INTRODUCTION

 A database system is basically a computer base

record-keeping system .

 The collection of data usually referred to as the

data base.

 A database may also be defined as a collection of

interrelated data store together to serve multiple
applications.
 In a typical file processing system permanent records are stored in
various files.
 A number of different application programs are written to extract
record from And add records to the appropriate files but the system
has a number of major limitation and this dis advantages such as
 DATA REDUNDANCY,(Duplication of data)
 DATA INCONSISTENTENCY, (Multiple copies of same data but not
matching with one another
 UNSHARABLE DATA,
 UNSTANDARDISED DATA,
 IN SECURE DATA,
 IN CORRECT DATA.
 So the answer for all this thing is what?
 SOLUTION IS DBMS
 A database management system is answer to all these
problems as it provides a centralized control of the data,
thereby minimizing these problems in the database.

 A DBMS that is database management system refers to a

software that is responsible for storing maintaining and
utilizing a database a database along with the DBMS is
referred to as a database system.
RELATIONAL DATABASE MODEL
 In relational database model, the data is organize into tables that is
Rows and columns .
 These tables are call relation. A row in a table represents a
relationship among a set of values.
 Let’s See a sample database in a relational form . the sample database
Being shown here has three tables (relation). The table is our
suppliers, items, shipment.

Rows of relation are generally referred as TUPLLES

The columns are usually referred as ATTRIBUTES.

 COMPONENTS OF A TABLE
 BYTE - A byte is a group of eight bits and is used to store a
character.

 DATA ITEMS- A data item is the smallest unit of name data. It

may consist of any number of bits or bites. A data item re-present
one type of information And is often referred as a field or data
element.

 RECORD: a record is a named collection of data item which

represents a complete unit of information.

 TABLE : A table is a named collection of all occurrence of a given

type of logical record.
