4. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 4IS 257 – Fall 2006 Course Description This course is concerned with the design of the database itself -- not with the design of database system software. –We will discuss DBMS internals only as they relate to the database and its design and structure We will spend a fair amount time on database application design, especially on options for Web application database support -- but this will not be primary focus.

5. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 5IS 257 – Fall 2006 Assignments Two kinds of assignments –Using a pre-built database for search and retrieval and database modification queries –Designing, populating, and running queries against your own personal database Types of database project –Individual »Work related »Course only »Projects from around campus that need doing… –Group »Course related »Final Master’s project

9. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 9IS 257 – Fall 2006 What is a Database?

10. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 10IS 257 – Fall 2006 Files and Databases File: A collection of records or documents dealing with one organization, person, area or subject. (Rowley) –Manual (paper) files –Computer files Database: A collection of similar records with relationships between the records. (Rowley) –bibliographic, statistical, business data, images, etc.

11. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 11IS 257 – Fall 2006 Database A Database is a collection of stored operational data used by the application systems of some particular enterprise. (C.J. Date) –Paper “Databases” Still contain a large portion of the world’s knowledge –File-Based Data Processing Systems Early batch processing of (primarily) business data –Database Management Systems (DBMS)

12. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 12IS 257 – Fall 2006 Terms and Concepts Database Management System -- DBMS –Software system used to define, create, maintain and provide controlled access to the database and repository

13. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 13IS 257 – Fall 2006 Terms and Concepts Repository –AKA Data Dictionary –The place where all metadata for a particular database is stored –may also include information on relationships between files or tables in a particular database

14. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 14IS 257 – Fall 2006 Terms and Concepts Metadata –Data about data In DBMS means all of the characteristics describing the attributes of an entity, E.G.: –name of attribute –data type of attribute –size of the attribute –format or special characteristics –Characteristics of files or relations name, content, notes, etc.

15. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 15IS 257 – Fall 2006 Why DBMS? History –50’s and 60’s all applications were custom built for particular needs –File based –Many similar/duplicative applications dealing with collections of business data –Early DBMS were extensions of programming languages –1970 - E.F. Codd and the Relational Model –1979 - Ashton-Tate & first Microcomputer DBMS

16. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 16IS 257 – Fall 2006 File Based Systems Naughty Nice Just what asked for Coal Estimation Delivery List Application File Toys Addresses Toys

17. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 17IS 257 – Fall 2006 From File Systems to DBMS Problems with File Processing systems –Inconsistent Data –Inflexibility –Limited Data Sharing –Poor enforcement of standards –Excessive program maintenance

18. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 18IS 257 – Fall 2006 DBMS Benefits Minimal Data Redundancy Consistency of Data Integration of Data Sharing of Data Ease of Application Development Uniform Security, Privacy, and Integrity Controls Data Accessibility and Responsiveness Data Independence Reduced Program Maintenance

19. 2006.08.29 - SLIDE 19IS 257 – Fall 2006 Terms and Concepts Data Independence –Physical representation and location of data and the use of that data are separated The application doesn’t need to know how or where the database has stored the data, but just how to ask for it. Moving a database from one DBMS to another should not have a material effect on application program Recoding, adding fields, etc. in the database should not affect applications
