Study Notes
Database Models
- Hierarchical Data Model: Data is organized in a tree-like structure with a parent-child relationship. For example, a company's data might have "Personal Information" as the parent, with "Employee Name", "Salary", and "Designation" as children. Each child record can only have one parent.
- Network Data Model: Multiple records can link to the same master file, creating an inverted tree structure. The master is at the bottom, and branches contain information linked to it.
- Relational Data Model: The most common database model, based on relationships between tables. Data is organized into tables with rows and columns, and relationships are established through common fields.
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
- Proposed in 1970 by E.F.Codd.
- Stores data in tables: Data is organized into rows (records) and columns (fields or attributes).
- Relationships between tables: Relationships are established based on common fields, allowing data to be linked and managed efficiently.
RDBMS Objects
- Table: The basic unit of any DBMS, where data is stored in row and column format.
- Form: A user-friendly interface for entering data into a table. Forms can contain text boxes, labels, radio buttons, list boxes, and checkboxes.
- Query: Used to retrieve specific information from the database. Queries are essentially questions asked to the database.
- Report: A formatted presentation of query results, often organized into rows and columns with specific formatting.
Data Types in LibreOffice Base
- Text: Can contain alphanumeric characters, special characters, and spaces.
- Memo: Stores descriptive data, allowing for large amounts of text.
- Numeric: Stores numerical values, including integers, decimals, and currency.
- Date: Stores calendar dates.
- Time: Stores time data.
- Boolean: Represents two values, typically "true" or "false".
LibreOffice Base
- Free and open-source software: It's available for free and allows for customization and modification.
- Table Creation:
- Table Wizard: Provides a guided process for creating tables.
- Design View: Allows for manual creation of a table by defining its structure and fields.
- Database Window: The Database pane displays all related objects within the database.
Primary Key in RDBMS
- Every table should have a unique Primary Key.
- Primary Key values cannot be duplicated. This ensures that each record is uniquely identified within the table.
- **A Primary Key field can't be left blank. **
Relationships in RDBMS
- Relationships are established between tables using common fields.
- Types of Relationships:
- One-to-one: Each record in one table corresponds to exactly one record in another table.
- One-to-many: One record in the master table can have multiple corresponding records in the transaction table.
- Many-to-many: Multiple records in both tables can relate to each other.
- Referential Integrity: Ensures data consistency and prevents invalid data from being entered. It can be enforced through options like "No Action", "Set Null", "Set Default", and "Set Value".
Data Consistency and Redundancy
- Redundancy: Avoid repetition of the same data in different parts of the database. Excessive redundancy can lead to inconsistency and storage issues.
- Data Consistency: Aims to ensure that data is accurate, complete, and consistent across the database. This involves implementing rules, constraints, and validation checks to prevent errors.
