LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this chapter, you should be able to:

Define terms related to data & dbase administration List functions and roles of data/database administration Describe role of data dictionaries and information repositories
Data and Database Administration
TRADITIONAL ADMINISTRATION DEFINITIONS
Data Administration: A high-level function that is responsible for the overall management of data resources in an organization, including maintaining corporate-wide definitions and standards Database Administration: A technical function that is responsible for physical database design and for dealing with technical issues such as security enforcement, database performance, and backup and recovery
TRADITIONAL DATA ADMINISTRATION FUNCTIONS
Data policies, procedures, standards

Data Policies: statements that make explicit the goals of DA Data procedure: written outlines of actions to be taken to perform certain activity Data Standard: explicit conventions and behaviors that are to be followed and that can be used to help evaluate dbase quality
Planning Data conflict (ownership) resolution Managing the information repository Internal marketing of DA concepts

End user send request to DBA DBA approves and forward it to computer operator Computer operator creates account, assign temporary password and end it to the user. A copy of the account information is sent to the DBA User changes the temporary password.
TRADITIONAL DATABASE ADMINISTRATION FUNCTIONS

Selection of DBMS and software tools Installing/upgrading DBMS Tuning database performance Improving query processing performance Managing data security, privacy, and integrity Data backup and recovery
FUNCTIONS OF DA & DBA

DATABASE PLANNING Develop corporate database strategy/policies Develop enterprise model (information architecture) Develop cost/benefit models
Design database environment/select technologies

Develop and market data administration plan DATABASE ANALYSIS Define and model data requirements (conceptual) Define and model business rules Define operational requirements
Resolve requirements conflicts

Maintain corporate data dictionary/repository

DATABASE DESIGN Perform logical database design
Design external model (sub schemas)

Design internal (physical) models Design integrity controls DATABASE IMPLEMENTATION Specify database access policies Establish security controls Install DBMS Supervise database loading Specify test procedures
Develop application programming standards

Establish procedures for backup and recovery Conduct user training

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Backup and recover databases Upgrade DBMS Monitor database performance Tune and reorganize databases Resolve access conflict Tune and rewrite queries Enforce standards and procedures Support users GROWTH AND CHANGE Implement change-control procedure Plan growth and change Evaluate new technology
EVOLVING APPROACHES TO DATA ADMINISTRATION

Blend data and database administration into one role Fast-track developmentmonitoring development process:
Database planning: improve selection of technology Database analysis: work on physical design in parallel with development of the logical & physical models Database design: prioritize application by volume, importance & complexity Database implementation Database maintenance
EVOLVING APPROACHES TO DATA ADMINISTRATION
New DBA Roles

Procedural DBAsmanaging quality of triggers and stored procedures eDBAmanaging Internet-enabled database applications PDA DBAdata synchronization and personal database management Data warehouse administration
DATA WAREHOUSE ADMINISTRATION

New role, coming with the growth in data warehouses Similar to DA/DBA roles Emphasis on integration and coordination of metadata/data across many data sources Specific roles:
Support DSS applications Manage data warehouse growth Establish service level agreements regarding data warehouses and data marts
OPEN SOURCE DBMSS
DEFINITION:
Free DBMS source code software that provides the core functionality of an SQL-compliant DBMS
An alternative to proprietary packages such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or Microsoft Access
mySQL is an example of an open-source DBMS
Advantages:
Less expensive than proprietary packages Source code available, for modification Have different version (simple to complex, free to some cost(additional features) No additional cost for copies or licensing
OPEN SOURCE DBMSS

Disadvantages:
Absence
of complete documentation Ambiguous licensing concerns Not as feature-rich as proprietary DBMSs Vendors may not have certification programs
OPEN SOURCE DBMSS

Consider
these factors when choosing an open source DBMS:

Features Support Ease-of-use Stability Speed
Training
Licensing
DATA MODELING RESPONSIBILITIES

Triggers
Routines
that execute in response to a database event (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE)
