An overview of database management system
A database-management system (DBMS) is a collection of interrelated data and a set of programs to
access those data. This is a collection of related data with an implicit meaning and hence is a database.
The collection of data, usually referred to as the database, 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.
By data, we mean known facts that can be recorded and that have implicit meaning. 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. In
addition, 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
Database System Vs File System
A database management system coordinates both the physical and the logical access to the data,
whereas a file-processing system coordinates only the physical access.
A database management system reduces the amount of data duplication by ensuring that a physical
piece of data is available to all programs authorized to have access to it, whereas data written by one
program in a file-processing system may not be readable by another program.
A database management system is designed to allow flexible access to data (i.e., queries), whereas a
file-processing system is designed to allow predetermined access to data (i.e., compiled programs).
A database management system is designed to coordinate multiple users accessing the same data at
the same time. A file-processing system is usually designed to allow one or more programs to access
different data files at the same time. In a file-processing system, a file can be accessed by two
programs concurrently only if both programs have read-only access to the file.
Redundancy is control in DBMS, but not in file system
Unauthorized access is restricted in DBMS but not in file system.

DBMS provide backup and recovery. When data is lost in file system then it not recover.
DBMS provide multiple user interfaces. Data is isolated in file system
Advantages and Disadvantages of a DBMS

Using a DBMS to manage data has many advantages:
Data independence: Application programs should be as independent as possible from details of data
representation and storage. The DBMS can provide an abstract view of the data to insulate
application code from such details.
Efficient data access: A DBMS utilizes a variety of sophisticated techniques to store and retrieve
data efficiently. This feature is especially important if the data is stored on external storage devices.
Data integrity and security: If data is always accessed through the DBMS, the DBMS can enforce
integrity constraints on the data. For example, before inserting salary information for an employee,
the DBMS can check that the department budget is not exceeded. Also, 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 significant improvements. Experienced professionals, who understand the nature of the data
being managed, and how different groups of users use it, can be responsible for organizing the data
representation to minimize redundancy and 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. Further, the
DBMS protects users from the effects of system failures.
Reduced application development time: Clearly, the DBMS supports many important functions
that are common to many applications accessing data stored in the DBMS. This, in conjunction with
the high-level interface to the data, facilitates quick development of applications. Such applications
are also likely to be more robust than applications developed from scratch because many important
tasks are handled by the DBMS instead of being implemented by the application.
Disadvantages of a DBMS
Danger of a Overkill: For small and simple applications for single users a database system is often
not advisable.
Complexity: A database system creates additional complexity and requirements. The supply and
operation of a database management system with several users and databases is quite costly and
demanding.
Qualified Personnel: The professional operation of a database system requires appropriately trained
staff. Without a qualified database administrator nothing will work for long.
Costs: Through the use of a database system new costs are generated for the system itself but also
for additional hardware and the more complex handling of the system.
Lower Efficiency: A database system is a multi-use software which is often less efficient than
specialized software which is produced and optimized exactly for one problem.
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

Mukesh Kumar
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; instead, 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
Database Instance
The collection of information stored in the database at a particular moment is called an instance of the
database. A database instance is a state of operational database with data at any given time. It contains a
snapshot of the database. Database instances tend to change with time. A DBMS ensures that its every
instance (state) is in a valid state, by diligently following all the validations, constraints, and conditions
that the database designers have imposed.
Database Schema
The overall design of the database is called the 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 sub-schemas, that
describe different views of the database.

