Study Notes
Introduction to Data Bases
- A database is organized data, stored using applications like spreadsheets.
- Databases are composed of tables, each with rows and columns.
- Tables can be linked together based on relationships.
- A table's primary key is a unique identifier, ensuring no duplication.
Example Table
- Shown in the slides is an example table, with columns for ID, First Name, Last Name, Address, City, and Age.
- Each row represents a unique record.
- The ID column acts as the primary key.
Data Base Management System (DBMS)
- DBMS acts a mediator between users and the database.
- Different programs, such as MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, and PostgreSQL are used to interact with and manage databases.
- User interact with DBMS interface to efficiently fulfill their requirements.
Popular DBMS Programs
- MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite and PostgreSQL are shown as highly utilized systems.
- MongoDB, Oracle, Redis, and Cassandra are also mentioned, though less frequently utilized.
Table Structure
- Tables consist of fields, which represent the columns, and records, which are the rows.
- Each field is given a name, for example, Student ID, Forename, Surname, Date of Birth.
- Records within tables contain data for each field, so a record consists of a specific value for each field, for example, Philip, Barker, 07/11/1995.
