 WHAT IS DATA BASE?

• Definition:
• A database is an organized collection of structured information or data,
typically stored electronically in a computer system.

• Purpose:
• Databases are designed to efficiently manage, store, retrieve, and
manipulate data for various applications and purposes.
COMPONENTS OF A DATABASE:
• Data:
• The actual information stored in the database, organized into tables, rows,
and columns.

• Database Management System (DBMS):

• Software that provides an interface for interacting with the database.
Examples include MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MongoDB.
COMPONENTS OF A DATABASE:

• Users:
• Individuals or applications that interact with the database to perform
operations such as querying, updating, and managing data.

• Database Administrator (DBA):

• Responsible for managing and maintaining the database system, ensuring its
reliability, security, and performance.
TYPES OF DATABASES:

• Relational Databases:
• Organize data into tables with predefined relationships between them.
Examples include MySQL.

• Data Warehouses:
• Centralized repositories for storing and analyzing large volumes of historical
data. Used for business intelligence and decision-making.
TYPES OF DATABASES:

• NoSQL databases :
• They're flexible and don't need strict rules for how data is stored and
organized.
• They are used to manage unstructured data.
WHY DATABASES MATTER:

• Organized Data Storage

• Data Integrity and Consistency

• Efficient Data Retrieval

• Scalability and Performance

WHY DATABASES MATTER?

• Organized Data Storage”

1: Databases provide organized storage for large volumes of data.

2: They structure data into tables, rows, and columns, making it easier to store,
retrieve, and manage information.
3: Without databases, managing and accessing vast amounts of data would be
chaotic and inefficient
WHY DATABASES MATTER?

• Data Integrity and Consistency”

1.Databases make sure data is right by following rules and checking it.
2.They stop the same or wrong data from getting in, so everything stays
accurate.
3.This means people can rely on the data in the database when they need to
make important choices.
 WHY DATABASES MATTER?

• Efficient Searching with Databases”

• 1. Databases are like super organized libraries where you can easily find the
exact book you need.

• 2. They have clever ways of sorting information so they can find things super
fast.

• 3. This saves a lot of time and money, especially when you're in a hurry to
find something important.
 WHY DATABASES MATTER?

Scalability and Performance”

• Databases can grow as more data and people use them, like adding more
seats to a big table.

• They stay fast even when lots of people are using them, like a highway that
doesn't get jammed even during rush hour.

• This means they can keep up with a company as it gets bigger and helps it
come up with new ideas.
ISSUES RESOLVED BY DATABASES:

• How Databases Solve Common Problems?

• Databases are powerful tools that solve common problems businesses face
with data management.

• Databases serve as the backbone of modern information systems, addressing

a wide range of challenges and providing essential capabilities for efficient
data management and decision-making.
 ISSUES RESOLVED BY DATABASES:

• Data Disorganization”
• 1: Databases organize scattered data into a structured format, making it easier
to store, access, and manage.

• 2: They provide a centralized location for data storage, reducing the risk of
data loss or inconsistency.

• 3: With databases, businesses can avoid the chaos of scattered information

and maintain data integrity.
 ISSUES RESOLVED BY DATABASES:

• Data Inaccuracy”
• 1: Databases enforce rules for data validation, preventing inaccurate or
duplicate entries.

• 2: They ensure consistency and accuracy of data by eliminating human

errors and enforcing data quality standards.

• 3: By maintaining data integrity, databases enable users to rely on the

accuracy of information for decision-making.
 ISSUES RESOLVED BY DATABASES:

• Information Overload”
• 1: Databases facilitate efficient data retrieval through queries and indexing
techniques.

• 2: They enable users to quickly find specific information from large datasets,
saving time and effort.

• 3: With databases, businesses can manage information overload by accessing

relevant data when needed, improving productivity and decision-making.
 ISSUES RESOLVED BY DATABASES:

• Information Overload”
• 1: Databases offer scalability to accommodate growing volumes of data and
user demands.

• 2: They can handle increasing workloads without significant degradation in

performance.

• 3: This scalability ensures that information systems can grow alongside the
organization's needs, supporting business growth and innovation.