Mukesh Kumar
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. Therefore Database schema skeleton
structure of and it represents the logical view of entire database. It tells about how the data is organized
and how relation among them is associated. A database schema defines its entities and the relationship
among them. Database schema is a descriptive detail of the database, which can be depicted by means of
schema diagrams.
Data Independence
A database system normally contains a lot of data in addition to users data. For example, it stores data
about data, known as metadata, to locate and retrieve data easily. It is rather difficult to modify or update
a set of metadata once it is stored in the database. But as a DBMS expands, it needs to change over time
to satisfy the requirements of the users. If the entire data is dependent, it would become a tedious and
highly complex job.
Logical Data Independence

Logical data is data about database, that is, it stores information about how data is managed inside. For
example, a table (relation) stored in the database and all its constraints, applied on that relation.
Logical data independence is a kind of mechanism, which liberalizes itself from actual data stored on the
disk. If we do some changes on table format, it should not change the data residing on the disk.

Mukesh Kumar
Physical Data Independence

All the schemas are logical, and the actual data is stored in bit format on the disk. Physical data
independence is the power to change the physical data without impacting the schema or logical data.
For example, in case we want to change or upgrade the storage system itself suppose we want to
replace hard-disks with SSD it should not have any impact on the logical data or schemas.
DBMS - Data Models
Data model: A collection of conceptual tools for describing data, data relationships, data semantics, and
consistency constraints.
Entity-Relationship Model: Entity-Relationship (ER) Model is based on the notion of real-world
entities and relationships among them. While formulating real-world scenario into the database model,
the ER Model creates entity set, relationship set, general attributes and constraints.
ER Model is best used for the conceptual design of a database. ER Model is based on the following
Entities and their attributes.
Relationships among entities.
Entity: 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, in a school database, a student is considered as an
entity. Student has various attributes like name, age, class, etc.
Relationship: The logical association among entities is called relationship. Relationships are mapped
with entities in various ways. Mapping cardinalities define the number of association between two
entities.
Relational Model
The most popular data model in DBMS is the Relational Model. It is more scientific a model than
others. This model is based on first-order predicate logic and defines a table as an n-ary relation.
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.

Mukesh Kumar
The relational model is an example of a record-based model. Record-based models are so named
because the database is structured in fixed-format records of several types. 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.
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.
Other Data Models
Object-oriented data model: Object-oriented data model is another data model that has seen increasing
attention. The object-oriented model can be seen as extending the E-R model with notions of
encapsulation, methods (functions), and object identity.
Object-Relational data model: The object-relational data model combines features of the objectoriented data model and relational data model.
Semi Structured data model: Semi structured data models permit the specification of data where
individual data items of the same type may have different sets of attributes. This is in contrast with the
data models mentioned earlier, where every data item of a particular type must have the same set of
attributes. The extensible markup language (XML) is widely used to represent semi-structured data.
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.

Mukesh Kumar
Data-Definition Language (DDL)

DDL is used for specifying the database schema. Following statements comes under DDL.
To create the database instance CREATE
To alter the structure of database ALTER
To drop database instances DROP
To delete tables in a database instance TRUNCATE
To rename database instances RENAME
All these commands specify or update the database schema thats why they come under Data Definition
language.
Data Manipulation Language (DML): DML is used for accessing and manipulating data in a database.
To read records from table(s) SELECT
To insert record(s) into the table(s) INSERT
Update the data in table(s) UPDATE
Delete all the records from the table DELETE
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:
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.
Data Control language (DCL): DCL is used for granting and revoking user access on a database
To grant access to user GRANT
To revoke access from user REVOKE
Transaction Control (TCL) : Statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements. It
allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions.
COMMIT - save work done
SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back
ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT
SET TRANSACTION - Change transaction options like isolation level and what rollback
segment to use.
Database Users
Database users are the one who really use and take the benefits of database. There will be different types
of users depending on their need and way of accessing the database.
Naive Users - these are the users who use the existing application to interact with the database.
For example, online library system, ticket booking systems, ATMs etc which has existing
application and users use them to interact with the database to fulfill their requests.
Application Programmers - They are the developers who interact with the database by means
of DML queries. These DML queries are written in the application programs like C, C++, JAVA,
Pascal etc. These queries are converted into object code to communicate with the database. For
example, writing a C program to generate the report of employees who are working in particular
department will involve a query to fetch the data from database. It will include a embedded SQL
query in the C Program.

