IV. Lectures and Annotation:
DATABASE SYSTEMS
- or DBMS is software that caters to the collection of electronic and digital records
to extract useful information and store that information.
➢ Factors about Database Systems
• Good decisions require good information derived from raw facts.
• Data managed most efficiently when stored in a database
• Databased evolved from computer file systems
• Understanding file systems characteristics is important
➢ Data VS. Information
• Data are raw facts that consist of basic facts and figures
• Information is the result of processing raw data to reveal meaning
• Data are the foundation of information which is the bedrock of knowledge.
• Accurate, relevant and timely information is the key to good decision making
• Good decision making is the key to organizational survival
Introducing the Database and the DBMS
• Database is a shared, integrated computer structure that stores a collection of
data.
- Metadata: Data about data
Metadata provides description of data characteristics and relationships in
data.
• Database Management System (DBMS) is a collection of programs that
manages structure and control access of data.

➢ Roles of DBMS
• DBMS is the intermediary between the user and the database.
• Database structure stored as file collection
• Access database through the DBMS
• DBMS enables data to be shared
• DBMS integrates many users’ views of the data
Classification of Database
• Databases can be classified according to:
- Number of users
- Database location(s)
- Expected type and extent of use
Type of Databases
• Single-user database – supports only one user at a time
▪ Desktop database – single user, runs on PC
• Multi-user database – supports multiple users at the same time
▪ Workgroup database supports a small number of end users
▪ Enterprise database supports a large number of end users

• Centralized database – the data are located at a single site
• Distributed database – the data are distributed across several different sites
• Operational database – supports a company’s day-to-day operations
▪ Transactional or production database
➢ Types of Data
• Unstructured data exist in their original state
• Structured data results from formatting
Why Database Design is Important
• Database Design focuses on design of database structure used of end-user data.
▪ Well-designed database:
- Facilitates data management
- Generates accurate and valuable information
▪ Poorly designed database:
- Causes difficult to trace errors
