Introduction File System Database Management System Relational Data Model Keys in a Relational Database
Visit a few shops where records are maintained manually and identify a few limitations of manual record keeping faced by them. record keeping in this example: Entry of student details (Roll number and name) in the new attendance register when the student is promoted to the next class. Writing student details on each month’s attendance page where in...
A file can be understood as a container to store data in a computer. Files can be stored on the storage device of a computer system. Contents of a file can be texts, computer program code, comma separated values (CSV), etc. Likewise, pictures, audios/videos, web pages are also files. Files stored on a computer can be accessed directly and searched ...
File system becomes dificult to handle when number of files increases and volume of data also grows. Following are some of the limitations of file system:
Files themselves do not provide any mechanism to retrieve data. Data maintained in a file system are accessed through application programs. While writing such programs, the developer may not anticipate all the possible ways in which data may be accessed. So, sometimes it is dificult to access data in the required format and one has to write applica...
Data inconsistency occurs when same data maintained in different places do not match. If a student wants to get changed the spelling of her name, it needs to be changed in SName column in both the files. Likewise, if noteS a student leaves school, the details need to be deleted from both the files. As the files are being maintained by different peo...
Data are stored in a specific format or structure in a file. If the structure or format itself is changed, all the existing application programs accessing that file also need to be change. Otherwise, the programs may not work correctly. This is data dependency. Hence, updating the structure of a data file requires modification in all the applicatio...
There can be different category of users like teacher, ofice staff and parents. Ideally, not every user should be able to access all the data. As an example, guardians and ofice staff can only see the student attendance data but should not be able to modify/delete it. It means these users should be given limited access (read only) to the ATTENDANCE...
Limitations faced in file system can be overcome by storing the data in a database where data are logically related. We can organise related data in a database so that it can be managed in an eficient and easy way. Some database management systems include a graphical user interface for users to create and manage databases. Other database systems us...
In order to eficiently manage data using a DBMS, let us understand certain key terms:
Database Schema is the design of a database. It is the skeleton of the database that represents the structure (table names and their fields/columns), the type of data each column can hold, constraints on the data to be stored (if any), and the relationships among the tables. Teacher Office Staff DBMS Software processes Query DBMS Software access da...
Sometimes we put certain restrictions or limitations on the type of data that can be inserted in one or more columns of a table. This is done by specifying one or more constraints on that column(s) while creating the tables. For example, one can define the constraint that the column mobile number can only have non-negative integer values of exactly...
The database schema along with various constraints on the data is stored by DBMS in a database catalog or dictionary, called meta-data. A meta-data is data about the data.
When we define database structure or schema, state of database is empty i.e. no data entry is there. After
Increased Complexity: Use of DBMS increases the complexity of maintaining functionalities like security, consistency, sharing and integrity Increased data vulnerability: As data are stored centrally, it increases the chances of loss of data due to any failure of hardware or software. It can bring all operations to a halt for all the users. loading ...
Modification of database consists of three operations viz. Insertion, Deletion or Update. Suppose Rivaan joins as a new student in the class then the student details need to be added in STUDENT as well as in GUARDIAN files of the Student Attendance database. This is called Insertion operation on the database. In case a student leaves the school, th...
Database engine is the underlying component or set of programs used by a DBMS to create database and handle various queries for data retrieval and manipulation.
Different types of DBMS are available and their classification is done based on the underlying data model. A data model describes the structure of the database, including how data are defined and represented, relationships among data, and the constraints. The most commonly used data model is Relational Data Model. Other types of data models include...

In relational data model, following three properties are observed with respect to a relation which makes a relation different from a data file or a simple table. Property 1: imposes following rules on an attribute of the relation. Each attribute in a relation has a unique name. Sequence of attributes in a relation is immaterial. Property 2: gover...
The tuples within a relation must be distinct. It means no two tuples in a table should have same value for all attributes. That is, there should be at least one attribute in which data are distinct (unique) and not NULL. That way, we can uniquely distinguish each tuple of a relation. So, relational data model imposes some restrictions or constrain...
A relation can have one or more attributes that takes distinct values. Any of these attributes can be used to uniquely identify the tuples in the relation. Such attributes are called candidate keys as each of them are candidates for the primary key. As shown in Figure 7.4, the relation GUARDIAN has four attributes out of which GUID and GPhone alway...
Out of one or more candidate keys, the attribute chosen by the database designer to uniquely identify the tuples in a relation is called the primary key of that relation. The remaining attributes in the list of candidate keys are called the alternate keys. In the relation GUARDIAN, suppose GUID is chosen as primary key, then GPhone will be called t...
If no single attribute in a relation is able to uniquely distinguish the tuples, then more than one attribute are taken together as primary key. Such primary key consisting of more than one attribute is called Composite Primary key. In relation ATTENDANCE, Roll Number cannot be used as primary key as roll number of same student will appear in anoth...
A foreign key is used to represent the relationship between two relations. A foreign key is an attribute whose value is derived from the primary key of another relation. This means that any attribute of a relation (referencing), which is used to refer contents from another (referenced) relation, becomes foreign key if it refers to the primary key o...
A file in a file system is a container to store data in a computer. File system suffers from Data Redundancy, Data Inconsistency, Data Isolation, Data Dependence and Controlled Data sharing. Database Management System (DBMS) is a software to create and manage databases. A database is a collection of tables. Database schema is the design of a databa...
Give the terms for each of the following: Collection of logically related records. DBMS creates a file that contains description about the data stored in the database. Attribute that can uniquely identify the tuples in a relation. Special value that is stored when actual data value is unknown for an attribute. An attribute which can uniquely identi...

Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan 16 Summary DBMS used to maintain, query large datasets. Benefits include recovery from system crashes, concurrent access, quick application development, data integrity and security. Levels of abstraction give data independence. A DBMS typically has a layered architecture.

Nov 4, 2024 · What is DBMS? A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that is designed to manage and organize data in a structured manner. It allows users to create, modify, and query a database, as well as manage the security and access controls for that database.
