Introduction to Database
Management System
Bases DBMS Flat file system
Definition DBMS is a collection of interrelated data Flat file system stores data in a plain
and software programs to access those text file. Here, the records are specified
data. in a single line.

database
Views of data
• It is a process of easy user interface to users by hiding
underlying complexities of data management from users.
• It defines views; which user can view which part.
• Database system provides users with abstract view of the
data.
• It only shows a part of database that a user needs.
Data abstraction
• It is the lowest level of abstractions and describes how
the data are stored on the storage disk and access
mechanisms to retrieve the data.
• DBMS developer is concerned with this level.
• This level emphasis on minimizing the number of disks
access so that data can be retrieved very fast.
• It describes complex low-level data structures in detail.
Physical Level
• This level describes what data are stored in the database
and the relationships between the data.
• It describes stored data in terms of the data model.
• It describes the database in terms of small number of
relatively simple structures.
Logical Level
• Every user don’t need to access all information stored in
the database.
• This level is basically concerned with dividing the
database according to the need of the database users.
• It simplifies the interaction of the users with the system.
View Level
• The basic design or the structure of the database is the
data model.
• It is a collection of conceptual tools for describing data,
data relationships, data semantics, and consistency
constraints.
• The basic structure of the database that organizes data,
defines how the data are stored and accessed, and the
relationships between the data, is the data model.
Data Model
• Hierarchical Model
• Network Model
• Entity-Relationship(E-R) Model
• Relational Model
• Object-Oriented Model
• Object-Relational Model
Types of database
models
• Data is represented as a tree.
• A record type can belong to only one owner type but a
owner type can belong to many record type.
Relational Model
• It is a high level model based on the need of the
organization.
• Its entities are distinguishable from other objects and
relationship is an association among several entities.
E-R Model
• It represents entity sets as class and a class represents both
attributes and the behavior of the entity.
• Instance of a class is an object.
• The internal part of the object is not externally visible.
• One object communicates with the other by sending messages.
Object-Oriented Model
• It combines the feature of relational data model and
object-oriented data model.
Object-Relational Model
• Data Definition Language(DDL):
• Database language that is used to create, delete or modify
database schema is called DDL.
• It is used by Database Administrators(DBA) to specify the
conceptual schema.
• DDL interpreter converts DDL statements into equivalent
low level statements understood by the DBMS.
• Normally, create, alter, and drop statements are DDL
statements.
• DDL statements make changes in the schema
Database Languages
(DDL, DML)
Example: For create command Example: For drop command
create table Student drop Student;
(
sid char(4),
Example: For alter command
sname varchar(50),
alter table Student
standard integer ADD COLUMN address varchar(20)
); ;
DDL cont’d
• Database language that enables insert, update, delete, and
retrieval of data from the database is called Data
Manipulation Language.
• DML complier converts DML statements into equivalent
low level statements that the database understands.
• Normally, insert, update, delete, select are DML
commands.
• DML reflects change in the instance, not the schema
DML
Example: For insert Example: for update Example: for select
Insert into Student Update Student Select *
values(“A-101”, Set class = 11 From Student
“Ramesh”, 12); Where sid = “A-101”
; Example: For delete
Delete from standard
Where sname = “Kriti”
Note: In SQL, cases are insensitive. So, instead of Student one can write StUdEnT
as well.
Also, for integer values “12” is incorrect but 12 is correct.
And, for char and varchar “Kriti” is correct and Kriti is incorrect.
DML cont’d
• Users are distinguished by the way they interact with the
database system.
1. Naïve users:
• They interact with the system by invoking one of the
application programs written previously. Naive users are
bank teller, receptionist, etc.
• For e.g., bank teller needs to add Rs.90 to account Ram,
and deduct the same amount from account Sita. Then the
application program the bank teller uses is transfer.
A = atomicity
C = consistency
I = isolation
D = durability
Transaction Management
1. Atomicity:
Atomic means whole. This property ensures that the
changes made to the database are wholly reflected or no
change is made. But partial changes or execution are not
made.
2. Consistency:
The database must move from one consistent state to
another after the execution of the transaction.
Properties of Transaction
Management (ACID property)
3. Isolation:
Even if many transaction may be done at the same time but
isolation ensures that if transaction A and B are executing
concurrently, then either A must execute first then B is
executed or, B must execute first then A is executed.
4. Durability:
Changes made to the database are permanent and even if
the system failure occurs, that don’t lead to the erase of the
transaction executed previously.

Database system structure
1. Storage Manager
2. Disk Storage
3. Query Processor
1. Storage Manager
• It is responsible for allocating the disk space and also for
maintaining the data in the database.
• Its components are:
• Data files: It is the place where database is stored,
• Data dictionary: It stores metadata about the schema of the
database.
• Indices: It provides quick access to the data items that hold
particular values.
2. Disk Storage
• It simplifies and facilitates easy access to the data.
• It translates queries written in non-procedural language, and
operates the statement.
• Its components are:
• DDL interpreter: It interprets DDL statements into low-level
language understood by the system.
• DML compiler: It translates DML statements into an evaluation
plan consisting low level instructions that the query evaluation
engine understands.
• Query evaluation engine: It executes low level statements
generated by the DML compiler.
3. Query Processor
• In two tier architecture, user interface and application
programs are on the client side and query and transaction
facility are on the server side
• When DBMS access is required, the application program
establishes connection with client and server
• Client queries and server provides response to the
authenticated client request/queries.
• There is direct interaction of client with the server
• The business logic coupled with either client side or the
server side.
Two-tier architecture
Two Tier architecture
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
Disadvantages
• In three tier architecture, user interface and application programs
are on the client side and query and transaction facility are on the
server side and in between there is an intermediate layer which
stores business rules(procedures/constraints) used to access data
from the database.
• When DBMS access is required, the application program
establishes connection with client and server but before forwarding
the request of client, application rules check the client credentials.
• There is indirect interaction of client with the server but direct
connection of client and application rules and application rules and
the server.
Advantages
Disadvantages
• Instance: The collection of information currently stored
in the database at the particular period.
• Schema: The overall design of the database that is not
expected to change frequently.
• Mapping:
• Metadata: Data about data.
• Data dictionary: A special file that stores metadata.
• Methods: Values and bodies of codes that the object
contains.
