What is Database INSTAGRAM “ecodeatu!
The database is a collection of inter-related data which is used to retrieve, insert and
delete the data efficiently. It is also used to organize the data in the form of a table,
schema, views, and reports, etc.
For example: The college Database organizes the data about the admin, staff.
students and faculty etc.
Using the database, you can easily retrieve, insert, and delete the information.
Database Management System
e Database management system is a software which is used to manage the
database. For example: MySQL. Oracle, etc are a very popular commercial
database which is used in different applications.
DBMS provides an interface to perform various operations like database
creation, storing data in it, updating data, creating a table in the database and a
lot more.
It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users,
it also maintains data consistency.
DBMS allows users the following tasks:
¢ Data Definition: It is used for creation, modification, and removal of definition
that defines the organization of data in the database.
< Data Updation: It is used for the insertion, modification, and deletion of the
actual data in the database.
¢ Data Retrieval: It is used to retrieve the data from the database which can be
used by applications for various purposes.

What is Database?
A database is an organized collection of data, so that it can be easily accessed and
managed.
You can organize data into tables, rows, columns, and index it to make it easier to
find relevant information.
Database handlers create a database in such a way that only one set of software
program provides access of data to all the users.
The main purpose of the database is to operate a large amount of information by

CODING BUGS ENOTES GALLERYEvolution of Databases
The database has completed more than 50 years of journey of its evolution from flat-
file system to relational and objects relational systems. It has gone through several
generations.
The Evolution
File-Based
1968 was the year when File-Based database were introduced. In file-based
databases, data was maintained in a flat file. Though files have many advantages,
there are several limitations.
One of the major advantages is that the file system has various access methods, ¢.g..
sequential, indexed, and random.
It requires extensive programming in a third-generation language such as COBOL,
BASIC.
Hierarchical Data Model
1968-1980 was the era of the Hierarchical Database. Prominent hierarchical database
model was IBM's first DBMS. It was called IMS (Information Management System).
In this model, files are related in a parent/child manner.
Below diagram represents Hierarchical Data Model. Small circle represents objects.

Like file system, this model also had some limitations like complex implementation,
lack structural independence, can't easily handle a many-many relationship, etc.
Network data model
Charles Bachman developed the first DBMS at Honeywell called Integrated Data
Store (IDS). It was developed in the early 1960s, but it was standardized in 1971 by
the CODASYL group (Conference on Data Systems Languages).
In this model, files are related as owners and members, like to the common network
model.
Network data model identified the following components:
Network schema (Database organization)

SICODING BUGS CINOTES GALLERYSub-schema (views of database per user)
e Data management language (procedural)
This model also had some limitations like system complexity and difficult to design
and maintain.
Relational Database
1970 - Present: It is the era of Relational Database and Database Management. In
1970, the relational model was proposed by E.F. Codd.
Relational database model has two main terminologies called instance and schema.
‘The instance is a table with rows or columns
INSTAGRAM -@codeatul
Schema specifies the structure like name of the relation, type of each column and
name.
This model uses some mathematical concept like set theory and predicate logic.
The first internet database application had been created in 1995.
During the era of the relational database, many more models had introduced like
object-oriented model, object-relational model, etc.
Cloud database
Cloud database facilitates you to store, manage, and retrieve their structured,
unstructured data via a cloud platform. This data is accessible over the Internet.
Cloud databases are also called a database as service (DBaaS) because they are
offered as a managed service.

NoSQL Database
A NoSQL database is an approach to design such databases that can accommodate
iety of data models. NoSQL s\ s for "not only SQL." It is an alternative
to traditional relational databases in which data is placed in tables, and data schema

Advantage of NoSQL
High Scalability
NoSQL can handle an extensive amount of data because of scalability. If the data
grows, NoSQL database scale it to handle that data in an efficient manner.
High Availability
NoSQL supports auto replication. Auto replication makes it highly available
because, in case of any failure. data replicates itself to the previous consistent state.
Disadvantage of NoSQL
Open source
NoSQL is an open-source database, so there is no reliable standard for NoSQL yet.
Management challenge
Data management in NoSQL is much more complicated than relational databases. It
is very challenging to install and even more hectic to manage daily.
GUl is not available
GUI tools for NoSQL database are not easily available in the market.