Mukesh Kumar
Sophisticated Users - They are database developers, who write SQL queries to
select/insert/delete/update data. They do not use any application or programs to request the
database. They directly interact with the database by means of query language like SQL. These
users will be scientists, engineers, analysts who thoroughly study SQL and DBMS to apply the
concepts in their requirement. In short, we can say this category includes designers and
developers of DBMS and SQL.
Specialized Users - These are also sophisticated users, but they write special database
application programs. They are the developers who develop the complex programs to the
requirement.
Stand-alone Users - These users will have stand alone database for their personal use. These
kinds of database will have readymade database packages which will have menus and graphical
interfaces.
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). The functions of a DBA include:
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 administrators routine maintenance activities
are:
o Periodically backing up the database, either onto tapes or onto remote servers, to prevent
loss of data in case of disasters such as flooding.
o Ensuring that enough free disk space is available for normal operations, and upgrading
disk space as required.
o Monitoring jobs running on the database and ensuring that performance is not degraded
by very expensive tasks submitted by some users.
Database System Architectures
Database architecture is logically divided into two types.
Logical two-tier Client / Server architecture
Logical three-tier Client / Server architecture
1. Two-tier Architecture: In two-tier architecture, the application is partitioned into a component that
resides at the client machine, which invokes database system functionality at the server machine
through query language statements. Application program interface standards like ODBC and JDBC
are used for interaction between the client and the server.

Mukesh Kumar
2. Three-tier Architecture: in a three-tier architecture, the client machine acts as merely a front end
and does not contain any direct database calls. Instead, the client end communicates with an
application server, usually through a forms interface. The application server in turn communicates
with a database system to access data. The business logic of the application, which says what actions
to carry out under what conditions, is embedded in the application server, instead of being
distributed across multiple clients. Three-tier applications are more appropriate for large
applications, and for applications that run on theWorld WideWeb.

Mukesh Kumar
Other Architecture:
Centralized Systems
Client-Server Systems
Centralized Systems
Run on a single computer system and do not interact with other computer systems.
General-purpose computer system: one to a few CPUs and a number of device controllers that
are connected through a common bus that provides access to shared memory.
Single-user system (e.g., personal computer or workstation): desk-top unit, single user, usually
has only one CPU and one or two hard disks; the OS may support only one user.
Multi-user system: more disks, more memory, multiple CPUs, and a multi-user OS. Serve a large
number of users who are connected to the system vie terminals. Often called server systems
Client-Server Systems: Server systems satisfy requests generated at m client systems, whose general
structure is shown below:
Database functionality can be divided into:

1. Back-end: manages access structures, query evaluation and optimization, concurrency control
and recovery.
2. Front-end: consists of tools such as forms, report-writers, and graphical user interface facilities.
The interface between the front-end and the back-end is through SQL or through an application program
interface.

Mukesh Kumar
Advantages of replacing mainframes with networks of workstations or personal computers connected to

back-end server machines:
better functionality for the cost
flexibility in locating resources and expanding facilities
better user interfaces
easier maintenance
Overall Structure of DBMS

Mukesh Kumar
Database Users and User Interfaces
Nave Users: Nave users are unsophisticated users who interact with the system by invoking
one of the application programs that have been written previously. The typical user interface for
nave users is a forms interface, where the user can fill in appropriate fields of the form. Nave
users may also simply read reports generated from the database.
Application programmers are computer professionals who write application programs.

Application programmers can choose from many tools to develop user interfaces.
Sophisticated users interact with the system without writing programs. Instead, they form their
requests either using a database query language or by using tools such as data analysis software.
Specialized users are sophisticated users who write specialized database applications that do not
fit into the traditional data-processing framework. Among these applications are 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.
Storage Manager:
The storage manager is the component of a database system that provides the interface between the lowlevel data stored in the database and the application programs and queries submitted to the system. 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.
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 can provide fast access to data items. A database index provides pointers to those
data items that hold a particular value. For example, we could use an index to find the instructor
record with a particular ID, or all instructor records with a particular name. Hashing is an
alternative to indexing that is faster in some but not all cases.

