A file contains records with fields, and each record is uniquely identified by a key field like student ID. Logical files connect programs to physical files on secondary storage. Files can be accessed sequentially, randomly using indexing, or directly using the key value.
Functional dependency defines a relationship between attributes in a table where a set of attributes determine another attribute. There are different types of functional dependencies including trivial, non-trivial, multivalued, and transitive. An example given is a student table with attributes Stu_Id, Stu_Name, Stu_Age which has the functional dependency of Stu_Id->Stu_Name since the student ID uniquely identifies the student name.
The document discusses the relational data model and query languages. It provides the following key points:
1. The relational data model organizes data into tables with rows and columns, where rows represent records and columns represent attributes. Relations between data are represented through tables.
2. Relational integrity constraints include key constraints, domain constraints, and referential integrity constraints to ensure valid data.
3. Relational algebra and calculus provide theoretical foundations for query languages like SQL. Relational algebra uses operators like select, project, join on relations, while relational calculus specifies queries using logic.
Integrity constraints are rules used to maintain data quality and ensure accuracy in a relational database. The main types of integrity constraints are domain constraints, which define valid value sets for attributes; NOT NULL constraints, which enforce non-null values; UNIQUE constraints, which require unique values; and CHECK constraints, which specify value ranges. Referential integrity links data between tables through foreign keys, preventing orphaned records. Integrity constraints are enforced by the database to guard against accidental data damage.
Normalisation is a process that structures data in a relational database to minimize duplication and redundancy while preserving information. It aims to ensure data is structured efficiently and consistently through multiple forms. The stages of normalization include first normal form (1NF), second normal form (2NF), third normal form (3NF), Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF), fourth normal form (4NF) and fifth normal form (5NF). Higher normal forms eliminate more types of dependencies to optimize the database structure.

Examples are provided for each type of join to illustrate how they work.
The document discusses various database recovery techniques including log-based recovery, shadow paging recovery, and recovery with concurrent transactions. Log-based recovery uses a log to record transactions and supports either deferred or immediate database modification. Shadow paging maintains a shadow page table to allow recovery to a previous state. Checkpointing improves recovery performance. Recovery for concurrent transactions uses undo and redo lists constructed during the recovery process.
The document discusses data modeling and different data models. It describes the evolution of data models from hierarchical to network to relational models. It also covers the entity relationship and object-oriented models. The key points are that data modeling helps reconcile different views of data, business rules inform database design, and the conceptual model provides an integrated global view of the database.
The key characteristics of the database approach include: self-describing metadata that defines the database structure; insulation between programs and data through program-data and program-operation independence; data abstraction through conceptual data representation; support for multiple views of the data; and sharing of data through multiuser transaction processing that allows concurrent access while maintaining isolation and atomicity.
Codd's 12 rules are a set of rules proposed by Edgar Codd to define what is required for a database management system to be considered relational. The rules include that all data must be represented in tables and columns, all data must be logically addressable, null values must be supported systematically, the database structure must be accessible through queries, and the system must support set-based operations like inserts, updates and deletes. The rules also require physical and logical independence between the application, data and constraints.

The document defines and provides examples of different types of keys used in database systems, including super keys, candidate keys, primary keys, alternate keys, composite keys, foreign keys, and unique keys. A super key can identify a tuple but contains extra attributes, while a candidate key is a minimal super key. The primary key is chosen by the administrator and must be unique. Alternate keys are other candidate keys, and composite keys comprise multiple attributes. Foreign keys link tables using primary keys, and unique keys are like primary keys but allow null values.
The document discusses various concurrency control techniques for database systems, including lock-based protocols, timestamp-based protocols, and graph-based protocols. Lock-based protocols use locks to control concurrent access to data with different lock modes. Timestamp-based protocols assign timestamps to transactions and manage concurrency to ensure transactions execute in timestamp order. Graph-based protocols impose a partial ordering on data items modeled as a directed acyclic graph.

2. Introduction
• What is File?
• File is a collection of records related to each other. The file size is limited by the size
of memory and storagemedium.
• There are two important features of file:
1. File Activity
2. File Volatility
• File activity specifies percent of actual records which proceed in a single run.
• File volatility addresses the properties of record changes. It helps to increase the
efficiency of disk design than tape.
3. File Organization
• File organization ensures that records are available for processing. It is used to
determine an efficient fileorganization for each base relation.
• For example, if we want to retrieve employee records in alphabetical order of name.
