Study Notes

Data Base Revision Lecture

  • A database is simply organized data, often using applications like spreadsheets.
  • Databases are structured with tables, each containing rows (records) and columns (fields).
  • Tables within a database can be connected via relationships.
  • Data Management Systems (DBMS) facilitate efficient user interaction with the database, enabling operations like inserting, deleting, and updating data.
  • DBMS components include database applications, end users, and the database itself.
  • DBMS's enable efficient data access by users.
  • Tables have several components including field names (column headers), key fields, and specific data items within each record.
  • Database access methods may have vulnerabilities such as limited storage capacity or user restrictions.
  • Database relationships include one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many.
  • One-to-one relationships link data in one row to another row.
  • One-to-many relationships link data in one row to multiple rows.
  • Many-to-many relationships link multiple rows from one table to multiple rows in another.
  • Data manipulation in SQL includes commands like SELECT (retrieving data), INSERT (adding data), UPDATE (modifying data), and DELETE (removing data).
  • SQL filtering is done using the WHERE clause based on specific conditions.
  • Data sorting is done with the ORDER BY clause using ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
  • SQL querying facilitates data access from various tables.
  • SQL encompasses DQL (Data Query Language), DDL (Data Definition Language), and DML (Data Manipulation Language).
  • DQL retrieves data, including SELECT and SELECT DISTINCT statements.
  • DDL creates and manages database objects, including statements like CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CREATE TABLE.
  • DML manipulates data, including statements like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.
  • SQL data types include INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE, DATETIME, and BOOLEAN.
