7. USING DATABASES WITH OTHER
SOFTWARE
 DBMSs can act as front-end or back-end
applications
Edition
Principles of Information Systems, Eighth
 Front-end applications interact directly with people
or users
 Back-end applications interact with other programs
or applications

8. DATABASE APPLICATIONS
 Today’s database applications manipulate the
content of a database to produce useful
information
Edition
Principles of Information Systems, Eighth
 Common manipulations are searching, filtering,
synthesizing, and assimilating the data
contained in a database using a number of
database applications

9. LINKING DATABASES TO THE
INTERNET
 Linking databases to the Internet is important
for many organizations and people

 Developing a seamless integration of traditional
databases with the Internet
 Allows people to access and manipulate a number of
traditional databases at the same time through the
Internet

business information from many sources in the
enterprise, covering all aspects of the company’s
Edition

processes, products, and customers
 Data mart: subset of a data warehouse
 Data mining: information-analysis tool that
involves the automated discovery of patterns and
relationships in a data warehouse

to have a positive impact on business strategy,
tactics, or operations

strategy, tactics, and operations
 Counterintelligence: steps an organization
takes to protect information sought by “hostile”
intelligence gatherers

15. DISTRIBUTED DATABASES
 Distributed database
 Database in which the data may be spread across
several smaller databases connected via
Edition
Principles of Information Systems, Eighth
telecommunications devices
 Gives corporations more flexibility in how databases
are organized and used
 Replicated database
 Database that holds a duplicate set of frequently
used data

system (OODBMS): group of programs that
manipulate an object-oriented database and
provide a user interface and connections to other
application programs

21. SUMMARY
 Database: a collection of integrated and related files
 Hierarchy of data: bits, characters, fields, records,
files, and databases
Edition
Principles of Information Systems, Eighth
 Key: a field or set of fields in a record that is used to
identify the record
