Lecture 2

This document discusses the database approach and advantages of using a database management system (DBMS). The key points are: 1) The database approach was developed to overcome issues with traditional file processing systems where data definitions were embedded in programs rather than stored separately. It emphasizes integration and sharing of data. 2) Advantages of the database approach include program-data independence, planned data redundancy, improved data consistency, accessibility and quality, increased productivity, and reduced maintenance. 3) A DBMS is software that creates, maintains and controls access to databases. It provides an efficient environment for users. Examples include MS Access, SQL Server, and Oracle.

1
Database Approach
• Why database approach?

• Two main factor


➢ In TFPS the definition of data is embedded
in the application programs rather than
being stored separately and
independently.
➢ There is no control over the access and
manipulation of data in TFPS.

• To overcome above problems database


approach was developed
2
Database Approach
• Database approach emphasizes the
integration and sharing of data throughout
the organization.

• Single centralized database is used for all


department of organization.

• Self describing collection of integrated


records.

• Remove nearly all the drawback of file


processing system.
3
Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
• Program-data independence
• Planned data redundancy
• Improved data consistency
• Improved data sharing
• Increased productivity of application
development
• Improved data quality
• Improved data accessibility and
responsiveness
• Reduced program maintenance
• Improved decision support

Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
 Program-data independence
➢ The separation of data description from
the application program is called data
independence.

➢ Data descriptions are store in a central


location called repository.
6
Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
 Planned Data Redundancy
➢ Single centralized database is used for all
department of organization. So, there is no
need to store the data in several places.
 Improved Data Consistency
➢ Eliminating or controlling data redundancy
improve data consistency.
7
Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
 Improved Data Sharing
• Data is stored in central location, so it is
accessible to all users of the organization.
• Authorized users are granted permission
to use the database.
• User view is provided to one or more user
to use data.

 Increased Productivity of Application


Development
• Reduces the time and cost for developing
new business applications.

8
Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
 Improved Data Quality
• Database designer specify the constraints
to improve the quality of data.
• Database approach provide number of
tools and process to improve the quality of
data.

 Improved Data Accessibility and


Responsiveness
• Accessing and retrieving of data is very
easy because DBMS uses SQL through
which data can be accessed fastly.

9
Database Approach
Advantages of Database Approach
 Reduced Program Maintenance

• Program maintenance includes: add new


data item and types, change the formats of
data etc.
• In database approach changes either in
application program or data done without
affecting other factors.

 Improved Decision Support


• Data warehouse is used for decision
making process.

10
Cost and Risk of the Database
Approach
• New, specialized personnel
• Installation and management cost and
complexity
• Conversion costs
• Need for explicit backup and recovery
• Organizational conflict

11
Database Management System
• A database management is a software that is
used to create, maintain, and provide
controlled access to user databases.

• DBMS provides an environment that is both


convenient and efficient to use.

• Example of DBMS: MS Access, SQL Server,


Oracle……
