 Session 1 - Objectives

On completion of this session the learner will be able to:

 Explain DBMS, Database and different database models

 Explain evolution of DB2 and how it is supported on
Mainframe Environment`

 Recap On RDBMS Concepts

Database is a collection of logically related objects.

Any Database should have the following features
 Data Sharing
 Security
 Recovery
 Data Definition
 Physical Storage
 Accessing
 Referential Integrity
DBMS:- It is a layer between application program & data.
It is a software that handles the management of database.

 Database Model
Three Types of Data model

1. Hierarchical Data Model

2. Network Data Model and
3. Relational Data Model

In hierarchical model, it uses embedded pointers to

create tree like structure where in dependent Element will
have only one parent.

EX: IMS is a hierarchical type of database.

 Database Model

In network model, it uses embedded pointers to create

mesh like structure where in dependent Element will have
more than one parent.

EX: IDMS is a Network type of database.

In Relational model, there are no pointers, but each

entity is represented as table.

EX: Db2 is a Relational type of database.

TABLE CONCEPTS

 ONE TABLE FOR EACH ENTITY

 EMPLOYEE, DEPARTMENT & PROJECT are
the three tables which stores their respective
information.

 DB2 HISTORY

Relational Model:

 Developed by Dr.E.F.Codd in 1969-70.

 DB2 is a RDBMS for the MVS operating system

environment.

 IBM released DB2 Version 1 delivered in 1984 and

version 4 in 1995 and the latest version is 9.1 for Z/OS

 DB2 Components
Major Components:

System Services - This supports system operation,

operator communication, logging etc.
Locking services - This provides necessary controls for
managing concurrent access to data.
Database services - This supports definition, retrieval, and
update of user and system data.
Distributed data facility - provides distributed database
support.
