    There are two primary approaches to classifying data in a database system: 1) how the data will be used by users, which is conceptual data like financial, patient, or human resource data, and 2) the computer data type, which includes alphanumeric, logic, and physical data stored on the computer system. Database management systems are programs used to input, store, modify, process and access database data. There are two basic types of files: 1) processing files which are executable files or command files, and 2) data files which contain stored data. A database system provides access to the data and relationships within a database through various models or views including the user view of requirements, and the logical view of an organization's important business

    2 Primary approaches in classifying data in a database system:

    1. Classified in terms of how these data will be used by the user


    =Conceptual Data
    Eg. Financial data, patient data
    Human resource data
    2. Classified by computer data type
    = Computer-based Data
    Eg. Physical database within the computer system
    Alphanumeric data that includes letters and numbers in any combinations
    Logic data- includes Yes and No, True or False, 1 or 2, On and Off

    Database Management Systems


    These are programs used to input, store, modify, process and access database

    Database system design


    It is the process of configuring the database software.
    Advantages of Automated Database Management Systems
    1. Decreases data redundancy.
    2. Increases data consistency.
    3. Improve access to all data.

    File- a set of related records that have the same data fields.

    Types of Files
    2 basic Types of Files
    a. Processing Files
    a. Executable files (exe)
    -consisting a computer program or a set of instructions that, when executed, causes the
    computer to open or start a specific computer program or function.

    b. Command Files
    - set of instructions that perform a set of functions as opposed to running a whole program.
    Eg. AUTOEXEC.BAT
    CONFIG.SYS

    2. Data files
    - contain data that have been captured and stored on a computer using a software program. Eg.
    DOC, TXT

    Master Index File


    - contains the unique identifier and related indexes for all entities in the
    database.
    Eg. Identification file for all patient records in a health care system.

    Database Models
    Database system provides access to both the data in the database and to the interrelationship within and
    between the various data elements

    3 views/ or models of data elements according to the ANSI/SPARC model:


    1. User/ External view
    It is the list of requirements or functional specifications that the user will have for the
    database to describe queries, reports and procedures that can be produced by the database.
    2. Logical view
    This represents the abstract structure of a domain of information. They are often
    diagrammatic in nature and are most typically used in business processes that seek to capture things of
    importance to an organization and how they relate to one another.
