Study Notes
Static Index
- Used to retrieve data faster by reducing comparisons
- Data does not change frequently
- Optimizes query performance
- Reduces time to retrieve data
- Reduces number of rows
- Organized like a B-tree
Query Processing
- Processes queries from high level to lower level (parsing, validating, optimizing)
-
Parsing:
- Syntax check (ensuring correct structure)
- Semantic check (checking if statements function)
- Shared Pool check (checking if a hash code already exists)
-
Parse Tree:
- Tree-like grammatical structure
- Hierarchical structure
- Represents the query's grammar
- Used for syntax validation and visualization of the query structure
Translation, Optimization, and Evaluation
- Translation: Converts high-level queries into intermediate SQL queries
-
Optimization: Finds the most efficient way to execute a query, using:
- Heuristic optimization (using predefined rules)
- Cost-based optimization (considering CPU, RAM, disk usage)
-
Evaluation: Executes SQL queries, using:
- JOIN
- WHERE
- SELECT
- ORDER BY
DBMS Security
- Protects databases from unintentional outcomes
- Maintains confidentiality, integrity, and availability
-
Key Components:
- Authentication (verifies user)
- Authorization (grants permissions)
- Encryption (protects data)
- Auditing (tracks activity)
- Data Security: Protects data from unauthorized actions
-
How to Secure Data:
- Encryption (converting into code)
- Regular data backups (stored securely)
- Firewalls and intrusion detection systems (monitor network traffic)
Security Measures for DBMS
- Firewalls and Network Security: Prevents unauthorized access
- Data Encryption: Hides/encrypts data to protect against theft
- Role-Based Access Control: Assigns specific roles
- Regular Patching and Updates: Addresses vulnerabilities
- Backup Recovery: Prevents data loss
-
Encryption in Database Security:
- Symmetric encryption (same key for encryption and decryption)
- Asymmetric encryption (public key for encryption, private for decryption)
-
Auditing and Monitoring:
- Database auditing (logs access attempts and data changes)
- Monitoring tools (tracks activity)
-
Backup and Recovery Strategies:
- Full backups (complete copy of database)
- Incremental backups (changes since last backup)
