Study Notes
Overview of Advanced Database Systems
- Introduction provided by Dr. Shaheera Rashwan.
- Covers essential concepts, historical context, challenges in RDBMS, and aspects of advanced data models.
Basic Terms in Database Systems
- Data Model: Abstract representation of how data is organized, including programming languages and schemas.
- Database Model: Specification of how data is structured and utilized within a database system.
- Database Management System (DBMS): Software suite managing database operations requested by multiple clients.
Examples of Data Models
- Java Data Model: Structures data as objects with attributes and methods.
- Relational Data Model: Organizes data in tables consisting of tuples with attributes and keys.
- ER Model: Describes data as instances of entity types and their relationships.
Database Models Types
- Hierarchical Model: Data structured in tree formats.
- Network Model: Data organized in arbitrary networks, developed by Charles Bachman.
- Relational Model: Proposed by Edgar F. Codd, foundational for DBMS.
- Object-Relational and Object-Oriented Models: Integrate object-oriented principles with databases.
Database System Characteristics
- Database (DB): Organized collection of data.
- Database System (DBS): Concrete application instance operated by a DBMS.
- Modern DBMS examples include Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server with capabilities for multi-dimensional and multimedia data.
Real-World Database Systems
- EBay: Manages items, users, and activities across multiple servers.
- Walmart Data Warehouse: Analyzes customer behavior in supermarkets.
- University Student Database: Maintains student registrations and records.
Conceptual Models in Database Design
- Conceptual Model: High-level data model used in the initial design stages, often represented graphically.
- Entity-Relationship Model (ER): Commonly used for relational database design.
- Unified Modeling Language (UML): Emerging in database design alongside application design.
Database Design Process Steps
- Requirements Analysis
- Conceptual Design: Creation of a high-level schema.
- Logical Design: Detailed schema preparation for implementation.
- Physical Design: Actual database creation and implementation.
Database Schema Types
- Conceptual Database Schema: High-level description independent of implementation.
- Logical Database Schema: Detailed structure expressed with database model constructs.
Examples of Conceptual and Logical Schemas
- Conceptual Schema includes Employee, Department, and Project attributes and relationships.
- Logical Schema articulates detailed attributes for each entity, defining data types and relationships.
Database Models and Standards
- Major database models: Hierarchical, Network, Relational, Object-Relational, Object-Oriented.
- Conceptual Models: Entity-Relationship and Semantic Data Models.
- Standards include ODMG and SQL for querying databases.
Historical Context of Database Models
- Hierarchical Model: First model developed in the late 1950s, organizes data in a tree-like structure, influential in XML.
- Network Model: Established in the late 1960s, allowed for more complex relationships than hierarchical structures.
- Relational Model: Developed in 1970s, serves as foundational model for modern databases, promoting data integrity and relationships.
