Information Management (DB/SQL)

I. Define the following:

 Database - A database is a logically organized collection of structured data kept

electronically in a computer system. A database management system (DBMS) is usually
in charge of a database. The data, the DBMS, and the applications that go with them are
referred to as a database system, which is commonly abbreviated to just database.

 Database Management System - A database management system (DBMS) acts as a

conduit between the database and the database's end users or programs, allowing users to
retrieve, update, and manage the information's organization and optimization. A DBMS
allows for database oversight and control, as well as a number of administrative tasks
such as performance monitoring, tuning, and backup and recovery.
 Data Model - The act of generating a visual representation of an entire information
system or parts of it in order to express linkages between data points and structures is
known as data modeling.

 Entity Relationship Diagram - An Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of

flowchart that illustrates how “entities” such as people, objects or concepts relate to each
other within a system.
 Database Normalization - Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database.
This includes creating tables and establishing relationships between those tables
according to rules designed both to protect the data and to make the database more
flexible by eliminating redundancy and inconsistent dependency.
