AbouttheTutorial
Database Management System or DBMS in short refers to the technology of
storing and retrieving users’ data with utmost efficiency along with appropriate
security measures. DBMS allows its users to create their own databases as per
their requirement. These databases are highly configurable and offer a bunch of
options.
This tutorial explains the basics of DBMS such as its architecture, data models,
data schemas, data independence, E-R model, relation model, relational database
design, and storage and file structure. In addition, it covers a few advanced topics
such as indexing and hashing, transaction and concurrency, and backup and
recovery.

DBMS

Database is a collection of related data and data is a collection of facts and figures
that can be processed to produce information.
Mostly data represents recordable facts. Data aids in producing information, which is
based on facts. For example, if we have data about marks obtained by all students,
we can then conclude about toppers and average marks.
A database management system stores data in such a way that it becomes easier
to retrieve, manipulate, and produce information.
Characteristics
Traditionally, data was organized in file formats. DBMS was a new concept then, and
all the research was done to make it overcome the deficiencies in traditional style of
data management. A modern DBMS has the following characteristics:
 Real-world entity: A modern DBMS is more realistic and uses real-world
entities to design its architecture. It uses the behavior and attributes too. For
example, a school database may use students as an entity and their age as an
attribute.
 Relation-based tables: DBMS allows entities and relations among them to
form tables. A user can understand the architecture of a database just by
looking at the table names.
 Isolation of data and application: A database system is entirely different
than its data. A database is an active entity, whereas data is said to be passive,
on which the database works and organizes. DBMS also stores metadata, which
is data about data, to ease its own process.
 Less redundancy: DBMS follows the rules of normalization, which splits a
relation when any of its attributes is having redundancy in values.
Normalization is a mathematically rich and scientific process that reduces data
redundancy.
 Consistency: Consistency is a state where every relation in a database
remains consistent. There exist methods and techniques, which can detect
attempt of leaving database in inconsistent state. A DBMS can provide greater
1. OVERVIEW

consistency as compared to earlier forms of data storing applications like file-
processing systems.
 Query Language: DBMS is equipped with query language, which makes it
more efficient to retrieve and manipulate data. A user can apply as many and
as different filtering options as required to retrieve a set of data. Traditionally
it was not possible where file-processing system was used.
 ACID Properties: DBMS follows the concepts of Atomicity, Consistency,
Isolation, and Durability (normally shortened as ACID). These concepts are
applied on transactions, which manipulate data in a database. ACID properties
help the database stay healthy in multi-transactional environments and in case
of failure.
 Multiuser and Concurrent Access: DBMS supports multi-user environment
and allows them to access and manipulate data in parallel. Though there are
restrictions on transactions when users attempt to handle the same data item,
but users are always unaware of them.
 Multiple views: DBMS offers multiple views for different users. A user who is
in the Sales department will have a different view of database than a person
working in the Production department. This feature enables the users to have
a concentrate view of the database according to their requirements.
 Security: Features like multiple views offer security to some extent where
users are unable to access data of other users and departments. DBMS offers
methods to impose constraints while entering data into the database and
retrieving the same at a later stage. DBMS offers many different levels of
security features, which enables multiple users to have different views with
different features. For example, a user in the Sales department cannot see the
data that belongs to the Purchase department. Additionally, it can also be
managed how much data of the Sales department should be displayed to the
user. Since a DBMS is not saved on the disk as traditional file systems, it is
very hard for miscreants to break the code.
Users
A typical DBMS has users with different rights and permissions who use it for different
purposes. Some users retrieve data and some back it up. The users of a DBMS can
be broadly categorized as follows:
DBMS

[Image: DBMS Users]
 Administrators: Administrators maintain the DBMS and are responsible for
administrating the database. They are responsible to look after its usage and
by whom it should be used. They create access profiles for users and apply
limitations to maintain isolation and force security. Administrators also look
after DBMS resources like system license, required tools, and other software
and hardware related maintenance.
 Designers: Designers are the group of people who actually work on the
designing part of the database. They keep a close watch on what data should
be kept and in what format. They identify and design the whole set of entities,
relations, constraints, and views.
 End Users: End users are those who actually reap the benefits of having a
DBMS. End users can range from simple viewers who pay attention to the logs
or market rates to sophisticated users such as business analysts.

