1. 1 DATABASES – I IS 524 Dr. Chandra Amaravadi

2. 2 IN THIS PRESENTATION.. Importance of databases Real world concepts: entities, eclasses, attributes Data model Organization concepts DBMS & DBMS activities and functions

3. NEED FOR DATABASES A church needs to maintain information on donations A church needs to maintain information on donations A consulting company needs to manage its contacts A consulting company needs to manage its contacts A doctor needs to know if a patient is allergic to a particular medication. A doctor needs to know if a patient is allergic to a particular medication. An airline exec needs to know occupancy on a flight. An airline exec needs to know occupancy on a flight. Information is managed in a database. (Needs organization) All organizations need to manage information

4. 4 BASIC DATA CONCEPTS

5. 5 REAL WORLD CONCEPTS Entities Entities Entity Classes Entity Classes Attributes Attributes Data models Data models Database approach/philosophy Database approach/philosophy

6. 6 ENTITIES Individual examples of things and objects are called entities. They are modelled only as a collection.

7. WE ARE MORE INTERESTED IN Organization Eclasses departments customers Sales/vendor product has has eclasses Organization deals with many eclasses

8. 8 ENTITY CLASSES HAVE PROPERTIES Properties are called attributes Departments customers Sales/vendors machines/ parts Dept. code, name, manager, budget

9. 9 DISCUSSION Classify the following as entity, entity class or attribute John (as a person) San Francisco (as name of a city) Customer Book Store# Customs Microsoft Microsoft employees The book “The Second Machine Age” Invoice Production

10. 10 Entity – Individual example of person, place or thing. Entity Class – Collection of related entities. Attributes – Properties of entity classes about which we would like to collect information. SUMMARY OF CONCEPTS Eclasses & attributes are used in developing data models

11. 11 Abstract view of the data & relationships Captures relationships between eclasses Supports DB design & implementation Relationship between students and courses? between doctors and patients? between teams and players? DATA MODELS (ER MODELS)

12. 12 DATA MODELS… Three types of relationships among entity classes A B 1:1 A B 1:M A B M:N For each value of A, one and only one value of B and vice versa. For each value of A, many values of B, but for each B only one A. For each value of A, many values of B and vice versa.

13. 13 DISCUSSION Identify the types of the following relationships Company -- president Instructor -- students Flights -- pilots City -- convention centers Club -- members Team – players (professional) Company -- city Books – authors Artists -- records

23. 23 TRADITIONAL CONCEPT OF A FILE Western Illinois University strives to maintain a community which values academic excellence; institutional integrity; and justice, equity, and diversity. Such an environment is essential in fostering the intellectual growth and personal development of all students. Each member of the University community shares responsibility in maintaining conditions which support the University's purpose. The Code of Student Conduct is designed to provide basic guidelines to advance the University's mission as a premier educational institution. A traditional file is a collection of characters Assume the following is stored somewhere,

30. 30 Define structure/schema DATA DEFINITION Field NameData typeDescriptionLengthDecimals Prod#NumericUnique prod code 60 DescrTextShort prod description 250 PriceCurrencyProduct price62 Attributes and data types (and other characteristics) are specified as part of data definition

31. 31 A form is used to enter data PRODUCT DATA ENTRY Product #: Description: Label Field Heading Data entry form DATA ENTRY

32. 32 MODIFY DATA Add Delete Change Modify data Records/field values

33. 33 Can use QBE or SQL to query data Query by example (QBE) form QUERYING DATA -QBE prod#descr.pricequantity < 200 list products costing less than $200 list employees in finance department e_ssnenameedepte_join_dt “finance”

34. 34 RETRIEVAL WITH SQL The structured query language can be used instead of QBE Each SELECT statement has three parts SELECT, FROM and WHERE SELECT is used to select output attributes FROM is used to specify the source tables WHERE is used for row selection criteria e.g. price < 400; zip = 61455 etc. SELECT FROM WHERE

44. 44 USEFULNESS OF DATABASES

45. 45 What if a customer wants know price of a shirt in a department store? Returns? What if a manager wants to know what products were sold on a particular day? Suppose we have detailed information on each and every transaction in a store, what can we do with that? USAGE OF DATA/INFORMATION

46. 46 To store and record information e.g. bal, price, grades etc. To retrieve information e.g. check#432 cashed? To report information e.g. daily sales To answer queries e.g. how many shoes were sold? IMPORTANCE OF DBMS’s Operational Usage: To analyze trends Identify sales prospects Strategic Usage:

47. 47 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS A collection of information about machines and parts is called _____? A collection of records is called________ ? The smallest unit of data in a database is _________ ? What is QBE apart from expansion of abbreviation? How does QBE differ from SQL? What does data definition mean? Where would databases be used? How are databases used? What is a good database application?
