    Study Notes

    Understanding Databases

    • A database is a structured collection of data that allows for easy access, management, and organization of information.
    • Databases can be used to store data for various applications, from websites to business management systems.

    Role of Database Management Systems (DBMS)

    • The primary goal of a DBMS is to facilitate the efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data while ensuring its integrity and security.
    • A DBMS provides an interface for users to interact with the database, often through a query language like SQL.

    Data vs. Information

    • Data refers to raw, unprocessed facts and figures that can be collected and stored.
    • Information is processed data that has been organized or structured to provide meaning and context.

    ER Model in Database Design

    • ER stands for Entity-Relationship in 'Database Design using ER Model'.
    • The ER model is a conceptual framework used to represent and design the relationships between data entities in a database.

    Purpose of Normalization

    • Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
    • It involves structuring a database in a way that ensures data dependencies are logical and that data anomalies are minimized.
