ADP-IV- Database-DBMS vs File based -Database Architecture

The document compares file systems and database management systems (DBMS), highlighting key differences such as data redundancy, backup capabilities, query processing efficiency, complexity, security, and cost. It also discusses database architecture, explaining its importance in data management and detailing three common models: one-tier, two-tier, and three-tier architectures, each with its own use cases and benefits. The three-tier architecture is noted for its security, scalability, and faster deployment advantages.

What is database architecture?


The term “database architecture” refers to the structural design and methodology
of a database System, which forms the core of a Database Management System
(DBMS). This architecture Dictates how data is stored, organized, and retrieved,
playing a crucial role in the efficiency and Effectiveness of data management.
Database architecture describes how a database management system (DBMS) will
be integrated With your application. When designing a database architecture, you
will make decisions that will Change how your applications are created. The
primary functions of a DBMS include data storage, retrieval, updating, and
management of Database security. It should provide a convenient and efficient
way to define, create, manage, and Control access to the database.

Types of database architecture models


The most common models include:

One-tier architecture

In one-tier architecture, the database, user interface, and application logic all
reside on the same machine or server. It's typically used for small-scale
applications where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities. Because there
are no network delays involved, this type of tier architecture is generally a fast
way to access data.

On a single-tier application, the application and database reside on the same


device.

An example of a one-tier architecture would be a mobile application that


uses Realm, the open-source mobile database by MongoDB, as a local database.
In that case, both the application and the database are running on the user’s
mobile device.
Two-tier architecture

Two-tier architecture consists of multiple clients connecting directly to the


database. This tier architecture is also known as client-server architecture.

In a two-tier architecture, clients are connecting directly to a database.

This tier architecture used to be more common when a desktop application would
connect to a single database hosted on an on-premise database server — for
example, an in-house customer relationship management (CRM) that connects to
an Access database.

Three-tier architecture

Most modern web applications use a three-tier architecture. In this architecture,


the clients connect to a back end, which in turn connects to the database. Using
this approach has many benefits:

 Security: Keeping the database connection open to a single back end


reduces the risks of being hacked.
 Scalability: Because each layer operates independently, it is easier to
scale parts of the application.
 Faster deployment: Having multiple tiers makes it easier to have a
separation of concerns and to follow cloud-native best practices,
including better continuous delivery processes.

In a three-tier architecture, the information between the database and the clients
is relayed by a back-end server.

An example of this type of architecture would be a React application that connects


to a Node.js back end. The Node.js back end processes the requests and fetches
the necessary information from a database such as MongoDB Atlas, using
the native driver. This architecture is described in greater detail in the next
section.