ING BUGS NOTES GALLERYThe Object-Oriented Databases
The object-oriented databases contain data in the form of object and classes. Objects
are the real-world entity, and types are the collection of objects. An object-oriented
database is a combination of relational model features with objects oriented
principles. It is an alternative implementation to that of the relational model
Object-oriented databases hold the rules of object-oriented programming. An object-

A graph database is a NoSQL database. It is a graphical representation of data.
It contains nodes and edges. A node represents an entity, and each edge
represents a relationship between two edges. Every node in a graph database
represents a unique identifier.
Graph databases are beneficial for searching the relationship between data
because they highlight the relationship between relevant data.

DBMS (Data Base Management System)
Database management System is software which is used to store and retrieve
the database. For example, Oracle, MySQL, etc.; these are some popular
DBMS tools.
DBMS provides the interface to perform the various operations like creation,
deletion, modification, etc.
DBMS allows the user to create their databases as per their requirement.
DBMS accepts the request from the application and provides specific data
through the operating system.
DBMS contains the group of programs which acts according to the user
instruction.
It provides security to the database.Advantage of DBMS

automatic data from system failure and restores data if required.
Multiple user interfaces
- It provides a different type of user interfi

Disadvantage of DBMS
Size
It occupies large disk space and large memory to run efficiently.
Cost
DBMS requires a high-speed data processor and larger memory to run DBMS
software. so it is costly.
Complexity
DBMS creates additional complexity and requirements.
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)
The word RDBMS is termed as ‘Relational Database Management System.’ It is
represented as a table that contains rows and column.RDBMS is based on the Relational model; it was introduced by E. F. Codd.
A relational database contains the following components:
« Table
c Record/ Tuple
ce Field/Column name /Attribute
¢ Instance
¢ Schema
co Keys
An RDBMS is a tabular DBMS that maintains the security, integrity, accuracy, and
consistency of the data.
Types of Databases
‘There are various types of databases used for storing different varieties of data:
Creep
Distributed Geers
Cer
1) Centralized Database
It is the type of database that stores data at a centralized database system. It comforts
the users to access the stored data from different locations through several
applications. These applications contain the authentication process to let users access
data securely. An example of a Centralized database can be Central Library that
carries a central database of each library in a college/university.Advantages of Centralized Database
It has decreased the risk of data management, i.e., manipulation of data will
not affect the core data.
Data consistency is maintained as it manages data in a central repository.
It provides better data quality, which enables organizations to establish data
standards.
It is less costly because fewer vendors are required to handle the data sets.
Disadvantages of Centralized Database
The size of the centralized database is large, which increases the response time
for fetching the data.
It is not easy to update such an extensive database system.
If any server failure occurs, entire data will be lost, which could be a huge loss.
2) Distributed Database
Unlike a centralized database system, in distributed systems, data is distributed
among different database s'
connected via communication links. Such links help the end-users to a
tems of an organization. These database systems are
ss the data
easily. Examples of the Distributed database are Apache Cassandra, HBase, Ignite,
etc.
We can further divide a distributed database system into:< Homogeneous DDB: Those database systems which execute on the same
operating system and use the same application process and carry the same
hardware devices
- Heterogeneous DDB: Those database systems which execute on different
operating systems under different application procedures, and c
hardware devices.
Advantages of Distributed Database
< Modular development is possible in a distributed database, i.e., the system can
be expanded by including new computers and connecting them to the
distributed system.
¢ One server failure will not affect the entire data set.
3) Relational Database
This database is based on the relational data model, which stores data in the form of
rows(tuple) and columns(attributes), and together forms a table(relation). A
relational database uses SQL for storing, manipulating, as well as maintaining the
data. E.F. Codd invented the database in 1970. Each table in the database carries a
key that makes the data unique from others. Examples of Rel:
MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle. etc.
nal databases are
Properties of Relational Database
‘There are following four commonly known properties of a relational model known
as ACID properties, where:
A means Atomicity: This ensures the data operation will complete either with
success or with failure. It follows the ‘all or nothing’ strategy. For example, a
trans
ction will either be committed or will abort.C means Consistency: If we perform any operation over the data, its value before
and after the operation should be preserved. For example. the account balance before
and after the transaction should be correct. i.
. it should remain conserved.
I means Isolation: There can be concurrent users for accessing data at the same time
from the database. Thus, isolation between the data should remain isolated. For
example, when multiple transactions occur at the same time, one transaction effects
should not be visible to the other transactions in the database.
D means Durability: It ensures that once it completes the operation and commits
the data, data changes should remain permanent.
4) NoSQL Database
Non-SQL/Not Only SQL is a type of database that is used for storin:
of data sets. It is not a relational database as it stores data not only in tabular form
but in several different ways. It came into existence when the demand for building
modern applications increased. Thus, NoSQL presented a wide variety of database
technologies in response to the demands. We can further divide a NoSQL database
a wide range
into the following four types:
a. Key-value storage: It is the simplest type of database storage where it stores
every single item as a key (or attribute name) holding its value, together.b. Document-oriented Database: A type of database used to store data as JSON-
like document. It helps developers in storing data by using the same document-
model format as used in the application code.
c. Graph Databases: It is used for storing vast amounts of data in a graph-like
structure. Most commonly, social networking websites use the h database.
d. Wide-column stores: It is si
milar to the data represented in relational
databases. Here, data is stored in large columns together, instead of storing in
rows.
Advantages of NoSQL Database
e Itenables good productivity in the application development as it is not required
to store data in a structured format.
e Itis a better option for managing and handling large data sets.
+ It provides high scalability.
= Users can quickly access data from the database through key-value.
5) Cloud Database
A type of database where data is stored in a virtual environment and executes over
the cloud computing platform. It provides users with various cloud computing
s (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) for accessing the database. There are numerous
cloud platforms, but the best options are:

The type of database that uses the object-based data model approach for storing data
in the database system. The data is represented and stored as objects which are
similar to the objects used in the object-oriented programming language.
7) Hierarchical Databases
It is the type of database that stores data in the form of parent-children relationship
nodes. Here, it organizes data in a tree-like structure.
Ce] at]
Hierarchical Database
Data get stored in the form of records that are connected via links. Each child record
in the tree will contain only one parent. On the other hand, each parent record can
have multiple child records.
8) Network Databases
It is the database that typically follows the network data model. Here, the
representation of data is in the form of nodes connected via links between them.
Unlike the hierarchical database, it allows each record to have multiple children and
parent nodes to form a generalized graph structure.
9) Personal DatabaseCollecting and storing data on the user's system defines a Personal Database. This
database is basically designed for a single user.
Advantage of Personal Database
= Itis simple and easy to handle.
It occupies less storage space as it is small in size.
10) Operational Database
The type of database which creates and updates the database in real-time. It is
basically designed for executing and handling the daily data operations in several
businesses. For example, An organization uses operational databases for managing
per day transactions.
11) Enterprise Database
Large organizations or enterprises use this database for managing a massive amount
of data. It helps organizations to increase and improve their efficiency. Such a
database allows simultaneous access to users.
Advantages of Enterprise Database:
Multi processes are supportable over the Enterprise database.
It allows executing parallel queries on the system.
What is RDBMS
RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management Systems..
All modern database management systems like SQL, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2.
ORACLE, My-SQL and Microsoft Acc are based on RDBMS.
Itis called Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) because it is based
on relational model introduced by E.F. Codd.How it works
Data is represented in terms of tuples (rows) in RDBMS.
Relational database is most commonly used database. It contains number of tables
and each table has its own primary key.
Due to a collection of organized set of tables, data can be accessed easily in RDBMS.
Brief History of RDBMS
During 1970 to 1972, E.F. Codd published a paper top the use of relational
database model. \
RDBMS is originally based on that E.F. Codd’ ational model invention.

The RDBMS database uses tal io data. A table is a collection of related data
entries and contains rows col s to store data.
A table is the simple: f data storage in RDBMS.