Sorting the file by employee name is a good file organization. However, if we want to
retrieve all employees whose marks are in acertain range, a file is ordered by
employee name would not be a good file organization.
4. Types of File Organization
There are three types of organizing the file:
1. Sequential access file organization
2. Direct access file organization
3. Indexed sequential access file organization
5. Sequential access file organization
Storing and sorting in contiguous block within files on tape or disk is called as
sequential access fileorganization.
In sequential access file organization, all records are stored in a sequential order. The
records are arranged inthe ascending or descending order of a key field.
Sequential file search starts from the beginning of the file and the records can be added at
the end of the file.
In sequential file, it is not possible to add a record in the middle of the file without
rewriting the file.
• Advantages of sequential file
It is simple to program and easy to design.
Sequential file is best use if storage space.
• Disadvantages of sequential file
Sequential file is time consuming process.
It has high data redundancy.
Random searching is not possible.
6. Direct access file organization
Direct access file is also known as random access or relative file organization.
In direct access file, all records are stored in direct access storage device (DASD), such as hard
disk. Therecords are randomly placed throughout the file.
•
The records does not need to be in sequence because they are updated directly and rewritten back in
thesame location.
This file organization is useful for immediate access to large amount of information. It is used in
accessinglarge databases.
It is also called as hashing.
• Advantages of direct access file organization
Direct access file helps in online transaction processing system (OLTP) like online railway reservation
system.
In direct access file, sorting of the records are not required.
It accesses the desired records immediately.
It updates several files quickly.
It has better control over record allocation.
• Disadvantages of direct access file organization
Direct access file does not provide back up facility.
It is expensive.
It has less storage space as compared to sequential file.
7. Indexed sequential access file organization
Indexed sequential access file combines both sequential file and direct access file organization.
In indexed sequential access file, records are stored randomly on a direct access device such as magnetic
diskby a primary key.
This file have multiple keys. These keys can be alphanumeric in which the records are ordered is called
primary key.
The data can be access either sequentially or randomly using the index. The index is stored in a file and
readinto memory when the file is opened.
• Advantages of Indexed sequential access file organization
In indexed sequential access file, sequential file and random file access is possible.
It accesses the records very fast if the index table is properly organized.
The records can be inserted in the middle of the file.
It provides quick access for sequential and direct processing.
It reduces the degree of the sequential search.
• Disadvantages of Indexed sequential access file organization
Indexed sequential access file requires unique keys and periodic reorganization.
Indexed sequential access file takes longer time to search the index for the data access or retrieval.
It requires more storage space.
It is expensive because it requires special software.
It is less efficient in the use of storage space as compared to other file organizations.
8. File Organization
• The File is a collection of records. Using the primary key, we can access the records. The
type and frequency of access can be determined by the type of file organization which was
used for a given set of records.
• File organization is a logical relationship among various records. This method defines how
file records are mapped onto disk blocks.
• File organization is used to describe the way in which the records are stored in terms of
blocks, and the blocks are placed on the storage medium.
• The first approach to map the database to the file is to use the several files and store
only one fixed length record in any given file. An alternative approach is to structure our
files so that we can contain multiple lengths for records.
• Files of fixed length records are easier to implement than the files of variable length
records
9. Objective of file organization
It contains an optimal selection of records, i.e.,
records can be selected as fast as possible.
To perform insert, delete or update transaction
on the records should be quick and easy.
The duplicate records cannot be induced as a
result of insert, update or delete.
For the minimal cost of storage, records should be
stored efficiently
11. Sequential File Organization
• This method is the easiest method for file organization. In this method, files are
stored sequentially. This method can be implemented in two ways:
1. Pile File Method:
o It is a quite simple method. In this method, we store the record in a sequence,
i.e., one after another. Here, the record will be inserted in the order in which they
are inserted into tables.
o In case of updating or deleting of any record, the record will be searched in the
memory blocks. When it is found, then it will be marked for deleting, and the new
record is inserted.
13. Sequential File Organization
• This method is the easiest method for file organization. In this method, files are
stored sequentially. This method can be implemented in two ways:
1. Pile File Method:
o It is a quite simple method. In this method, we store the record in a sequence,
i.e., one after another. Here, the record will be inserted in the order in which they
are inserted into tables.
o In case of updating or deleting of any record, the record will be searched in the
memory blocks. When it is found, then it will be marked for deleting, and the new
record is inserted.
