Study Notes
Database Administration and Security
- Data Administrator (DA) is a management role overseeing corporate data resources (computerized and manual).
- DAs determine database contents and boundaries.
- Database Administrator (DBA) maintains database environments, ensuring data security and successful operations.
- DBAs design, implement, maintain, and secure database structures.
Characteristics of Data Administrator & Database Administrator
- DA has a managerial role, focusing on business data needs. They analyze and define policies, naming conventions, and standards.
- DBA has a technical role, handling data volumes and enforcement of policies. They maintain databases and programming standards.
SQL Security Concepts
- Users: Individuals or programs interacting with database objects.
- Objects: Database elements like tables, columns, indexes, and views, defined by SQL standards.
- Privileges: User permissions to manipulate database objects (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE).
- Roles: Named collections of access privileges that allow users to connect and utilize system resources.
- GRANT: A command used to provide access privileges to users on specific database objects.
- REVOKE: A command used to remove user privileges for actions on database objects.
- There are fixed-database roles (predefined) and user-defined roles (customizable).
Transaction Log & Checkpoints
- Transaction log records database updates.
- Checkpoints remove log entries, storing them permanently.
- Convenient & safe backup storage is crucial for multiple backups in different locations.
Database Recovery
- Database recovery restores a database to a previous state.
- Human-caused incidents (unintentional or intentional) can harm data. (e.g. deleting wrong rows, pressing wrong keys, shutting down database system).
- Deferred update recovers by transaction operations not immediately updating the database.
NoSQL Database Concepts
- Volume: Large data quantity stored in a database (characteristic of big data).
- Velocity: Big data's high input rate and data processing speed.
- Variety: Data comes in various formats and structures.
- Key-value (KV) databases store data as key-value pairs.
- Graph databases utilize graph theory to represent data (nodes, edges, properties) useful for social media data (e.g. facebook, twitter, instagram).
MongoDB
- MongoDB is a cross-platform, open-source, document-oriented database providing high performance, availability, and ease of scaling.
- SQL and MongoDB comparisons: show how database types have different conceptual layouts (tables, columns, rows in SQL vs. databases, collections, documents in MongoDB).
