1. IFS180.81 Intro to Data Management Chapter 1 What is Relational

2. Operational Database TPS Transaction Processing System Dynamic Usage = conceptual running of the business Analytical Database Data Warehouse / Mart Static Usage = historical. Typically used for analysis (trending / forecasting)

3. What is Relational Functions of DBMS: Store the structure of the database Stores data Stores relationships between data Stores forms and reports pertaining to the database

4. What is Relational Character—smallest logical representation—e.g.; gender code “M” for Male or “F” for Female Data Field—a character or group of related characters that conveys meaningful data about an object—smallest meaningful unit of data—e.g.; employee name – Relational = Column Record—a collection or group of data fields that relay data/information about an object—e.g.; employee record – Relational = Row File—a collection or group of related records usually grouped by some logical association—e.g.; payroll file – Relational = Table Database—a collection or group of files usually grouped by some logical association—e.g.; corporate database

5. What is Relational Row represents a unique instance of the subject matter of table (defines characteristics about the object) For example: Part Master Table: W50517648 Washer, Locking EA 150 40 W50518643 Bolt, Lag EA 62 25 L404100101 Cap, End EA 23 50 Part Number Part Description U/M On-Hand ROP

6. What is Relational Key Fields Primary Key Fields Composite Primary Key Fields Foreign Key Fields W50517648 Washer, Locking EA 150 40 B01C W50518643 Bolt, Lag EA 62 25 H34S L404100101 Cap, End EA 23 50 CY76 Part Number Part Description U/M On-Hand ROP CC

8. What is Relational Primary Keys (PK) PK value identifies a specific record throughout the entire database (What?) PK Field identifies a given table throughout the entire database (What?) PK enforces table level integrity (What?) PK should be identified for each table in the database

9. What is Relational Foreign Key (FK) FK is a PK in another table FK ensures relationship-level integrity (What?) FK are important to eliminate orphaned records

10. What is Relational Table Relationships **Not** where the name RDBMS is derived from *Is* association of rows between tables One – to – One Relationship One – to – Many Relationship Many – to – Many Relationship Is it possible to have a none – to – none Relationship with RDBMS

11. What is Relational One – to – One Table Relationship Not very common Done for security / privacy reasons Can be accomplished by column level security within the DBMS 04984 James Jones 1010 Mockingbird Lane York 04984 17.57 PK

12. What is Relational One – to – Many Relationship Single row in one table is related to multiple rows in another table PK on the ‘One’ side of the relationship becomes the FK on the many side of the relationship Not every row must exist in the “Many” table, but every row in the many table must have a related row in the “one” table ** Important Concept **

13. What is Relational W50518643 Bolt, Lag EA 62 25 H34S W50517648 Washer, Locking EA 150 40 B01C L404100101 Cap, End SQ EA 23 50 CY76 Part Master Table Physical Inventory Table 251452A W50517648 149 251453A W50518643 62 PK becomes a FK in “Many” Table

14. What is Relational Many – to –Many Relationship Many rows in one table relate to many rows in the second table Normally described as a LINKING table A methodology for associating tables without violating Normalized Form (Next week) PK’s of both tables are combined to form the linking table
