8 DATABASE Simply: structured collection of data
Storage: a collection of tables connecting to each other

9 DATABASE In computer science, a database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system so that a computer program or person using a query language can consult it to answer queries. The records retrieved in answer to queries are information that can be used to make decisions.

10 DATA Data is visualised form of some kind of knowledge. Representative property of somebody or something. From IT perspective: data is coded information, stored in a computer as a signal sequence. Has to be stored in a structured and processable form

11 DATA - examples PATIENT DATA: - name - birth date - address
- „TAJ” – patient code Phone book: - name - address - phone number

12 INFORMATION The Sesame Street character Cookie Monster describes information as "news or facts about something." Measure unit of information: bit: value can be 1 or 0 (true / false). Information is the result of processing, gathering, manipulating and organizing data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the receiver..

13 INFORMATION Why do we create databases? Storing and searching of data
Retrieval of new informations from stored data collections

14 DATA TYPES Basic property of data fields Defines:
a set of values structure of data allowable operations on those values Makes it possible, that in one column of a table only same type of data can be stored.

15 BASIC DATA TYPES Can not be divided to further separete parts

16 COUNTABLE DATA TYPE CLASSESS
NUMERIC Byte 0-255 8 bit Shortint (-128)-127 Integer (-32768)-32767 16 bit LOGICAL 1 or 0 1 bit CHARACTER Any characters 1 byte (8 bit)

17 REAL DATA TYPE CLASSESS Numeric real data types
(-2,9*10-39)-(1,7*1038) 48 bit Single (-1,5*10-45)-(3,4*1038) 32 bit Double (-5*10-324)-(1,7*10308) 64 bit Extended (-3,4* )-(1,1*104932) 80 bit Comp

18 DATA TYPE Choosing the correct data type:
Helps making your database more structured Eg.: a field containing birth dates should be DATE type. Helps validating your data: Eg.: DATE field can not contain a date like 31. february 2008. You can not enter a text into an INTEGER field

19

20 Data Types Binary Boolean Character Numeric Temporal
Database specific binary objects Pictures, digital signatures, etc. Boolean True/False values Character Fixed width or variable size Numeric Integer, Real (floating decimal point), Money Temporal Time, Date, Timestamp

21 SPREADSHEET <-> DATABASE
Spreadsheet (EXCEL table): structured. - search - order - filter Software: Eg.: MS-Excel

22 SPREADSHEET <-> DATABASE
„Excel database”: table with special layout: Rows of the table are connected with eachoter, containing the properties of one selected object. Columns: containing the same kind of property for each object. The table has a header in the first row.

23 SPREADSHEET <-> DATABASE
TAJ Name Address Birth date.: Phone number: Iv Béla Bp Palota utca 1 Könyves Kálmán IV. kerület Mély utca 3 1308.Jan.1 Harmadik András Székesfehérvár 8000 Fő út 4. (30) Dobzse László Bp Kis utca 3 1492.Március 2 Kalapos József Bp Nagy utca 1 30/04/1835

24 SPREADSHEET <-> DATABASE
Disadvantages of Spreadsheet The same data set can only be modified by one user at the same time Storage of data is not safe enough Structure of data and connections are not defined

25 SPREADSHEET <-> DATABASE
Disadvantages of Spreadsheet Logical limit: can not use multiple tables easiliy, as connections between tables can not be defined

32 DATABASE Data collection organized on the basis of a data model.
Contains: data Structure of data Connection rule descriptions

33 DATA MODEL A logical structure, defining the layou of the stored data.
Contains no data values. Only properties of data, structure and possible connections

34 DATA MODEL CONCEPTUAL DATA MODEL:
Analysis of the informations and connections between them. Independent from software tools PHYSICAL DATA MODEL: Structured used in the database:definition of tables, data types, connection Software dependent

37 Parts of a database Attributes (fields) Records Table Database
An attribute or field is a component of a record that describes something about an item. Records A record is the representation of an individual item. Table A collection of records Database A collection of tables and rules for accessing the tables

38 Parts of a database Record Tables Attribute/Field
Records become “rows” Attributes/fields become “columns” Rules determine the relationship between the tables and tie the data together to form a database

39 Referential Integrity
Rules to preserve relationships Prevents orphan records Cannot add records on many sides Cannot delete from one side Cascade update Cascade delete

40 NORMAL FORMS The normal forms (abbrev. NF) of relational database theory provide criteria for determining a table's degree of vulnerability to logical inconsistencies and anomalies. The higher the normal form applicable to a table, the less vulnerable it is to such inconsistencies and anomalies. Each table has a "highest normal form" (HNF): by definition, a table always meets the requirements of its HNF and of all normal forms lower than its HNF; also by definition, a table fails to meet the requirements of any normal form higher than its HNF. The normal forms are applicable to individual tables; to say that an entire database is in normal form n is to say that all of its tables are in normal form n.

41 Normalizing Dependencies between data are identified
Redundant data is minimized Reduces chances of data errors Reduces disk space The data model is flexible and easier to maintain

42 First Normal Form Contacts Eliminate repeating columns in each table
Create a separate table for each set of related data Identify each set of related data with a primary key Contacts Id Name Company Address Phone ZipCode 1 Joe ABC 123 5532 12345 2234 3211 2 Jane XYZ 456 3421 14454 3 Chris PDQ 789 2341 14423 6655 Benefits: Now we can have infinite phone numbers or company addresses for each contact. Drawback: Now we have to type in everything over and over again. This leads to inconsistency, redundancy and wasting space. Thus, the second normal form…

43 Second Normal Form People Id Name Company Address Zip 1 Joe ABC 123 12345 2 Jane XYZ 456 14454 3 Chris PDQ 789 14423 Create separate tables for sets of values that apply to multiple records Relate these tables with a “foreign key”. PhoneNumbers PhoneID Id Phone 1 5532 2 2234 3 3211 4 3421 5 2341 6 6655

44 Third Normal Form Eliminate fields that do not depend on the primary key. People Id Name AddressID 1 Joe 2 Jane 3 Chris PhoneNumbers PhoneID Id Phone 1 5532 2 2234 3 3211 4 3421 5 2341 6 6655 Address AddressID Company Zip 1 ABC 123 12345 2 XYZ 456 14454 3 PDQ 789 14423 Is this enough? Codd thought so… What about “many to many”?

45 Kinds of Relationships
“One to One” One row of a table matches exactly to another One person, one id number, one address “One to Many” One row of a table matches many of another One person, many phone numbers “Many to Many” One row may match many of another or many rows match one row of another

48 DATA MANAGEMENT LANGUAGE
SQL = Structured Query Language DDL – Data Definition (CREATE) DML – Data Manipulation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) QL – Query Language (SELECT)

49 TABLE TYPES Main (core) tables Subtables
Linking tables (association table) Dictionary tables (look-up table, value list)

50 DATABASE SERVER A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computers, as defined by the client-server model. The term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Database management systems frequently provide database server functionality, and some DBMS's (e.g., MySQL) rely exclusively on the client-server model for database access. Database Master servers are central and main locations of data while Database Slave servers are synchronized backups of the master acting as proxies.

51 DATABASE SERVER Special DBMS software
user interface is not an important aim Allows multi-user change access Controll of user rights Backup of stored data Transaction management

52 DATABASE SERVERS Oracle MS-SQL My-SQL PostgreSQL
