Data Base Management System

PRESENTED BY AKHIN P.R

 The DBMS is a software designed to manage and maintain the database of an organization. The main steps are data structuring defining, interrogating, updating and creating. The DBMS is a collection of the interrelated files and a set of programs through which the users can access and modify these files.

 In DBMS file contains tables. Rows in table is called as tuple. Column is called attributes.

VIEWS OF DATABASE

Logical view Physical view

Logical View Of The User Of Data

This is the of the application programmer or user as he wants it. This could be a partial view of the database. Eg: the quality control manager and the purchase manager would view the data differently for their use.

Physical View of The Data

This is the view of the data actually stored and organized on the physical devices. There is only one physical view of the data, but there can be many different logical views.

 The logical view of the data is defined through the schema and subschema. The schema is the description of the database For preparation of the schema we need data entity and its attributes. The subschema represents a logical view of the data items and records held by the specific user.

 Once the database is described the application programmer can take different views of the database and write different programs to get information This is done by Data Manipulation Language(DML). The DML provides the commands which help to retrieve, modify, store and delete the data in the database
