What is Data?
Data can be facts related to any object in consideration.
For example,
Name of person, age, height, weight, etc. are some data
related to person.
A picture, image, file, pdf, etc. can also be considered data.
What is Database?
• A database is an systematic collection of data, so that it can be
easily accessed and managed.
• The main purpose of the database is to operate a large amount
of information by storing, retrieving, and managing data.
Example:
1. An online telephone directory uses a database to store data
of people, phone numbers, and other contact details.
2. Electricity service provider uses a database to manage billing,
client-related issues, handle fault data, etc.
Types of Databases
1. Centralized database:
2. Distributed databases:
Characteristics of databases
Data Abstraction
It is the lowest level of abstraction for DBMS which defines how the
data is actually stored, it defines data-structures to store data and
access methods used by the database. Actually, it is decided by
developers or database application programmers how to store the
data in the database.
So, overall, the entire database is described in this level that is
physical or internal level. It is a very complex level to understand.
It is the highest level. In view level, there are different levels of views
and every view only defines a part of the entire data. It also simplifies
interaction with the user and it provides many views or multiple views
of the same database.
View level can be used by all users (all levels' users). This level is
the least complex and easy to understand.
For example, a user can interact with a system using GUI that is view
level and can enter details at GUI or screen and the user does not
know how data is stored and what data is stored, this detail is hidden
from the user.

• Application DBA –
They particularly manages all requirements of
application components that interact with
database and accomplish activities such as
application installation and coordinating,
application upgrades, database cloning, data
load process management, etc.
• Architect –
They are held responsible for designing schemas
like building tables. They work to build structure
that meets organization needs. The design is
further used by developers and development
DBAs to design and implement real application.
• Decides hardware –
They decides economical hardware, based upon cost,
performance and efficiency of hardware, and best suits
organization. It is hardware which is interface between end
users and database.
• Database design –
DBA is held responsible and accountable for database design
,integrity and security control.
