1. DATABASE SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
a. Databases are inter-related data structures used for efficient retrieval, inserting,
and deletion. They organize data in tables, schemas, views, and reports.
Normalization, a schema design technique, modifies existing schemas to
minimize redundancy and dependency by splitting large tables into smaller
ones.
b. Databases like MySQL and Oracle enable easy creation, retrieval, inserting,
updating, and deleting of information, providing protection, security, and data
consistency for multiple users.
c. For Example: University database organizes student, course, and grade information
in five files.
The STUDENT file stores data of each student
The COURSE file stores contain data on each course
The SECTION stores the information about sections in a particular course
The GRADE file stores the grades which students receive in the various sections
d. A database is a collection of electronic records for processing and organizing
information, enabling access, modification, management, control, and
querying operations.
e. The management responsibilities for DBMS encompass:
i. Information within the databases
ii. The processes applied to databases such as access and modification
iii. The database’s logic structure
f. Database Management Systems (DBMS) are used to access, modify, store, and
retrieve data from databases, including DDL, DML, DAL, and DCL. They support
multiple users and ensure data integrity.
Keywords: MySQL, Oracle, DBMS, DDL, DML, DAL, DCL
2. OVERVIEW OF DBMS
a. A Database Management System (DBMS) is software used to store, retrieve,
define, and manage data in a database. It serves as an interface between the end
user and the database, managing data, engine, and schema.
b. DBMS features include user-accessible metadata, data abstraction, security,
logging, auditing, concurrency, transaction authorization, and remote access
support.
c. The logical view of DBMS schema is shown in the following figure:

d. DBMS is a software application for accessing, creating, and managing databases,
enabling easy data creation, retrieval, and updating, and serving as an interface
for end-users.
e. The DBMS system is shown in the following figure:
f. Database Management Systems also aims to facilitate a variety of administrative
operations such as tuning, performance monitoring and backup recovery.
g. Database Management Systems allows users to do the following:
i. Define Data – Allows the users to create, modify and delete the
organization of the database
ii. Update Data – Provides access to the users to insert, modify and delete
data from the database
iii. Retrieve Data – Allows the users to retrieve data from the database
based on the requirement
iv. Administration of users – Registers the users and monitors their action,
enforces data security, maintains data integrity, monitors performance
and deals with concurrency control
