For keeping records of calls made,
generating monthly bills, maintaining balances on prepaid
calling cards, and storing information about the
communication networks.
• Finance: For storing information about holdings, sales, and
purchases of financial instruments such as stocks and
bonds.

• Sales: For customer, product, and purchase information.
• Manufacturing: For management of supply chain and for
tracking production of items in factories, inventories of
items in warehouses/stores, and orders for items.
• Human resources: For information about employees,
salaries, payroll taxes and benefits, and for generation of
paychecks.

Database Systems versus File Systems
• Consider part of a savings-bank enterprise that keeps
information about all customers and savings accounts.
• One way to keep the information on a computer is to
store it in operating system files.
• To allow users to manipulate the information, the
system has a number of application programs that
manipulate the files

• System programmers wrote these application
programs to meet the needs of the bank.
• New application programs are added to the
system as the need arises.
• Thus, as time goes by, the system acquires
more files and more application programs.

• This typical file-processing system is supported by a
conventional operating system.
• The system stores permanent records in various files,
and it needs different application programs to extract
records from, and add records to, the appropriate files.
• Before database management systems (DBMSs) came
along, organizations usually stored information in file
systems.

Keeping organizational information in a file-processing system
has a number of major disadvantages
• Data redundancy and inconsistency.
• Since different programmers create the files and
application programs over a long period, the various
files are likely to have different formats and the
programs may be written in several programming
languages.
• The same information may be duplicated in several
places (files).

example
• The address and telephone number of a particular customer
may appear in a file that consists of savings-account records
and in a file that consists of checking-account records.
• This redundancy leads to higher storage and access cost.
• It may lead to data inconsistency.
• That is, the various copies of the same data may no longer
agree.
• For example, a changed customer address may be reflected in
savings-account records but not elsewhere in the system.

Difficulty in accessing data
• Suppose that one of the bank officers needs
to find out the names of all customers who
live within a particular postal-code area.
• The officer asks the data-processing
department to generate such a list.

Difficulty in accessing data
• conventional file-processing environments do
not allow needed data to be retrieved in a
convenient and efficient manner.
• More responsive data-retrieval systems are
required for general use.

Data isolation
• Because data are scattered in various files,
and files may be in different formats, writing
new application programs to retrieve the
appropriate data is difficult.

Integrity problems
• The data values stored in the database must satisfy certain types of
consistency constraints.
• For example, the balance of a bank account may never fall below a
prescribed amount (say, $100).
• Developers enforce these constraints in the system by adding
appropriate code in the various application programs.
• when new constraints are added, it is difficult to change the
programs to enforce them.
• The problem is compounded when constraints involve several data
items from different files.

Atomicity problems
• A computer system, like any other mechanical or electrical device, is subject to
failure.
• In many applications, it is crucial that, if a failure occurs, the data be restored to
the consistent state that existed prior to the failure.
• Consider a program to transfer $50 from account A to account B.
• If a system failure occurs during the execution of the program, it is possible that
the $50 was removed from account A but was not credited to account B, resulting
in an inconsistent database state.
• Clearly, it is essential to database consistency that either both the credit and debit
occur, or that neither occur.

Atomicity problems
• That is, the funds transfer must be atomic—it
must happen in its entirety or not at all.
• It is difficult to ensure atomicity in a
conventional file-processing system.

Concurrent-access anomalies
• For the sake of overall performance of the system and faster
response, many systems allow multiple users to update the data
simultaneously.
• In this environment, interaction of concurrent updates may result in
inconsistent data.
• Consider bank account A, containing $500.
• If two customers withdraw funds (say $50 and $100 respectively)
from account A at about the same time, the result of the concurrent
executions may leave the account in an incorrect (or inconsistent)
state.

Concurrent-access anomalies
• Suppose that the programs executing on behalf of each withdrawal read the old
balance, reduce that value by the amount being withdrawn, and write the result
back.
• If the two programs run concurrently, they may both read the value $500, and write
back $450 and $400, respectively.
• Depending on which one writes the value last, the account may contain either $450
or $400, rather than the correct value of $350.
• Therefore, the system must maintain some form of supervision.
• In file systems supervision is difficult to provide because data may be accessed by
many different application programs that have not been coordinated previously.