The design of a DBMS depends on its architecture. It can be centralized or
decentralized or hierarchical. The architecture of a DBMS can be seen as either single
tier or multi-tier. An n-tier architecture divides the whole system into related but
independent n modules, which can be independently modified, altered, changed, or
replaced.
In 1-tier architecture, the DBMS is the only entity where the user directly sits on the
DBMS and uses it. Any changes done here will directly be done on the DBMS itself.
It does not provide handy tools for end-users. Database designers and programmers
normally prefer to use single-tier architecture.
If the architecture of DBMS is 2-tier, then it must have an application through which
the DBMS can be accessed. Programmers use 2-tier architecture where they access
the DBMS by means of an application. Here the application tier is entirely independent
of the database in terms of operation, design, and programming.
3-tierArchitecture
A 3-tier architecture separates its tiers from each other based on the complexity of
the users and how they use the data present in the database. It is the most widely
used architecture to design a DBMS.

[Image: 3-tier DBMS architecture]
 Database (Data) Tier: At this tier, the database resides along with its query
processing languages. We also have the relations that define the data and their
constraints at this level.

Normalization is a mathematically rich and scientific process that reduces data redundancy.  Consistency: Consistency is a state where every relation in a database remains consistent. There exist methods and techniques, which can detect attempt of leaving database in inconsistent state. A DBMS can provide greater 1. OVERVIEW

A user can apply as many and as different filtering options as required to retrieve a set of data. Traditionally it was not possible where file-processing system was used.  ACID Properties: DBMS follows the concepts of Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (normally shortened as ACID). These concepts are applied on transactions, which manipulate data in a database. ACID properties help the database stay healthy in multi-transactional environments and in case of failure.  Multiuser and Concurrent Access: DBMS supports multi-user environment and allows them to access and manipulate data in parallel. Though there are restrictions on transactions when users attempt to handle the same data item, but users are always unaware of them.  Multiple views: DBMS offers multiple views for different users. A user who is in the Sales department will have a different view of database than a person working in the Production department. This feature enables the users to have a concentrate view of the database according to their requirements.  Security: Features like multiple views offer security to some extent where users are unable to access data of other users and departments. DBMS offers methods to impose constraints while entering data into the database and retrieving the same at a later stage. DBMS offers many different levels of security features, which enables multiple users to have different views with different features. For example, a user in the Sales department cannot see the data that belongs to the Purchase department. Additionally, it can also be managed how much data of the Sales department should be displayed to the user. Since a DBMS is not saved on the disk as traditional file systems, it is very hard for miscreants to break the code. Users A typical DBMS has users with different rights and permissions who use it for different purposes. Some users retrieve data and some back it up. The users of a DBMS can be broadly categorized as follows:

They are responsible to look after its usage and by whom it should be used. They create access profiles for users and apply limitations to maintain isolation and force security. Administrators also look after DBMS resources like system license, required tools, and other software and hardware related maintenance.  Designers: Designers are the group of people who actually work on the designing part of the database. They keep a close watch on what data should be kept and in what format. They identify and design the whole set of entities, relations, constraints, and views.  End Users: End users are those who actually reap the benefits of having a DBMS. End users can range from simple viewers who pay attention to the logs or market rates to sophisticated users such as business analysts.
  • 11. DBMS 10 The design of a DBMS depends on its architecture. It can be centralized or decentralized or hierarchical. The architecture of a DBMS can be seen as either single tier or multi-tier. An n-tier architecture divides the whole system into related but independent n modules, which can be independently modified, altered, changed, or replaced. In 1-tier architecture, the DBMS is the only entity where the user directly sits on the DBMS and uses it. Any changes done here will directly be done on the DBMS itself. It does not provide handy tools for end-users. Database designers and programmers normally prefer to use single-tier architecture. If the architecture of DBMS is 2-tier, then it must have an application through which the DBMS can be accessed. Programmers use 2-tier architecture where they access the DBMS by means of an application. Here the application tier is entirely independent of the database in terms of operation, design, and programming. 3-tierArchitecture A 3-tier architecture separates its tiers from each other based on the complexity of the users and how they use the data present in the database. It is the most widely used architecture to design a DBMS. 2. ARCHITECTURE
