Introduction to Databases
Agenda

• File-based Systems
• History of Database
• Database Management Systems (DBMS)
File-based Definition

• Program defines and manages it’s own data


Limitations of File-based

• Separation and isolation


• Duplication
• Program & data dependence
• Fixed queries
• Proliferation of application programs
History of Database Systems
• First generation
– Hierarchical model
• Information Management System (IMS)
– Network model
• Conference on Data System Languages (CODASYL)
• Data Base Task Group (DBTG)
– Limitation
• Complex program for simple query
• Minimum data independence
• No theoretical foundation
• Second generation
– Relational model
• E. R. Codd
• DB2, Oracle
– Limitation
• Limited data modeling
• Third generation
– Object-relational DBMS
– Object-oriented DBMS
Database

• Definition
– A collection of self-describing and integrated
data files
• System catalog

• Structured query language (SQL)
• Security system
• Integrity system
• Concurrency control system
• Backup & recovery system
• View mechanism
DBMS Environment
• Hardware
– Client-server architecture
• Software
– dbms, os, network, application
• Data
– Schema, subschema, table, attribute
• People
– Data administrator & database administrator
– Database designer: logical & physical
– Application programmer
– End-user: naive & sophisticated
• Procedure
– Start, stop, log on, log off, back up, recovery
Advantages of DBMS
• Control redundancy
• Consistency
• Integrity
• Security
• Concurrency control
• Backup & recovery
• Data standard
• More information
• Data sharing & conflict control
• Productivity & accessibility
• Economy of scale
• Maintenance
Limitations of DBMS

• Complexity
• Size