Security problems
• Not every user of the database system should be able to access all
the data.
• For example, in a banking system, payroll personnel need to see
only that part of the database that has information about the various
bank employees.
• They do not need access to information about customer accounts.
• But, since application programs are added to the system in an ad hoc
manner, enforcing such security constraints is difficult.

Data models
• A data model is a collection of conceptual tools for describing data, data
relationships, data semantics, and consistency constraints.
• The entity–relationship (E-R) model is a high-level data model. It is based
on a perception of a real world that consists of a collection of basic objects,
called entities, and of relationships among these objects.
• The relational model is a lower-level model. It uses a collection of tables to
represent both data and the relationships among those data.
• Today a vast majority of database products are based on the relational
model.
• Designers often formulate database schema design by first modeling data
at a high level, using the E-R model, and then translating it into the
relational model.

DBMS Database Models
• A Database model defines the logical design and structure of a
database and defines how data will be stored, accessed and
updated in a database management system.
• While the Relational Model is the most widely used database
model, there are other models too:
• Hierarchical Model
• Network Model
• Entity-relationship Model
• Relational Model

Data Models
• The structure of a database is the data model:
a collection of conceptual Tools for describing
data, data relationships, data semantics, and
consistency constraints.
• Data models provide a way to describe the
design of a database at the logical level.

Hierarchical Model
• This database model organizes data into a tree-like-structure, with a single
root, to which all the other data is linked.
• The hierarchy starts from the Root data, and expands like a tree, adding
child nodes to the parent nodes.
• In this model, a child node will only have a single parent node.
• This model efficiently describes many real-world relationships like index of
a book, recipes etc.
• In hierarchical model, data is organized into tree-like structure with one
one-to-many relationship between two different types of data, for example,
one department can have many courses, many professors and of-course
many students.

Network Model
• This is an extension of the Hierarchical model. In this model data is
organized more like a graph, and are allowed to have more than one parent
node.
• In this database model data is more related as more relationships are
established in this database model. Also, as the data is more related, hence
accessing the data is also easier and fast.
• This database model was used to map many-to-many data relationships.
• This was the most widely used database model, before Relational Model
was introduced.

The Entity-Relationship Model
• The entity-relationship (E-R) data model is based on a
perception of a real world that consists of a collection of
basic objects, called entities, and of relationships among
these objects.
• An entity is a “thing” or “object” in the real world that is
distinguishable from other objects.
• For example, each person is an entity, and bank accounts
can be considered as entities.

• Entities are described in a database by a set of
attributes.
• For example, the attributes account-number and
balance may describe one particular account in a bank,
and they form attributes of the account entity set.
• Similarly, attributes customer-name, customer-street
address and customer-city may describe a customer
entity.

• A relationship is an association among several
entities.
• For example, a depositor relationship
associates a customer with each account.

Entity-relationship Model
• In this database model, relationships are created by
dividing object of interest into entity and its
characteristics into attributes.
• Different entities are related using relationships.
• E-R Models are defined to represent the relationships
into pictorial form to make it easier for different
stakeholders to understand.
• This model is good to design a database, which can
then be turned into tables in relational model.

• The overall logical structure (schema) of a database can be
expressed graphically by an E-R diagram, which is built up
from the following components
• Rectangles, which represent entity
• Ellipses, which represent attributes
• Diamonds, which represent relationships among entity sets
• Lines, which link attributes to entity sets and entity sets to
relationships

• Each component is labeled with the entity or
relationship that it represents
• consider part of a database banking system
consisting of customers and of the accounts
that these customers have

• The E-R diagram indicates that there are two
entity sets, customer and account, with
attributes.
• The diagram also shows a relationship
depositor between customer and account

Relational Model
• The relational model uses a collection of
tables to represent both data and the
relationships among those data.
• Each table has multiple columns, and each
column has a unique name.

