Data

Data is a collection of information gathered by observations, measurements, research or analysis. They


may consist of facts, numbers, names, figures or even description of things. Data is organized in the
form of graphs, charts or tables.

DataBase :- Database is a collection of well organized of interrelated data.


Database is a group of data. Data is stored in an organized manner in a database.
Data is stored in a database in a good manner so that this data can be easily accessed, managed
and updated when needed.
For example – A lot of books are stored in a library. That is, a library is a collection of many books. Here
the library is a database and books are data.

DBMS (Database Management System) is used to manage the database.

Database Management System:-


A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that is designed to manage and organize
data in a structured manner. It allows users to create, modify, and query a database, as well as manage
the security and access controls for that database

DBMS allows users the following tasks:


Data Definition: It helps in the creation, modification, and removal of definitions that define the
organization of data in the database.
Data Updation: It helps in the insertion, modification, and deletion of the actual data in the database.
Data Retrieval: It helps in the retrieval of data from the database which can be used by applications for
various purposes.
User Administration: It helps in registering and monitoring users, enforcing data security, monitoring
performance, maintaining data integrity, dealing with concurrency control, and recovering information
corrupted by unexpected failure.

Application of DBMS
Enterprise Information: Sales, accounting, human resources, Manufacturing, online retailers.
Banking and Finance Sector: Banks maintaining the customer details, accounts, loans, banking
transactions, credit card transactions. Finance: Storing the information about sales and holdings,
purchasing of financial stocks and bonds.
University: Maintaining the information about student course enrolled information, student grades,
staff roles.
Airlines: Reservations and schedules.
Telecommunications: Prepaid, postpaid bills maintance.

Advantages of Database Management System


 The advantages of database management systems are:
 Data Security: A Database Management System (DBMS) provides a better platform for data
privacy and security policies thus, helping companies to improve Data Security.
 Data integration: Due to the Database Management System we have access to well-managed
and synchronized forms of data thus it makes data handling very easy and gives an integrated
view of data.
 Data abstraction: The major purpose of a database system is to provide users with an abstract
view of the data. Since many complex algorithms are used by the developers to increase the
efficiency of databases that are being hidden by the users through various data abstraction
levels to allow users to easily interact with the system.
 Reduction in data Redundancy: When working with a structured database, DBMS provides the
feature to prevent the input of duplicate items in the database. for e.g. – If there are two same
students in different rows, then one of the duplicate data will be deleted.
 Data sharing: A DBMS provides a platform for sharing data across multiple applications and
users, which can increase productivity and collaboration.
 Data consistency and accuracy: DBMS ensures that data is consistent and accurate by enforcing
data integrity constraints and preventing data duplication. This helps to eliminate data
discrepancies and errors that can occur when data is stored and managed manually.

Disadvantages of DBMS
Increased Cost:
These are different types of costs:
1. Cost of Hardware and Software –
This is because, for DBMS, it is mandatory to have a high-speed processor and also a large
memory size.
2. Cost of Staff Training –
Educated staff (database administrator, application programmers, data entry operations) who
maintains the database management system also requires a good amount
3. Cost of Data Conversion-
This is because for this conversion we need to hire database system designers whom we have to
pay a lot of money and also services of some software house will be required.
4. Complexity:
5. Performance:
