PURPOSE OF DATABASE SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION
 A Database System is designed to efficiently store,

manage, and retrieve large amounts of structured data.


Database systems provide a way to organize and
manage data in a manner that is both efficient and
secure.
PURPOSES AND BENEFITS OF
USING A DATABASE SYSTEM
This section will cover the core purposes and benefits of using a database
system:
1. Data Storage
 Database systems allow users to store large volumes of data in a centralized
and organized manner.
 Data can be stored in tables, with fields representing attributes and rows
representing records.
2. Data Retrieval and Querying
 The primary function of a database system is to provide fast and easy access
to data.
 Using SQL (Structured Query Language), users can retrieve specific data
through queries, filters, and sorts.
3. Data Integrity
 Ensures the accuracy and consistency of data by using constraints (e.g.,
primary keys, foreign keys).
 Database systems ensure that data is stored in a way that prevents
duplication and maintains consistency.
CONTN..
4.Data Security
 Protects sensitive information through user authentication, encryption, and
access controls.
 Permissions and roles are defined to restrict access to data at different levels (table,
record, column).

5. Concurrency Control
 Database systems manage multiple users accessing and modifying data
simultaneously, ensuring data consistency.
 This is achieved through transaction management and locking mechanisms.

6. Data Backup and Recovery


 Database systems provide built-in methods for backing up data and recovering
lost data in case of failures.

 Regular backups ensure business continuity and data protection.


CONTN..
7.Data Relationships
 Database systems allow for the creation of relationships between

different sets of data using keys (e.g., primary and foreign keys).
 This enables users to combine and query multiple tables efficiently,

establishing a relational model.

8. Data Scalability
 As data grows, database systems can scale to handle increasing

amounts of data.
 Advanced databases provide distributed databases and cloud

databases to support large-scale applications.


CONTN
9. Improved Decision Making
 By organizing data in a structured and accessible way, database systems

enable better data analysis and reporting.


 Accurate and up-to-date data can be used to make informed business

decisions.

10. Automation and Efficiency


 Database systems automate routine tasks such as data entry, updates, and

report generation, improving efficiency and reducing manual work.
