What is Data?
• From Dictionary :
Factual information (such as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for
reasoning, discussion, or calculation
• From Wikipedia :
Data are characteristics , usually numerical, that are collected through
observation. In a more technical sense, data is a set of values
of qualitative or quantitative variables about one or more persons or objects, while
a datum (singular of data) is a single value of a single variable.
• Example: Name, Address, Zip, SSN are characteristics or information about a
person.
Types of Data
• Unstructured-Data
• Structured – Information (interpreted data – data supplied with
semantics)
Structured and Unstructured Data
How do we store Data into Computers?.
• Data could be stored computers in File System and or Database
Management and or content management systems.
• Let us focus on File System and Database approaches . Each one has
its own advantages and disadvantages.
File System Vs Database System

File System Issues
• Redundancy of data: Data is said to be redundant if same data is copied at many places. If a student wants
to change Phone number, he has to get it updated at various sections. Similarly, old records must be deleted
from all sections representing that student.
• Inconsistency of Data: Data is said to be inconsistent if multiple copies of same data does not match with
each other. If Phone number is different in Accounts Section and Academics Section, it will be inconsistent.
Inconsistency may be because of typing errors or not updating all copies of same data.
• Difficult Data Access: A user should know the exact location of file to access data, so the process is very
cumbersome and tedious. If user wants to search student hostel allotment number of a student from 10000
unsorted students’ records, how difficult it can be.
• Unauthorized Access: File System may lead to unauthorized access to data. If a student gets access to file
having his marks, he can change it in unauthorized way.
• No Concurrent Access: The access of same data by multiple users at same time is known as concurrency. File
system does not allow concurrency as data can be accessed by only one user at a time.
• No Backup and Recovery: File system does not incorporate any backup and recovery of data if a file is lost or
corrupted.
What is Management?
• Generally Management refers create, Retrieve, update and delete.
• For example: Money Management refers earning the money, querying
money, distribute the money and spend the money.
What is Database?
• Database: Database is a collection of inter-related data which helps in efficient
retrieval, insertion and deletion of data from database and organizes the data in
the form of tables, views, schemas, reports etc. For Example, university
database organizes the data about students, faculty, and admin staff etc. which
helps in efficient retrieval, insertion and deletion of data from it.
• Now Database Management talks about
• Create Database
• Retrieve(View) database
• Update database
• Delete Database
What is DBMS?
• Database Management System: The software which is used to manage database is
called Database Management System (DBMS). For Example, MySQL, Oracle etc. are
popular commercial DBMS used in different applications. DBMS allows users the
following tasks:
• Data Definition: It helps in creation, modification and removal of definitions that define
the organization of data in database.
• Data Updation: It helps in insertion, modification and deletion of the actual data in the
database.
• Data Retrieval: It helps in retrieval of data from the database which can be used by
applications for various purposes.
• User Administration: It helps in registering and monitoring users, enforcing data
security, monitoring performance, maintaining data integrity, dealing with concurrency
control and recovering information corrupted by unexpected failure.
Database Languages
• A database system provides a data definition language to specify the
database schema and a data manipulation language to express
database queries and updates. In practice, the data definition and
data manipulation languages are not two separate languages; instead
they simply form parts of a single database language, such as the
widely used SQL language
Data Definition Language(DDL)
Data Manipulation Language(DML)