Relational Model
• In this model, data is organised in two-dimensional tables and the
relationship is maintained by storing a common field.
• This model was introduced by E.F Codd in 1970, and since then it has been
the most widely used database model, infact, we can say the only database
model used around the world.
• The basic structure of data in the relational model is tables. All the
information related to a particular type is stored in rows of that table.
• Hence, tables are also known as relations in relational model.

Relational Model
• presents a sample relational database comprising three tables:
• One shows details of bank customers, the second shows accounts,
and the third shows which accounts belong to which customers.
• Each table contains records of a particular type.
• Each record type defines a fixed number of fields, or attributes.
• The columns of the table correspond to the attributes of the record
type

Relational Model
• a special character (such as a comma) may be used to
delimit the different attributes of a record, and another
special character (such as a newline character) may be
used to delimit records.
• The relational model hides such low-level
implementation details from database developers and
users.

Relational Model
• The relational model is at a lower level of
abstraction than the E-R model.
• Database designs are often carried out in the
E-R model, and then translated to the
relational model.

View of Data
• A database system is a collection of interrelated
files and a set of programs that allow users to
access and modify these files.
• A major purpose of a database system is to
provide users with an abstract view of the data.
• That is, the system hides certain details of how
the data are stored and maintained.

Data Abstraction
• For the system to be usable, it must retrieve data
efficiently.
• The need for efficiency has led designers to use complex
data structures to represent data in the database.
• Since many database-systems users are not computer
trained, developers hide the complexity from users through
several levels of abstraction, to simplify users’ interactions
with the system

Physical level
• The lowest level of abstraction describes how
the data are actually stored.
• The physical level describes complex low-level
data structures in detail.

Logical level
• The next-higher level of abstraction describes what data are stored
in the database, and what relationships exist among those data.
• The logical level thus describes the entire database in terms of a
small number of relatively simple structures.
• Although implementation of the simple structures at the logical
level may involve complex physical-level structures, the user of the
logical level does not need to be aware of this complexity.
• Database administrators, who must decide what information to
keep in the database, use the logical level of abstraction.

View level
• The highest level of abstraction describes only part of the entire database.
• Even though the logical level uses simpler structures, complexity remains
because of the variety of information stored in a large database.
• Many users of the database system do not need all this information.
• They need to access only a part of the database.
• The view level of abstraction exists to simplify their interaction with the
system.
• The system may provide many views for the same database.

View level
• account, with fields account-number and
balance
• employee, with fields employee-name and
salary

Example: view of data
• At the physical level, a customer, account, or
employee record can be described as a block
of consecutive storage locations (for example,
words or bytes).
• The language compiler hides this level of
detail from programmers.

• Similarly, the database system hides many of
the lowest-level storage details from database
programmers.
• Database administrators may be aware of
certain details of the physical organization of
the data.

• At the logical level, each record is described by
a type definition.
• Programmers using a programming language
work at this level of abstraction.
• Similarly, database administrators usually
work at this level of abstraction

• at the view level, computer users see a set of application programs that hide details
of the data types.
• Similarly, at the view level, several views of the database are defined, and database
users see these views.
• In addition to hiding details of the logical level of the database, the views also
provide a security mechanism to prevent users from accessing certain parts of the
database.
• For example, tellers in a bank see only that part of the database that has information
on customer accounts.
• They cannot access information about salaries of employees.

Instances and Schemas
• Databases change over time as information is inserted
and deleted.
• The collection of information stored in the database at
a particular moment is called an instance of the
database.
• The overall design of the database is called the
database schema.
• Schemas are changed infrequently.

• A database schema corresponds to the variable
declarations (along with associated type definitions) in
a program.
• Each variable has a particular value at a given instant.
• The values of the variables in a program at a point in
time correspond to an instance of a database schema

• Database systems have several schemas, partitioned according to
the levels of abstraction.
• The physical schema describes the database design at the physical
level.
• the logical schema describes the database design at the logical
level.
• A database may also have several schemas at the view level,
sometimes called subschemas, that describe different views of the
database

• programmers construct applications by using the logical
schema.
• The physical schema is hidden beneath the logical schema, and
can usually be changed easily without affecting application
programs.
• Application programs are said to exhibit physical data
independence if they do not depend on the physical schema,
and thus need not be rewritten if the physical schema changes

Data Independence
• Applications insulated from how data is
structured and stored.
• Logical data independence: Protection from
changes in logical structure of data.
• Physical data independence: Protection from
changes in physical structure of data.
76

Levels of Abstraction
• Many views, single
conceptual (logical) schema
and physical schema.
– Views describe how users see
the data.
– Conceptual schema defines
logical structure
– Physical schema describes the
files and indexes used.

