Getting to know Databases -- The Foundation

What is DATABASE?
A database is an organized collection of data, generally stored and accessed electronically from a computer system.

What is Database Management System?

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyse the data.

Common Logical Data Models Physical Data FLAT-FILE DATABASE

For Databases Include
 Navigational databases
 Hierarchical database model 
 Network model
 Graph database
 Relational model
 Entity–relationship model
 Enhanced entity–
relationship model
 Object model
 Document model
 Entity–attribute–value
model
 Star schema
 An object-relational
database combines the two
related structures.
RELATIONAL DATABASE
Have a Schema:
1. Rows and Columns
2. Foreign Keys
Models Include
A flat database or text database, a flat file is a file of data that does
Inverted index not contain links to other files or is a non-relational database.
 Flat file
 Have entries on one line each.
 Can have a field separator.
 Can be formatted (XML, YAML, etc.)
 A good example of a flat file is a single text-only file that contains all
the data needed for a program that is often separated by some kind of
delimiter.
A Delimiter Is One Or More Characters That Separate Text Strings Common
delimiters are
 Commas ( , )
 Semicolon (;)
 Quotes ( "-double, '-Single )
 Braces ({-Left, }-Right )
3. Similar to spread sheet
 Pipes (|-Single, ||-Double )
4. Typically use SQL or similar
 Slashes ( /-Forward \-Backward )
 Tab SCHEMALESS DATABASE
When a program stores sequential
Have pages: or tabular data, it delimits each item of data
with a predefined character.
 1. Data is“formatted key values” 3. Referred to as “nosql”
2. Usually “json” or binary “json"

How Databases are used

In prospective of DevOps and in also general ways that databases are used includes:

1. Store Configuration
2. Store Object State
3. Store Website Data
4. Perform analytics processing
5. Perform authorization checks
6. Machine Learning
7. Decision Trees for AI
8. Trend analysis
