Study Notes

Handling Database

Database Management Systems (DBMS)

  • A software system that allows defining, creating, and managing databases
  • Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle

Database Types

  • Relational Database: Organizes data into one or more tables with rows and columns
  • NoSQL Database: Stores data in a variety of formats, such as key-value, document, or graph
  • Cloud Database: A database that runs on a cloud computing platform

Database Operations

  • Create: Define the structure of a database, including tables, fields, and relationships
  • Read: Retrieve data from a database
  • Update: Modify existing data in a database
  • Delete: Remove data from a database

SQL (Structured Query Language)

  • A standard language for managing relational databases
  • Used for creating, modifying, and querying databases
  • Examples of SQL commands:
    • SELECT: Retrieves data from a database
    • INSERT: Adds new data to a database
    • UPDATE: Modifies existing data in a database
    • DELETE: Deletes data from a database

Database Normalization

  • A process of organizing data to minimize data redundancy and improve data integrity
  • Involves dividing a database into smaller, related tables
  • Normalization rules:
    1. First Normal Form (1NF): Each table cell must contain a single value
    2. Second Normal Form (2NF): Each non-key attribute in a table must depend on the entire primary key
    3. Third Normal Form (3NF): If a table is in 2NF, and a non-key attribute depends on another non-key attribute, then it should be moved to a separate table

Data Modeling

  • A process of creating a conceptual representation of a database
  • Involves identifying entities, attributes, and relationships
  • Data modeling techniques:
    • Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagrams: A visual representation of a database
    • Unified Modeling Language (UML): A standardized language for modeling software systems