What is field
Field is a smaller entity of the table which contains specific information about every
record in the table. In the above example, the field in the student table consist of id,
name, age, course.
What is row or record
A row of a table is also called record. It contains the specific information of each
individual entry in the table. It is a horizontal entity in the table. For example: The
above table contains 5 records,
Let's see one record/row in the:table.

with a specific field in a table. For example: "name" is a column in the above table
which contains all information about student's name.Ajeet

NULL Values
The NULL value of the table specifies that the field has been left blank during record
creation. It is totally different from the value filled with zero or a field that contains
space.
Data Integrity
There are the following categories of data integrity exist with each RDBMS:
Entity integrity: It specifies that there should be no duplicate rows in a table.
Domain integrity: It enforces valid entries for a given column by restricting the
type, the format, or the range of values.
Referential integrity: It specifies that rows cannot be deleted, which are used by
other records.
User-defined integrity: It enforces some specific business rules that are defined by
users. These rules are different from entity, domain or referential integrity.Difference between DBMS and RDBMS
Although DBMS and RDBMS both are used to store information in physical
database but there are some remarkable differences between them.
The main differences between DBMS and RDBMS are given below:

DBMS vs. File System
File System Approach
File based systems were an early attempt to computerize the manual system. It is
also called a traditional based approach in which a decentralized approach was taken
where each department stored and controlled its own data with the help of a data
processing specialist. The main role of a data processing specialist was to create the
necessary computer file structures, and also manage the data within structures and
design some application programs that create reports based on file data.Users Users Users

In the above figure:
Consider an example of a student's file system. The student file will contain
information regarding the student (ie. roll no, student name, course etc.). Similarly,
we have a subject file that contains information about the subject and the result file
which contains the information regarding the result.
Some fields are duplicated in more than one file, which leads to data redundancy. So
to overcome this problem, we need_to create a centralized system, i.e. DBMS
approach.
DBMS:
A database approach is)a well-organized collection of data that are related in a
meaningful way which can be accessed by different users but stored only once in a
system. The various operations performed by the DBMS system are: Insertion,
deletion, selection, sorting etc.eye

DBMS Architecture
c The DBMS design depends upon its architecture. The basic client/server
architecture is used to deal with a large number of PCs, web servers, database
servers and other components that are connected with networks.
c The client/server architecture consists of many PCs and a workstation which
are connected via the network.
ce DBMS architecture depends upon how users are connected to the database to
get their request done.Types of DBMS Architecture
DBMS
Architecture
2-tier
Architecture
Database architecture can be seen as a single tier or multi-tier. But logically, database
architecture is of two types like: 2-tier architecture and 3-tier architecture.
1-Tier Architecture
c In this architecture, the database is directly available to the user. It means the
user can directly sit on the DBMS and uses it.
Any changes done here will directly be done on the database itself. It doesn't
provide a handy tool for end users.
The 1|-Tier architecture is used for development of the local application, where
programmers can directly communicate with the database for the quick
response.2-Tier Architecture
The 2-Tier architecture is same as basic client-server. In the two-tier
architecture, applications on the client end can directly communicate with the
database at the server side. For this interaction, API's like: ODBC, JDBC are
used.
The user interfaces and application programs are run on the client-side.
The server side is responsible to provide the functionalities like: query
processing and transaction management.
To communicate with the DBMS, client-side application establishes a
connection with the server side.
Dette sate
Fig: 2-tier Architecture
3-Tier Architecture
The 3-Tier architecture contains another layer between the client and server. In
this architecture, client can't directly communicate with the server.
The application on the client-end interacts with an application server which
further communicates with the database system.
End user has no idea about the existence of the database beyond the application
server. The database also has no idea about any other user beyond the
application.
The 3-Tier architecture is used in case of large web application.[=

¢ In External / Conceptual mapping, it is necessary to transform the request from
external level to conceptual schema.
ce In Conceptual / Internal mapping, DBMS transform the request from the
conceptual to internal level.
Objectives of Three schema Architecture
The main objective of three level architecture is to enable multiple users to access
the same data with a personalized view while storing the underlying data only once.
Thus it separates the user's view from the physical structure of the database. This
separation is desirable for the following reasons:
c Different users need different views of the same data.
© The approach in which a particular user needs to see the data may change over
time.
The users of the database should not worry about the physical implementation
and internal workings of the database such as data compression and encryption
techniques, hashing, optimization of the internal structures etc.
e All users should be able to access the same data according to their
requirements.
e DBA should be able to change the conceptual structure of the database without
affecting the user's
e Internal structure of the database should be unaffected by changes to physical
aspects of the storage.1, Internal Level

