 Your Name
 Institution Name/Date

Slide 2: Introduction to DBMS

 Definition: A Database Management System (DBMS) is a
software system that manages databases by providing an
interface between users, applications, and the database itself.
 Example: Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL.
 Key Points:
o Purpose: To store, retrieve, and manage data efficiently.
o Components: Database engine, Database schema, Query
processor, etc.

Slide 3: Functions of DBMS

 Definition: The core functions of a DBMS include managing the
storage, retrieval, and security of data.
 Examples: Managing customer information, inventory data, and
financial records.
 Key Functions:
1. Data Security
2. Data Integrity
 3. Data Retrieval
4. Backup and Recovery
5. Concurrency Control

Slide 4: Data Security

 Definition: Data security involves protecting data from
unauthorized access or corruption.
 Example: Only authorized users can access sensitive financial data
in a banking system.
 Key Features:
o Authentication: Ensures only authorized users can access
data.
o Encryption: Protects data during transmission (e.g., SSL
encryption).
o Access Control: Defines user privileges (e.g., read, write,
execute).

Slide 5: Data Integrity

 Definition: Data integrity ensures the accuracy and consistency of
data throughout its lifecycle.
 Example: Ensuring that no two users can enter conflicting data in
an order management system.
 Types of Integrity:
o Entity Integrity: Ensures each row has a unique identifier
(e.g., primary key).
o Referential Integrity: Ensures that foreign keys reference
valid rows (e.g., order ID in an invoice).
o Domain Integrity: Ensures that data values are within a valid
range (e.g., a positive quantity).
Slide 6: Data Retrieval
 Definition: Data retrieval is the process of querying a database to
extract useful information.
 Example: Retrieving a customer’s order history in an online
shopping system.
 Key Points:
o SQL (Structured Query Language) is commonly used to
query relational databases.
o Query Example: SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE
CustomerID = 5;

Slide 7: Data Backup and Recovery

 Definition: Backup refers to creating copies of data, while
recovery refers to restoring data after loss or corruption.
 Example: A company regularly backs up its employee records to
ensure recovery in case of system failure.
 Key Features:
o Full Backup: A complete copy of the database.
o Incremental Backup: Only changes since the last backup are
saved.
o Recovery: Restoring data from backups after an event like
hardware failure.

Slide 8: Concurrency Control

 Definition: Concurrency control ensures that multiple users can
access the database simultaneously without conflicts.
  Example: Two users editing different fields of the same product
record in an inventory system at the same time.
 Key Techniques:
o Locking: Prevents conflicting transactions from happening
simultaneously.
o Transactions: A set of operations that must either all
succeed or fail as a group (ACID properties).

Slide 9: Data Dictionary Management

 Definition: A data dictionary stores metadata about the database,
such as definitions of tables, columns, and relationships.
 Example: In a hospital management system, a data dictionary
might define that PatientID is an integer and PatientName is a
string.
 Key Points:
o Metadata: Describes the structure of data.
o Helps: Developers and DBAs understand the database
schema.

Slide 10: Data Transformation & Presentation

 Definition: Data transformation is the process of converting data
into a usable format; presentation refers to how data is displayed
to users.
 Example: Converting raw sales data into a visually appealing
report for management.
 Key Techniques:
o ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): A common process for
transforming data.
 o Reporting Tools: Tools like Tableau or Power BI to visualize
data.

Slide 11: Data Modeling

 Definition: Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual
representation of data and its relationships.
 Example: An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) representing how
customers, orders, and products are related.
 Types:
o ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram): Represents entities and
relationships.
o Normalization: Organizing data to minimize redundancy.

Slide 12: Normalization

 Definition: Normalization is the process of organizing data to
reduce redundancy and dependency.
 Example: Splitting a customer’s contact details into separate
tables for addresses and phone numbers.
 Normal Forms:
o 1NF (First Normal Form): Ensures no repeating groups.
o 2NF (Second Normal Form): Eliminates partial dependency.
o 3NF (Third Normal Form): Eliminates transitive dependency.

Slide 13: Data Types

 Definition: Data types specify the kind of data that can be stored
in a column.
  Example: The column DateOfBirth in a table should use the DATE
data type to store dates.
 Common Data Types:
o Integer: For numbers without decimals.
o Varchar: For variable-length strings.
o Boolean: For true/false values.

Slide 14: Relational DBMS (RDBMS)

 Definition: A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
stores data in a tabular format, where data is organized into
tables.
 Example: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle are popular RDBMS.
 Key Features:
o Tables: Organized rows and columns.
o Primary and Foreign Keys: Used to define relationships
between tables.
o SQL: Used to query data in RDBMS.

Slide 15: Non-relational DBMS (NoSQL)

 Definition: Non-relational DBMS are designed to store data in
formats other than tables, such as key-value pairs, documents, or
graphs.
 Example: MongoDB (document store), Cassandra (wide-column
store), Redis (key-value store).
 Key Features:
o Scalability: Ideal for handling large amounts of unstructured
data.
o Flexibility: Schema-less structure.
Slide 16: Distributed Databases
 Definition: A distributed database is a database that is spread
across multiple locations, either geographically or across multiple
servers.
 Example: Google’s Bigtable, Amazon DynamoDB.
 Key Features:
o Replication: Ensures data consistency across all locations.
o Sharding: Distributes data across multiple servers to
improve performance.

Slide 17: Data Replication

 Definition: Data replication is the process of copying data from
one database to another to ensure consistency and availability.
 Example: A retail company uses replication to ensure that product
inventory data is the same across multiple store locations.
 Types:
o Master-Slave Replication: One database (master) replicates
to others (slaves).
o Multi-Master Replication: Multiple databases can act as
both master and slave.

Slide 18: Data Recovery

 Definition: Data recovery refers to the process of restoring data
from a backup after an unexpected event like a hardware failure
or crash.
  Example: Restoring an e-commerce website’s product database
after a server crash.
 Key Techniques:
o Point-in-time Recovery: Restores data to a specific moment
in time.
o Transaction Logs: Used to roll back or roll forward
transactions.

Slide 19: Data Privacy & Compliance

 Definition: Data privacy ensures that sensitive data is protected
according to legal and regulatory standards.
 Example: GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) mandates
how personal data should be handled in the European Union.
 Key Principles:
o Data Encryption: Protects data from unauthorized access.
o Access Control: Limits who can view or alter sensitive data.

Slide 20: Applications of DBMS

 Definition: DBMS is widely used across different industries for
managing large amounts of data.
 Example:
o Banking: Storing customer account details, transaction
histories.
o Telecommunications: Storing user data, billing information.
o Healthcare: Storing patient medical records.

Slide 21: Real-World Example

  Example: A hospital management system uses a DBMS to store
patient records, appointment schedules, and medical histories.
o Tables: Patients, Appointments, Doctors, Treatments.
o Relationships: A patient can have multiple appointments; a
doctor can treat multiple patients.

Slide 22: Conclusion

 Summary: DBMS provides efficient, secure, and reliable data
management solutions.
 Closing Thought: A solid understanding of DBMS is crucial for
managing and optimizing the vast amount of data generated in
today’s digital world.