Mukesh Kumar
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. The DML
compiler also performs query optimization
Query evaluation engine, which executes low-level instructions generated by the DML
compiler.
Entity-Relationship Model
The entity-relationship (E-R) data model perceives the real world as consisting of basic objects, called
entities, and relationships among these objects. It was developed to facilitate database design by
allowing specification of an enterprise schema, which represents the overall logical structure of a
database.
The E-R model is very useful in mapping the meanings and interactions of real-world enterprises onto a
conceptual schema. Because of this usefulness, many database-design tools draw on concepts from the
E-R model.
Entity
An entity can be a real-world object, either animate or inanimate, that can be easily identifiable. For
example, in a school database, students, teachers, classes, and courses offered can be considered as
entities. All these entities have some attributes or properties that give them their identity.
An entity set is a collection of similar types of entities. An entity set may contain entities with attribute
sharing similar values. For example, a Students set may contain all the students of a school; likewise a
Teachers set may contain all the teachers of a school from all faculties. Entity sets need not be disjoint.
Attributes
Entities are represented by means of their properties, called attributes. All attributes have values. For
example, a student entity may have name, class, and age as attributes.
There exists a domain or range of values that can be assigned to attributes. For example, a student's
name cannot be a numeric value. It has to be alphabetic. A student's age cannot be negative, etc.
Types of Attributes
Simple attribute Simple attributes are atomic values, which cannot be divided further. For
example, a student's BirthsDate is an atomic.
Composite attribute Composite attributes are made of more than one simple attribute. For
example, a student's complete name may have first_name and last_name.

Derived attribute Derived attributes are the

attributes that do not exist in the physical
database, but their values are derived from other
attributes present in the database. For another
example, age can be derived from BirthDate.
Single-value attribute Single-value attributes

contain single value. For example Roll_No.
Multi-value attribute Multi-value attributes

may contain more than one values. For example,
a person can have more than one phone number,
email_address, etc.
Mukesh Kumar
Keys: Key is an attribute or collection of attributes that uniquely identifies an entity among entity set.
For example, the roll_number of a student makes him/her identifiable among students.
Super Key A set of attributes (one or more) that collectively identifies an entity in an entity
set.
Candidate Key A minimal super key is called a candidate key. An entity set may have more
than one candidate key.
Primary Key A primary key is one of the candidate keys chosen by the database designer to
uniquely identify the entity set.
Relationship
The association among entities is called a relationship. For example, an employee works_at a
department, a student enrolls in a course. Here, Works_at and Enrolls are called relationships.
Relationship Set: A set of relationships of similar type is called a relationship set. Like entities, a
relationship too can have attributes. These attributes are called descriptive attributes.
Degree of Relationship: The number of participating entities in a relationship defines the degree of the
relationship.
Binary = degree 2
Ternary = degree 3
n-ary = degree
Mapping Cardinalities
Cardinality defines the number of entities in one entity set, which can be associated with the number of
entities of other set via relationship set.
One-to-one One entity from entity set A can be associated with at most one entity of entity set
B and vice versa.
One-to-many One entity from entity set A can be associated with more than one entities of
entity set B however an entity from entity set B, can be associated with at most one entity.

Mukesh Kumar
Many-to-one More than one entities from entity set A can be associated with at most one
entity of entity set B, however an entity from entity set B can be associated with more than one
entity from entity set A.
Many-to-many One entity from A can be associated with more than one entity from B and
vice versa.
One-to-one
One-to-many
Many-to-one
Many-to-many
Participation Constraints
1. Total Participation each entity is involved in the relationship. Total participation is represented by
double lines.
2. Partial participation Not all entities are involved in the relationship. Partial participation is
represented by single lines.

