System Architecture Implementation
A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure,
behavior, and more views of a system.[1] An architecture description is a
formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that
supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.
A system architecture can consist of system components and the sub-
systems developed, that will work together to implement the overall
system. There have been efforts to formalize languages to describe system
architecture, collectively these are called
architecture description languages
Database Management System (DBMS) is a software that allows access to
data stored in a database and provides an easy and effective method of –
• Defining the information.
• Storing the information.
• Manipulating the information.
• Protecting the information from system crashes or data theft.
• Differentiating access permissions for different users.
The database system is divided into three components: Query Processor,
Storage Manager, and Disk Storage. These are explained as following
below.
1. Query Processor :
It interprets the requests (queries) received from end user via an application program
into instructions. It also executes the user request which is received from the DML
compiler.
Query Processor contains the following components –
• DML Compiler –
It processes the DML statements into low level instruction (machine language), so that
they can be executed.
• DDL Interpreter –
It processes the DDL statements into a set of table containing meta data (data about
data).
• Embedded DML Pre-compiler –
It processes DML statements embedded in an application program into procedural calls.
• Query Optimizer –
It executes the instruction generated by DML Compiler.
2. Storage Manager :
Storage Manager is a program that provides an interface between the data stored in the
database and the queries received. It is also known as Database Control System. It
maintains the consistency and integrity of the database by applying the constraints and
executes the DCL statements. It is responsible for updating, storing, deleting, and
retrieving data in the database.
It contains the following components –
• Authorization Manager –
It ensures role-based access control, i.e,. checks whether the particular person is
privileged to perform the requested operation or not.
• Integrity Manager –
It checks the integrity constraints when the database is modified.
• Transaction Manager –
It controls concurrent access by performing the operations in a scheduled way that it
receives the transaction. Thus, it ensures that the database remains in the consistent state
before and after the execution of a transaction.
• File Manager –
It manages the file space and the data structure used to represent information in the
database.
• Buffer Manager –
It is responsible for cache memory and the transfer of data between the secondary
storage and main memory.
Disk Storage :
It contains the following components –
• Data Files –
It stores the data.
• Data Dictionary –
It contains the information about the structure of any database object. It is the repository
of information that governs the metadata.
• Indices –
It provides faster retrieval of data item.