14. Insertion of the new record:
• Suppose we have four records R1, R3 and so on upto
R9 and R8 in a sequence.
• Hence, records are nothing but a row in the table.
Suppose we want to insert a new record R2 in the
sequence, then it will be placed at the end of the file.
Here, records are nothing but a row in any table.
15. Insertion of the new record:
• Suppose we have four records R1, R3 and so on upto
R9 and R8 in a sequence.
• Hence, records are nothing but a row in the table.
Suppose we want to insert a new record R2 in the
sequence, then it will be placed at the end of the file.
Here, records are nothing but a row in any table.
16. Sorted File Method
o In this method, the new record is always inserted at the file's end, and then it
will sort the sequence in ascending or descending order. Sorting of records is
based on any primary key or any other key.
o In the case of modification of any record, it will update the record and then sort
the file, and lastly, the updated record is placed in the right place.
18. Insertion of the new record
• Suppose there is a preexisting sorted sequence of four records R1, R3 and so on upto
R6 and R7. Suppose a new record R2 has to be inserted in the sequence, then it will be
inserted at the end of the file, and then it will sort the sequence.
19. Pros of sequential file organization
•
o It contains a fast and efficient method for the huge
amount of data.
o In this method, files can be easily stored in cheaper
storage mechanism like magnetic tapes.
o It is simple in design. It requires no much effort to store
the data.
o This method is used when most of the records have to
be accessed like grade calculation of a student,
generating the salary slip, etc.
o This method is used for report generation or statistical
calculations
20. Cons of sequential file organization
o It will waste time as we cannot jump on a
particular record that is required but we have to
move sequentially which takes our time.
o Sorted file method takes more time and space for
sorting the records.
21. Hash File Organization
• Hash File Organization uses the computation of
hash function on some fields of the records.
• The hash function's output determines the location
of disk block where the records are to be placed.
23. Hash organization
• When a record has to be received using the hash key columns,
then the address is generated, and the whole record is retrieved
using that address.
• In the same way, when a new record has to be inserted, then
the address is generated using the hash key and record is
directly inserted.
• The same process is applied in the case of delete and update.
• In this method, there is no effort for searching and sorting the
entire file.
• In this method, each record will be stored randomly in the
memory.
25. B+ File Organization
o B+ tree file organization is the advanced method of an indexed sequential
access method. It uses a tree-like structure to store records in File.
o It uses the same concept of key-index where the primary key is used
to sort the records.
o For each primary key, the value of the index is generated and mapped
with the record.
o The B+ tree is similar to a binary search tree (BST), but it can have
more than two children.
o In this method, all the records are stored only at the leaf node.
Intermediate nodes act as a pointer to the leaf nodes.
o They do not contain any records.
27. B+ Tree organization
o There is one root node of the tree, i.e., 25.
o There is an intermediary layer with nodes. They do not store
the actual record. They have only pointers to the leaf node.
o The nodes to the left of the root node contain the prior value
of the root and nodes to the right contain next value of the
root, i.e., 15 and 30 respectively.
o There is only one leaf node which has only values, i.e., 10,
12, 17, 20, 24, 27 and 29.
o Searching for any record is easier as all the leaf nodes are
balanced.
o In this method, searching any record can be traversed
through the single path and accessed easily.
28. Pros and Cons of B+ tree file organization
Pros of B+ tree file organization
o In this method, searching becomes very easy as all the records are stored only in the
leaf nodes and sorted theequential linked list.
o Traversing through the tree structure is easier and faster.
o The size of the B+ tree has no restrictions, so the number of records can increase or
decrease and the B+ tree structure can also grow or shrink.
o It is a balanced tree structure, and any insert/update/delete does not affect the performance
of tree.
• Cons of B+ tree file organization
o This method is inefficient for the static method.
29. Indexed sequential access method (ISAM)
• ISAM method is an advanced sequential file organization. In this method, records are
stored in the file using the primary key.
• An index value is generated for each primary key and mapped with the record. This
index contains the address of the record in the file.
If any record has to be retrieved based on its index value, then the address of the
data block is fetched and the record is retrieved from the memory
30. Pros and Cons of ISAM
• Pros of ISAM:
o In this method, each record has the address of its data block, searching a record in a huge database is
quick and easy.
o This method supports range retrieval and partial retrieval of records. Since the index is based on the
primary key values,we can retrieve the data for the given range of value. In the same way, the partial
value can also be easily searched, i.e., the student name starting with 'JA' can be easily searched.