+ String length 15 offset 4
Internal view + 8,2 decimal offset 19
4 decimal offset 27
: string length 15 offset 31
co The internal level has an internal schema which describes the physical storage
structure of the database.
ce The internal schema is also known as a physical schema.
c It uses the physical data model. It is used to define that how the data will be
stored in a block.
c The physical level is used to describe complex low-level data structures in
detail.
The internal level is generally is concerned with the following activities:
co Storage space allocations.
For Example: B-Trees, Hashing etc.
co Access paths.
For Example: Specification of primary and secondary keys, indexes, pointers
and sequencing.
Data compression and encryption techniques.
co Optimization of internal structures.
c Representation of stored fields.2.

e The conceptual schema describes the design of a database at the conceptual
level. Conceptual level is also known as logical level.
co The conceptual schema describes the structure of the whole database.
co The conceptual level describes what data are to be stored in the database and
also describes what relationship exists among those data.
co In the conceptual level, internal details such as an implementation of the data
structure are hidden.
e Programmers and database administrators work at this level.

c At the external level, a database contains several schemas that sometimes
called as subschema. The subschema is used to describe the different view of
the database.
¢ An external schema is also known as view schema.
e Each view schema describes the database part that a particular user group is
interested and hides the remaining database from that user group.
e The view schema describes the end user interaction with database systems.Mapping between Views
c The three levels of DBMS architecture don't exist independently of each other.
There must be correspondence between the three levels i.e. how they actually
correspond with each other. DBMS is responsible for correspondence between
the three types of schema. This correspondence is called Mapping.
c There are basically two types of mapping in the database architecture:
ce Conceptual/ Internal Mapping
c External / Conceptual Mapping
c Conceptual/ Internal Mapping
c The Conceptual/ Internal Mapping lies between the conceptual level and the
internal level. Its role is to define the correspondence between the records and
fields of the conceptual level and files and data structures of the internal level.

© The external/Conceptual Mapping lies between the external level and the
Conceptual level. Its role is to define the correspondence between a particular
external and the conceptual view.
Data Models
Data Model is the modeling of the data description, data semantics, and consistency
constraints of the data. It provides the conceptual tools for describing the design of
a database at each level of data abstraction. Therefore, there are following four data
models used for understanding the structure of the database:Data Models

Data Model
1) Relational Data Model: This type of model designs the data in the form of rows
and columns within a table. Thus, a relational model uses tables for representing data
and in-between relationships. Tables are also called relations. This model was
initially described by Edgar F. Codd, in 1969. The relational data model is the widely
used model which is primarily used by commercial data processing applications.
2) Entity-Relationship Data Model: An ER model is the logical representation of
data as objects and relationships among them. These objects are known as entities,
and relationship is an association among these entities. This model was designed by
Peter Chen and published in 1976 papers. It was widely used in database designing.
A set of attributes describe the entities. For example, student_name, student_id
describes the 'student' entity. A set of the same type of entities is known as an ‘Entity
set’, and the set of the same type of relationships is known as ‘relationship set’.
3) Object-based Data Model: An extension of the ER model with notions of
functions, encapsulation, and object identity, as well. This model supports a rich type
system that includes structured and collection types. Thus, in 1980s, various
database systems following the object-oriented approach were developed. Here, the
objects are nothing but the data carrying its properties.
4) Semistructured Data Model: This type of data model is different from the other
three data models (explained above). The semistructured data model allows the data
specifications at places where the individual data items of the same type may have
different attributes sets. The Extensible Markup Language, also known as XML, is
tially
widely used for representing the semistructured data. Although XML wadesigned for including the markup information to the text document, it gains
importance because of its application in the exchange of data.
Data model Schema and Instance
The data which is stored in the database at a particular moment of time is called
an instance of the database.
The overall design of a database is called schema.
A database schema is the skeleton structure of the database. It represents the
logical view of the entire database.
A schema contains schema objects like table, foreign key, primary key, views,
columns, data types, stored procedure, ete.
A database schema can be represented’ by using the visual diagram. That
diagram shows the database objects and relationship with each other.
A database schema is designed by the database designers to help programmers
whose software will interact with the database. The process of database
creation is called data modeling.
A schema diagram can display only some aspects of a schema like the name of record
type, data type, and constraints. Other aspects can't be specified through the schema
diagram. For example, the given figure neither show the data type of each data item
nor the relationship among various files.
In the database, actual data changes quite frequently. For example, in the given
figure, the database changes whenever we add a new grade or add a student. The
data at a particular moment of time is called the instance of the database.
