Study Notes
-
Large databases require specialized database systems due to their size, complexity, and numerous users
-
Queries are requests to retrieve or change data in a database, and query languages are used to efficiently read and write data
-
Database applications simplify user experience and ensure data access is efficient and secure for users who are not familiar with query languages
-
Roles in database systems include: database administrator, database designer, database programmer, and database user
-
Database administrators ensure database security, availability, and user access, while database designers determine data formats and overall database structure
-
Database programmers write applications combining query languages and general-purpose programming languages
-
Database users request, update, or use stored data, typically accessing databases via applications
-
Database systems provide performance, authorization, security, rules enforcement, and recovery features
-
Performance ensures fast response times during simultaneous user access and large database queries
-
Authorization grants specific user access to data while protecting against unauthorized access
-
Security protects data from unauthorized access and hackers, and ensures consistent data rules
-
Rules ensure data consistency with structural and business rules, and synchronize data across different locations
-
Recovery restores the database to a consistent state in the event of failures, ensuring no data loss
-
Transaction processing ensures transactions are completed or rejected as a whole, preventing conflicts and ensuring transaction results are saved
-
Database system architecture consists of the query processor, storage manager, transaction manager, and log
-
The query processor interprets queries, optimizes queries, and returns results
-
The storage manager translates query processor instructions into file-system commands and uses indexes for quick data access
-
The transaction manager ensures transactions are executed properly and prevents conflicts
-
The log records all insert, update, and delete transactions, allowing for recovery in the event of failures.
