Data Resource Management

With each online mouse click, either a fresh data is generated or stored data
are retrieved from buisness website This increases the need for data storage
and management systems to handle these vast amounts of information.

Types of Databases

Databases are systems used to store, manage, and retrieve data. Here are
the main types:

1. Operational Databases:

Store detailed data for daily business operations.

Examples: Customer database, HR database, inventory database.

2. Distributed Databases

Spread across multiple locations or systems.

Ensures availability and reliability by replicating data in different areas.

3. External Databases

Contain data from external sources like websites or statistical services.

Examples: Economic data, newspapers, and research papers.

4. Hypermedia Databases

Store multimedia information, such as text, images, video, and audio.

Widely used in websites and intranets with hyperlinked content.

Data Warehouse

A data warehouse is a central repository of data gathered from various


sources (operational, external, etc.).

Key Features:

 Data is cleaned and organized for analysis.


 Used for business analysis, decision-making, and market research.
 Subdivided into data marts , which focus on specific company areas
(e.g., sales, marketing).
Data Mining

 involves analyzing data in a data warehouse to discover hidden


patterns and trends.

Uses:

- Identifying product bundles (market-basket analysis).

- Solving quality or manufacturing issues.

- Retaining customers and attracting new ones.

- Creating accurate customer profiles.

Traditional File Processing Issues

Before modern databases, data was stored in isolated files. This caused
issues:

1. Data Redundancy

Duplicate data across files (e.g., the same customer info in multiple files).

Updating became inefficient and error-prone.

2. Lack of Data Integration

 Information spread across different files, making it hard to combine


data.
 Special programs were needed to retrieve information.

3. Data Dependence

 File structure and location depended on specific programs, limiting


flexibility.

Database Management Approach

This approach replaces isolated files with integrated databases accessible to


multiple applications.
Example: A bank consolidates customer data for ATMs, loans, and credit
cards into one database.

Database Management System (DBMS)

A DBMS is software that manages and controls databases.

Popular DBMS:

 IBM DB2
 Oracle
 MySQL (open-source).

Functions of DBMS:

1. Creating databases and applications.

2. Maintaining data quality.

3. Providing data to end-users.

Benefits of DBMS:

Database Interrogation: Users can query the database for specific


information using tools like SQL (Structured Query Language).

Example of SQL Query: SELECT . . . FROM . . . WHERE . . .