Database Languages
• A database system provides a data definition language to
specify the database schema and a data manipulation
language to express database queries and updates.
• The data definition and data manipulation languages are
not two separate languages.
• instead they simply form parts of a single database
language, such as the widely used SQL language

Data-Definition Language
• Specify a database schema by a set of definitions
expressed by a special language called a data-
definition language (DDL).
• the following statement in the SQL language
defines the account table:
• Create table account(account-number
char(10),balance integer).

DDL
• DDL statement creates the account table.
• it updates a special set of tables called the
data dictionary or data directory.

Database Languages
• A data dictionary contains metadata—that is,
data about data.
• The schema of a table is an example of metadata.
• A database system consults the data dictionary
before reading or modifying actual data.

Database Languages
• specify the storage structure and access methods
used by the database system by a set of
statements in a special type of DDL called a data
storage and definition language.
• These statements define the implementation
details of the database schemas, which are
usually hidden from the users

Database Languages
• The data values stored in the database must
satisfy certain consistency constraints.
• For example, suppose the balance on an
account should not fall below $100.
• The DDL provides facilities to specify such
constraints.
• The database systems check these constraints
every time the database is updated

Data-Manipulation Language
• Data manipulation is
• The retrieval of information stored in the
database
• The insertion of new information into the
database
• The deletion of information from the database
• The modification of information stored in the
database

DML
• A data-manipulation language (DML) is a
language that enables users to access or
manipulate data as organized by the
appropriate data model.
• There are basically two types:

DML
• Procedural DMLs require a user to specify
what data are needed and how to get those
data.
• Declarative DMLs (also referred to as
nonprocedural DMLs) require a user to specify
what data are needed without specifying how
to get those data.

DML..
• Declarative DMLs are usually easier to learn
and use than are procedural DMLs.
• since a user does not have to specify how to
get the data, the database system has to
figure out an efficient means of accessing
data.
• The DML component of the SQL language is
nonprocedural

QUERY
• A query is a statement requesting the retrieval of information.
• The portion of a DML that involves information retrieval is called a
query language
• This query in the SQL language finds the name of the customer
whose customer-id is 192-83-7465:
• select customer.customer-name
• from customer
• where customer.customer-id = 192-83-7465

Database Users and Administrators
• A primary goal of a database system is to
retrieve information from and store new
information in the database.
• People who work with a database can be
categorized as database users or database
administrators

Database Users and User Interfaces
• There are four different types of database-
system users, differentiated by the way they
expect to interact with the system.
• Different types of user interfaces have been
designed for the different types of users.

Naive users
• Naive users are unsophisticated users who interact with the
system by invoking one of the application programs that
have been written previously.
• For example, a bank teller who needs to transfer $50 from
account A to account B invokes a program called transfer.
• This program asks the teller for the amount of money to be
transferred, the account from which the money is to be
transferred, and the account to which the money is to be
transferred.

Naive users
• As another example, consider a user who wishes to find her
account balance over the World Wide Web. Such a user may access
a form, where she enters her account number.
• An application program at the Web server then retrieves the
account balance, using the given account number, and passes this
information back to the user.
• The typical user interface for naive users is a forms interface, where
the user can fill in appropriate fields of the form

Application programmers
• Application programmers are computer professionals who write application
programs.
• Application programmers can choose from many tools to develop user interfaces.
• Rapid application development (RAD) tools are tools that enable an application
programmer to construct forms and reports without writing a program.
• There are also special types of programming languages that combine imperative
control structures (for example, for loops, while loops and if-then-else statements)
with statements of the data manipulation language.
• These languages, sometimes called fourth-generation languages, include special
features to facilitate the generation of forms and the display of data on the screen.
• Most major commercial database systems include a fourth generation language.

