 Introduction

• Data
• Known facts that can be recorded
• Raw facts, unprocessed facts
• Information
• Processed data
• Understood by user
Data management focuses on the generation,
storage & retrieval of data
Limitations of File Processing System

Redundancy Problem
• Repetitive data
• Data-inconsistency problem
• Incorrectness of data
• Lack of data integration
• Complex & time consuming
 Database

ü It is a collection of interrelated data

ü It is a shared, integrated structure that stores -
• End- user data: raw facts of interest to the end-user
• Meta data: through which the end-user data are
integrated & managed. The metadata provides a
description of the data characteristics and the set
of relationships that link the data present in the
database
ü Database is an organized collection of data of an
organisation
 DBMS

• It is a collection of programs that manages structure &

controls the access to the data stored in the database
• It includes tools to add, modify or delete data from the
database, ask questions (or queries) about the data stored in
the database and produce reports
• DBMS serves as the interface between the user & the
database
 Types of Database

• Single user database system

• Multi-user database system
• Centralised database system
• Distributed database system
• Relational database system
• NoSQL database system - MongoDB
•Object oriented database -PostgreSQL
• Hierarchical Database - XML data storage
•Network Database - Ingres database
 Advantages of Database

• Controls Redundancy
• Avoids Inconsistency
• Allows Data Sharing
• Restricting Unauthorized Access
• Providing Storage Structures for efficient query
processing
• Facilitates Backup & Recovery
• Enforcing Integrity Constraints
• Supports data isolation
