7. What is a Database
A Database Management System
Or just a database is a collection of
software programmes for
managing data,
It helps to STORE, RETRIEVE, and
MANIPULATE data in an efficient
manner.

8. Database Concepts
Database Model
A database model is a
type of data model
that defines the logical
structure of a
database and
determines in which
manner data can be
stored, organized, and
manipulated.

9. Database Concepts
The Relational model
Proposed by Edgar F. Codd in 1970 broke of
from the tradition of hierarchical model
and insisted that applications should
search for data by content, rather than
following links. The relational model
employs sets of ledger-style tables, each
used for a different type of entity.
By mid-1980s relational systems (DBMSs
plus applications) became popular owing
to the advent of better computer
hardware. (Source : Wikipedia)

10. Database Concepts
Tables / Relations
A table is an accepted
visual representation
of a relation; a tuple is
similar to the concept
of a row. It is a set of
column definitions
along with the data
appearing in that
structure.
Columns /Attributes
Attribute is the term
used in the theory for
what is commonly
referred to as
a column.
Rows / Tuples
A row is a collection of
column values in a
specific order which
has a one to one
mapping with the
attribute name.

11. Database Concepts
Constraints
Constraints enforce
consistency of data in a
relational database.
Rules that govern data
stored in tables.
Rules to define
relationships between two
tables.
Primary Key, Foreign Key,
Not Null, Check, Unique.
Transaction
A transaction can be
defined as a group of
tasks. A single task is
the minimum
processing unit which
cannot be divided
further.
Transaction is
completed with a
Commit/Rollback
ACID Properties of
Transactions
Atomicity − This property states
that a transaction must be treated
as an atomic unit, that is, either all
of its operations are executed or
none.
Consistency − The database must
remain in a consistent state after
any transaction.
Durability − The database should be
durable enough to hold all its latest
updates even if the system fails or
restarts.
Isolation − In a multi transactional
database system, No transaction
will affect the existence of any other
transaction.

15. Working with databases
SQL (Structured Query
Language)
Declarative, Non-
Programming Language used
to Interact with the database.
Allows to CREATE, ALTER and
DROP Data objects i.e. Tables
and one can SELECT, INSERT,
UPDATE and DELETE data
from tables using SQL.
SQL Users
+ Database Application
Developers
+ Database Administrators
+ Data Analysts

16. Working with databases
SQL Basics
SQL Statements fall under the
following categories
+ DDL (Data Definition
Language)
+ DML (Data Manipulation
Language)
+ SELECT (query data from
one or more tables)
+ DCL (Data Control
Language)
+ TCL (Transaction Control
Language)
SQL Examples
create table emp(
empno number(4,0),
ename varchar2(10),
job varchar2(9),
mgr number(4,0),
hiredate date,
sal number(7,2),
comm number(7,2),
deptno number(2,0),
constraint pk_emp primary key (empno),
constraint fk_deptno foreign key (deptno) references dept (deptno)
);
insert into emp values( 7839, 'KING', 'PRESIDENT',
null, to_date('17-11-1981','dd-mm-yyyy'), 5000, null, 10);
SELECT EMP.*,DNAME,LOC FROM Emp, Dept WHERE Dname IN
('ACCOUNTING','RESEARCH') AND EMP.DEPTNO = DEPT.DEPTNO
ORDER BY EMP.DEPTNO

17. Working with databases
Programmability
Most popular databases have
a feature called STORED
PROCEDURES which are
program units that can be
created and stored within the
database
Helps to store business
specific logic within the
database which improves
performance

18. Job roles and duties of Database Professionals

managing application, Write code for
creating and managing frontent UI
