Database
The related information when placed is an

organized form makes a database. The
organization of data/information is necessary
because unorganized information has no
meaning.

By Parteek Bhatia
Operations on Databases
To add new information
To view or retrieve the stored information
To modify or edit the existing
To remove or delete the unwanted information
Arranging the information in a desired order etc.

Manual database and its problems

Wastage of skills and intelligence of human beings on
repetitive calculations.
Error prone.

Database and Computers

Large storage capacity
It has high speed
Computer is more accurate.
There are two approaches for storing data in computers such

as File based approach and Database approach.

By Parteek Bhatia
File Based Approach

A file system is a method for storing and organizing
computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to
find and access them.
File systems may use a storage device such as a hard disk or
CD-ROM and involve maintaining the physical location of
the files.
Programmers used programming languages such as COBOL,
C++ to write applications that directly accessed flat files to
perform data management services and provide information
for users.
By Parteek Bhatia
Limitations of the File-Based

Approach

Separated and Isolated Data

Duplication of data
Data Dependence
Difficulty in representing data from the
users view
Data Inflexibility
Incompatible file formats

By Parteek Bhatia
Database Approach
A database is a computer based record

keeping system whose over all purpose is to
record and maintain information. The
database is a single, large repository of data,
which can be used simultaneously by many
departments and users.

By Parteek Bhatia
Database Management System

(DBMS)
DBMS
A database management system is the
software system that allows users to define, create
and maintain a database and provides controlled
access to the data.
A database management system (DBMS) is
basically a collection of programs that enables users
to store, modify, and extract information from a
database as per the requirements.

By Parteek Bhatia
Examples of Database Applications

The following are main examples of database applications:
Computerized library systems
Automated teller machines
Flight reservation systems
Computerized parts inventory systems
Commercially available Database management systems in the
market are dbase, Foxpro, IMS and Oracle.

Advantages of DBMS
Controlling Redundancy

By Parteek Bhatia
Integrity can be enforced

Integrity of data means that data in database

is always accurate, such that incorrect
information cannot be stored in database.

By Parteek Bhatia
Inconsistency can be avoided

When the same data is duplicated and changes are made at one
site, which is not propagated to the other site, it gives rise to
inconsistency and the two entries regarding the same data will
not agree.

By Parteek Bhatia
Other Advantages

Data can be shared

Providing Backup and Recovery
Standards can be enforced
Restricting unauthorized access
Solving enterprise requirement than
individual requirement

By Parteek Bhatia
Disadvantages of DBMS

Complexity
Size
Performance
Higher impact of a failure
Cost of DBMS
Additional Hardware costs
Cost of Conversion
