Database Development
Database – A database is an organized collection of data. For example:- In a stationary shop, detailed
records of the materials available in the shop is database. Similarly in a computerized system, we need to
maintain several files, we would used database programs such as Microsoft Access, OpenOffice.org Base,
and MySQL. These database programs are used to organize the data as per our needs in the computer
system.
Database Management System (DBMS) - A database management system is a software package with
computer programs that controls the creation, maintenance and use of a database. A DBMS allows different
user application programs to concurrently access the same database. Some of the DBMSs are Oracle, IBM
DB2, Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, MySQL, FoxPro and SQLite.
Database Servers – Database servers are dedicated computers that hold the actual databases and run only
the DBMS and related software. Databases on the database servers are accessed through command line or
graphic user interface tools referred to as Frontends; database servers are referred to as Back-ends. Such
type of data access is referred to as Client-server model.
RDBMS:- A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system that is
based on the relational model. In the relational model of a database, all data is represented in terms of tuples
(rows), grouped into relations (tables). A database organized in terms the relational model is a relational
database.
Database Concepts:- Database contains objects that are used for storing and managing information.
1. Item : - Item is about which information is stored in the database.
2. Field:- Each question that we ask about our item is a Field.
3. Record:- Record is a set of information (made up of fields) stored in your database about one of the
items.
4. Value:- Value is the actual text or numerical amount or date that you put in while adding information to
your database.
For example,
Database :- Employee
Emp_Cod Emp_Nam Emp_Addres Emp_Designatio Emp_ContactN Emp_Salar
e e s n o y
E001 ABC Meerut Manager 9876543210 Rs. 50,000
Item : Employee
Field : Emp_Code , Emp_Name , Emp_Address , Emp_Designation , Emp_ContactNo , Emp_Salary
Record :
E001 ABC Meerut Manager 9876543210 Rs. 50,000
Value : E001 , ABC , Meerut , Manager , 9876543210 , Rs. 50,000
5. Key Field :- Key Field is a value in a Field that uniquely identifies the record. Eg. E001 which is unique
to every employee.
Important Question :- How data is organized in a RDBMS ?
Ans :- In RDBMS, data is organized in the form of inter linked tables.
SESSION 2:- DATA STORAGE
TABLE :- A table is a set of data elements that is organized using a model of vertical columns and
horizontal rows. Each row is identified by a unique key index or the key field.
COLUMNS OR FIELD :- A column is a set of data values of a particular simple type, one for each row of
the table. For eg. Emp_Code , Emp_Name , Emp_Address etc.
ROWS OR RECORDS OR TUPLES :- A row represents a single, data items in a table. Each row in a
table represents a set of related data, and every row in the table has the same structure.
DATA TYPES :- Datatypes are used to identify the type of data we are going to store in the database.
Categories of data types:- Data types can be broadly classified into five categories:-
1. Numeric Types
2. Alphanumeric Types
3. Binary Types
4. Date Time
5. Other variable Types
NUMERIC TYPES:- They are used for describing numeric values like mobile number, age, etc.
ALPHANUMERIC TYPES:-
The list of different datatypes available in alphanumeric types are :-
1. LongVarChar (Memo) (Long Text)
2. Char (Text-fix) (Small Text)
3. VarChar (Text) (Text of specified Length)
4. VarChar_IgnoreCase (Text) (Comparisions are not case sensitive)
BINARY TYPES:-
Binary types are used for storing data in binary formats. It can be used for storing photos, music files or (in
general file of any format) etc.
The list of different datatypes available in Binary types are :-
1. LongVarBinary (Image)
2. Binary (Binary (fix) )
3. VarBinary (Binary)
DATE TIME:-
Date time data types are used for describing date and time values for the field used in the table of a database.
It can be used for storing information such as date of birth, date of admission etc.
The list of different data types available in Date Time type are :-
1. Date (Stores month, day and year information)
2. Time (Store hour , minute and second information)
3. Timestamp (Stores date and time information)
PRIMARY KEY:- A primary key is a unique value that identifies a row in a table. These keys are also
indexed in the database, making it faster for the database to search a record.
FOREIGN KEY:- The foreign key identifies a column or set of columns in one (referencing) table that
refers to a column or set of columns in another (referenced) table.
Note:- The “one” side of a relation is always the parent, and provides the PK(Primary Key) Attributes to be
copied. The “many” side of a relation is always the child, into which the FK(Foreign Key) attributes are
copied.
SESSION 3
MANIPULATING DATA
In a database we can define the structure of the data and manipulate the data using some commands.
Types of DML:-
1.Procedural:- The user specifies what data is needed and how to get it.
2. Non Procedural :- The user only specifies what data is needed.
Note:- A popular data manipulation language is SQL (Structured Query Language.)