•
• Cons of ISAM
•
o This method requires extra space in the disk to store the index value.
o When the new records are inserted, then these files have to be reconstructed to maintain the
sequence.
o When the record is deleted, then the space used by it needs to be released. Otherwise, the
performance of the database will slow down.
31. Hashing
• In a huge database structure, it is very inefficient to search all the index values and reach the
desired data.
• Hashing technique is used to calculate the direct location of a data record on the disk without
using index structure.
• In this technique, data is stored at the data blocks whose address is generated by using the
hashing function.
• The memory location where these records are stored is known as data bucket or data blocks.
• In this, a hash function can choose any of the column value to generate the address. Most of the
time, the hash function uses the primary key to generate the address of the data block.
• A hash function is a simple mathematical function to any complex mathematical function. We
can even consider the primary key itself as the address of the data block.
• That means each row whose address will be the same as a primary key stored in the data
block.
33. Hashing
• The above diagram shows data block addresses same as
primary key value.
• This hash function can also be a simple mathematical function
like exponential, mod, cos, sin, etc.
• Suppose we have mod (5) hash function to determine the
address of the data block.
• In this case, it applies mod (5) hash function on the primary
keys and generates 3, 3, 1, 4 and 2 respectively, and records
are stored in those data block addresses.
35. A hash function must be…
• Must return a valid location
• Hash function must be easy t implement
• Should be 1 to 1 mapping (avoid collision)
• A collision occurs when two distinct keys hash to the same location in
the array.
36. Hashing Techniques
A good hash function must be easy to compute and generate a low
number of collisions.
The process of finding another position (for colliding data) is called
collision resolution.
There are several methods for collision resolution, including open
addressing, chaining, and multiple hashing.
37. Hashing Techniques
• Open addressing: Proceeding from the occupied position specified by the
hash function, check the subsequent positions in order until an unused
position is found.
• Chaining: Associate an overflow area (or a linked list) to any cell (hashing
address) and then simply store the data in this medium.
• Multiple hashing: Apply a second hash function if the first results in a
collision. If another collision results, use open addressing, or apply a third
hash function, and then use open addressing.
38. Hashing Techniques
Hashing for disk files is called external hashing.
The target address space in external hashing is made of buckets (which
holds a disk block or a cluster of contiguous blocks).
The collision problem is less severe, because as many records as will fit
in a bucket can hash to the same bucket without causing collision
problem.
A table maintained in the file header converts the bucket number into
the corresponding disk block address.
39. Static Hashing
• In this method of hashing, the resultant data bucket address
will be always same.
• That means, if we want to generate address for EMP_ID = 103
using mod (5) hash function, it always result in the same
bucket address 3. There will not be any changes to the bucket
address here.
• Hence number of data buckets in the memory for this static
hashing remains constant throughout. In our example, we will
have five data buckets in the memory used to store the data
40.
41. • Suppose we have to insert some records into the file.
• But the data bucket address generated by the hash function is full or
the data already exists in that address.
• How do we insert the data? This situation in the static hashing is
called bucket overflow.
• This is one of the critical situations/ drawback in this method.
• Where will we save the data in this case? We cannot lose the data.
There are various methods to overcome this situation.
42. Dynamic Hashing
• This hashing method is used to overcome the problems of static
hashing – bucket overflow. In this method of hashing, data buckets
grows or shrinks as the records increases or decreases. This method
of hashing is also known as extendable hashing method. Let us see
an example to understand this method.
• Consider there are three records R1, R2 and R4 are in the table.
These records generate addresses 100100, 010110 and 110110
respectively. This method of storing considers only part of this
address – especially only first one bit to store the data. So it tries to
load three of them at address 0 and 1.
45. Hashing Techniques
• The hashing scheme is called static hashing if a fixed number of buckets is
allocated.
• A major drawback of static hashing is that the number of buckets must be
chosen large enough that can handle large files. That is, it is difficult to
expand or shrink the file dynamically.
• Two solutions to the above problem are:
• Extendible hashing, and
• Linear hashing
46. Parallelizing Disk Access Using RAID Technology
• A major advance in disk technology is represented by the development of
Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive/Independent Disks (RAID).
• Improving Performance with RAID: a concept called data striping is used. It
distributes data transparently over multiple disks to make them appear as
a single disk.
• Improving Reliability with RAID: A concept called mirroring or shadowing
is used. Data is written redundantly to two identical physical disks that are
treated as one logical disk.
