Study Notes
Database Administration and Security
- Data Administrator (DA) is a management role overseeing corporate data resources (computerized and manual).
- Data Administrator (DA) defines the content and logical boundaries of a database.
- Database Administrator (DBA) maintains a successful database environment, ensuring data security.
- DBAs manage the design, implementation, maintenance, and security of database structures.
Characteristics of Data Administrator & Database Administrator
- DA has a managerial focus, analyzing and defining business data requirements, policies, and standards.
- DBA has a technical focus, handling database development, data volume analysis, and enforcing policies/standards.
SQL Security Concepts
- Users: represent people or programs interacting with database objects.
- Objects: are defined by SQL standards (tables, columns, indexes, views).
- Privileges: user rights to manipulate database objects (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE).
-
Roles: named collections of database access privileges that authorize user connections and resource use.
- GRANT: provides access or privileges on database objects to users.
- REVOKE: removes privileges from users or roles.
- fixed-database roles: predefined roles in the database.
- user-defined database roles: custom-created roles based on user preferences.
Database Backup and Recovery
- Transaction log: tracks all database updates.
- Checkpoint: removes previous log entries from the system, storing them permanently.
- Backup Storage: multiple, separate backups are crucial for data safety.
- Database Recovery: restores a database to a previous, consistent state.
-
Human Error:
- Unintentional failures: caused by user errors (e.g., incorrect row deletion, incorrect keyboard input).
- Intentional events: severe errors indicating potential risks to company data.
- Deferred update: transaction operations don't immediately update the database.
- Immediate update: database updates during transaction execution.
NoSQL Database Management Systems
- Volume: the total amount of stored data.
- Velocity: the rate at which data enters and is processed by the system.
- Variety: the range of data formats in a database.
- Key-Value (KV) databases: simplest NoSQL model storing data as key-value pairs.
- Graph databases: based on graph theory, representing data via nodes, edges, and properties.
MongoDB
- A document-oriented database that provides high performance, availability, automatic features, and easy scalability
- It's cross-platform and open-source.
- SQL and MongoDB data model differences:
- SQL: data stored in tables, columns, and rows.
- MongoDB: data stored in documents (databases, collections, fields).
