Study Notes
Database Management System (DBMS) Architecture
- A DBMS provides an environment to efficiently manage databases.
- The system's components interact with each other.
Components of DBMS
-
Database Engine:
- Core of the DBMS, responsible for data storage, retrieval, and updates.
- Executes SQL queries and manages database transactions.
- Ensures efficient data processing and access.
-
Query Processor:
- Translates user queries (typically SQL) into instructions understood by the database engine.
- Breaks down complex queries into simpler instructions.
- Sub-components:
- DML Compiler: Compiles Data Manipulation Language queries.
- Query Optimizer: Improves query execution efficiency.
-
Transaction Manager:
- Manages transactions, ensuring they follow ACID properties:
- Atomicity: Transactions either complete or fully rollback.
- Consistency: Transactions maintain data integrity.
- Isolation: Concurrent transactions do not affect each other.
- Durability: Committed changes persist even if system fails.
- Manages transactions, ensuring they follow ACID properties:
-
Storage Manager:
- Manages how data is stored on physical media (disk, etc.).
- Organizes files, tables, and indexes for efficient data retrieval.
- Handles memory management and data caching.
-
Authorization and Integrity Manager:
- Controls user access to the database.
- Ensures only authorized users perform specific operations.
- Enforces integrity constraints for data accuracy.
User Integration with DBMS
- End users (casual, naive, sophisticated) and data analysts interact with the DBMS through user interfaces.
- Application layer handles business logic, optimized queries, and transactions.
- Database administrators and architects manage storage, performance, and data integrity.
Integrity Constraints
- Examples include primary keys, foreign keys, and check constraints.
