components that are meant for defining and managing the
Data that we collect, store, manage and use in the
database environment. In high level view the database 
system is composed of following five components
Hardware
Software
People
Procedure
Data
 Hardware

• Hardware identifies all the system’s physical components.

• It includes computers, computer peripherals and
network components.
• Computer-the main and most easily identified
hardware component o the Database system environment
 Software
Software's:
To make the database system work properly three types of
software's are required.
The software component of the database environment
includes all the software that we require to access, store
and regulate the database.

Data Modelers: Prepare the conceptual
design(ER Diagram) from the requirements.
Database Administrators: Physically implements
the database according to the logical design.
System Analyst and Programmers: They create input
