Study Notes
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
- A database (DB) is an organized collection of data, designed to be easily accessed, managed, and updated.
- Database management systems (DBMS) are software applications that manage databases and allow users to interact with them.
- DBMS act as an interface between users and databases. Users can use queries to access and modify data stored within a database.
SQL
- SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard language for managing and manipulating data in relational databases
- It is a declarative language, which means that users specify what data they want, without needing to specify the exact steps to obtain the data
- SQL commands are grouped in Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), and Data Control Language (DCL)
- SQL is used for many operations such as creating, altering, and deleting tables and database objects; inserting, updating, and deleting data; and controlling user access to the database.
- SQL data types include numbers, text, dates, and others.
Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS)
- RDBMS are a type of DBMS that use a relational model for organizing data.
- The fundamental concept in a relational database is a table, which consists of rows and columns.
- Common features of RDBMS include tables, columns, rows, primary keys, foreign keys, and relationships between various tables.
- Relationships between tables can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.
- Popular RDBMS include Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and others.