Mukesh Kumar
Entity-Relationship Symbols:
Weak Entity Sets: An entity set may not have sufficient attributes to form a primary key. Such an entity
set is termed a weak entity set. An entity set that has a primary key is termed a strong entity set.

Mukesh Kumar
For a weak entity set to be meaningful, it must be associated with another entity set, called the
identifying or owner entity set. Every weak entity must be associated with an identifying entity; that is,
the weak entity set is said to be existence dependent on the identifying entity set. The identifying entity
set is said to own the weak entity set that it identifies. The relationship associating the weak entity set
with the identifying entity set is called the identifying relationship. The identifying relationship is many
to one from the weak entity set to the identifying entity set, and the participation of the weak entity set in
the relationship is total.
Specialization
An entity set may include subgroupings of entities that are distinct in some way from other entities in the
set. For instance, a subset of entities within an entity set may have attributes that are not shared by all the
entities in the entity set. The E-R model provides a means for representing these distinctive entity
groupings. The process of designating subgroupings within an entity set is called specialization. In an ER diagram, specialization is depicted by a triangle component labeled ISA.
The label ISA stands for is a and represents, for example, that a customer is a person. The ISA
relationship may also be referred to as a superclass-subclass relationship. Higher- and lower-level entity
sets are depicted as regular entity setsthat is, as rectangles containing the name of the entity set.
Generalization:
The refinement from an initial entity set into successive levels of entity subgroupings represents a topdown design process in which distinctions are made explicit. The design process may also proceed in a
bottom-up manner, in which multiple entity sets are synthesized into a higher-level entity set on the
basis of common features. This commonality can be expressed by generalization, which is a containment
relationship that exists between a higher-level entity set and one or more lower-level entity sets. In our
example, person is the higher-level entity set and customer and employee are lower-level entity sets.

Mukesh Kumar
Aggregation: One limitation of the E-R model is that it cannot express relationships among
relationships. The best way to model a situation such as the one just described is to use aggregation.
Aggregation is an abstraction through which relationships are treated as higher level entities.
For example the following figure shows the ternary relationship works-on, which we saw earlier,
between a employee, branch, and job.
There is redundant information in the figure, however, since every employee, branch, job combination in
manages is also in works-on. That is, from the above figure following results may be depicted:
Employee manages job
Job manages Employee
Employee manages branch and vice-versa
To remove these anomalies we use aggregation.

Mukesh Kumar
Example of E-R Diagrams:

1. E-R diagram for a banking enterprise.

Mukesh Kumar
2. An E-R diagram for a hospital with a set of patients and a set of medical doctors. Associate with
each patient a log of the various tests and examinations conducted.
3. An E-R diagram for a car-insurance company whose customers own one or more cars each. Each
car has associated with it zero to any number of recorded accidents.
4. A university registrars office maintains data about the following entities:

a. courses, including number, title, credits, syllabus, and prerequisites;
b. course offerings, including course number, year, semester, section number, instructor(s),
timings, and classroom;
c. students, including student-id, name, and program;
d. instructors, including identification number, name, department, and title.
Further, the enrollment of students in courses and grades awarded to students in each course they
are enrolled for must be appropriately modeled.
Construct an E-R diagram for the registrars office. Document all assumptions that you make
about the mapping constraints.

Mukesh Kumar
5. Consider a database used to record the marks that students get in different exams of different
course offerings.
a. Construct an E-R diagram that models exams as entities, and uses a ternary relationship,
for the above database

Mukesh Kumar
b. Construct an alternative E-R diagram that uses only a binary relationship between
students and course-offerings. Make sure that only one relationship exists between a
particular student and course-offering pair, yet you can represent the marks that a student
gets in different exams of a course offering.
6. Design an E-R diagram for keeping track of the exploits of your favourite sports team. You
should store the matches played, the scores in each match, the players in each match and
individual player statistics for each match. Summary statistics should be modeled as derived
attributes
