Course Description
This course is concerned with the design of the database itself -- not with the design of database system software.
We will discuss DBMS internals only as they relate to the database and its design and structure
We will spend a fair amount time on database application design, especially on options for Web application database support -- but this will not be primary focus.
IS 257 Spring 2004 2004.01.20 - SLIDE 4
Assignments
Two kinds of assignments
Using a pre-built database for search and retrieval and database modification queries Designing, populating, and running queries against your own personal database
Types of database project
Individual Work related Course only Projects from around campus that need doing Group Course related SIMS Final project

What is a Database?
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 9
Files and Databases
File: A collection of records or documents dealing with one organization, person, area or subject. (Rowley)
Manual (paper) files Computer files
Database: A collection of similar records with relationships between the records. (Rowley)
bibliographic, statistical, business data, images, etc.
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 10
Database
A Database is a collection of stored operational data used by the application systems of some particular enterprise. (C.J. Date)
Paper Databases
Still contain a large portion of the worlds knowledge
File-Based Data Processing Systems
Early batch processing of (primarily) business data
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 11
Terms and Concepts
Database Management System -- DBMS
Software system used to define, create, maintain and provide controlled access to the database and repository
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 12
Terms and Concepts
Repository
AKA Data Dictionary The place where all metadata for a particular database is stored may also include information on relationships between files or tables in a particular database
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 13
Terms and Concepts
Metadata
Data about data
In DBMS means all of the characteristics describing the attributes of an entity, E.G.:
name of attribute data type of attribute size of the attribute format or special characteristics
Characteristics of files or relations
name, content, notes, etc.
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 14
Why DBMS?
History
50s and 60s all applications were custom built for particular needs File based Many similar/duplicative applications dealing with collections of business data Early DBMS were extensions of programming languages 1970 - E.F. Codd and the Relational Model 1979 - Ashton-Tate & first Microcomputer DBMS

From File Systems to DBMS
Problems with File Processing systems
Inconsistent Data Inflexibility Limited Data Sharing Poor enforcement of standards Excessive program maintenance
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 17
DBMS Benefits
Minimal Data Redundancy Consistency of Data Integration of Data Sharing of Data Ease of Application Development Uniform Security, Privacy, and Integrity Controls Data Accessibility and Responsiveness Data Independence Reduced Program Maintenance
IS 257 Spring 2004
2004.01.20 - SLIDE 18
Terms and Concepts
Data Independence
Physical representation and location of data and the use of that data are separated
The application doesnt need to know how or where the database has stored the data, but just how to ask for it. Moving a database from one DBMS to another should not have a material effect on application program Recoding, adding fields, etc. in the database should not affect applications
