 Questions…?
The three BURNING questions in mind…

• Why are we learning databases, Is Excel not enough

• What operations we can perform and purpose it would solve

• What will be the course outcome?

• Let’s start off 

Is Excel a database???
Definitely Not!!!
• A spreadsheet is an application for tabulating data
while a database is where data is stored so that it
can be retrieved by users

• The amount of data that is usually stored in a

database is way more than what is contained in a
spreadsheet

• A spreadsheet is edited directly by people while a

database is accessed by applications that enter
and modify data

• A spreadsheet is usually used for presentations

and paperwork while databases are commonly
used in cases where a lot of data needs to stored
World full of information
What to be done?
Growth of Data
Results
How do we manage?
Businesses!!!
Composition
What would we do with databases
Where does these social networking sites
store the data?
Where mobile contacts are stored???
They do most of the work!!!
What is a database?
Advantages of DBMS
• Controlling Redundancy
• Integrity can be enforced
• Inconsistency can be avoided
• Data can be shared
• Restricting unauthorized access
• Providing Backup and recovery
• Concurrency control
Disadvantages of DBMS
• Complexity
• Size
• Performance
• Cost of DBMS
• Additional hardware cost
• Cost of conversion
Structure of Relational Databases
Managed in the form of Rows and Columns
Bob’s Address Book
His friend Megan’s Details
Database Design: It’s how they are stored!!!
Can perform various operations!!!
Hey Lets Look for Megan
Search can be more accurate!!!
That’s what we get!!!
Transaction Processing
What you would learn 
 Develop skills and understanding in the database design and make use of database management
systems for applications

 Develop understanding about relational algebra, relational model and SQL for implementing and
maintaining databases

 Develop skills and understanding about the real – time transaction management systems and
the concurrency control techniques

 Understand the access structures needed to speed up the retrieval of records in response to
certain search conditions

 Extend the understanding and implementation of the database technology in the distributed
environment