Sophisticated users
• interact with the system without writing programs.
Instead,they form their requests in a database query language.
• They submit each such query to a query processor, whose
function is to break down DML statements into instructions
that the storage manager understands.
• Analysts who submit queries to explore data in the database
fall in this category.

Sophisticated users
• Online analytical processing (OLAP) tools simplify analysts’ tasks by
letting them view summaries of data in different ways.
• For instance, an analyst can see total sales by region (for example, North,
South, East, and West), or by product, or by a combination of region and
product (that is, total sales of each product in each region).
• The tools also permit the analyst to select specific regions, look at data in
more detail (for example, sales by city within a region) or look at the data
in less detail (for example, aggregate products together by category).
• Another tools for analysts is data mining tools, which help them find
certain kinds of patterns in data

Specialized users
• Specialized users are sophisticated users who write
specialized database applications that do not fit into the
traditional data-processing framework.
• computer-aided design systems, knowledgebase and
expert systems, systems that store data with complex
data types (for example, graphics data and audio data),
and environment-modeling systems.

Database Administrator
• One of the main reasons for using DBMSs is
to have central control of both the data and the
programs that access those data.
• A person who has such central control over
the system is called a database administrator
(DBA).

DBA Responsibilities
• Schema definition. The DBA creates the original database
schema by executing a set of data definition statements in the
DDL.
• Storage structure and access-method definition.
• Schema and physical-organization modification. The DBA
carries out changes to the schema and physical organization to
reflect the changing needs of the organization, or to alter the
physical organization to improve performance.

• Granting of authorization for data access. By granting
different types of authorization, the database administrator
can regulate which parts of the database various users can
access.
• The authorization information is kept in a special system
structure that the database system consults whenever
someone attempts to access the data in the system

• Routine maintenance. Examples of the database administrator’s
routine maintenance activities are:
• Periodically backing up the database, either onto tapes or onto remote
servers, to prevent loss of data in case of disasters such as flooding.
• Ensuring that enough free disk space is available for normal
operations, and upgrading disk space as required.
• Monitoring jobs running on the database and ensuring that
performance is not degraded by very expensive tasks submitted by
some users.

Database System Structure
• A database system is partitioned into modules
that deal with each of the responsibilities of the
overall system.
• The functional components of a database system
can be broadly divided into the storage manager
and the query processor components.

Storage Manager
• A 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 for the interaction with the file manager.
• The raw data are stored on the disk using the file system, which is usually provided
by a conventional operating system.
• The storage manager translates the various DML statements into low-level file-
system commands.
• Thus, the storage manager is responsible for storing, retrieving, and updating data
in the database.

The storage manager components include
• Authorization and integrity manager, which tests for the satisfaction of
integrity constraints and checks the authority of users to access data.
• Transaction manager, which ensures that the database remains in a
consistent (correct) state despite system failures, and that concurrent
transaction executions proceed without conflicting.
• File manager, which manages the allocation of space on disk storage and
the data structures used to represent information stored on disk.
• Buffer manager, which is responsible for fetching data from disk storage
into main memory, and deciding what data to cache in main memory.
• The buffer manager is a critical part of the database system, since it enables
the database to handle data sizes that are much larger than the size of main
memory

storage manager
• The storage manager implements several data structures as
part of the physical system implementation
• Data files, which store the database itself.
• Data dictionary, which stores metadata about the structure of
the database, in particular the schema of the database.
• Indices, which provide fast access to data items that hold
particular values

The Query Processor
• The query processor components include
• DDL interpreter, which interprets DDL statements and records the definitions in
the data dictionary.
• DML compiler, which translates DML statements in a query language into an
evaluation plan consisting of low-level instructions that the query evaluation engine
understands.
• A query can usually be translated into any of a number of alternative evaluation
plans that all give the same result.
• The DML compiler also performs query optimization, that is, it picks the lowest
cost evaluation plan from among the alternatives.
• Query evaluation engine, which executes low-level instructions generated by the
DML compiler.
