10. 1.1 What is a Database System? Scenario: You are a book shop owner. Readers buy books from you; Readers can order books from you; Readers can rent books from you. Needs if a book (how many copies) is available? Which book has this reader rented? If it is overdue? Which book has this reader ordered? When will a ordered book become available?

11. 1.1 What is a Database System? 1. What Information do you need to for managing your book shop? 2. What management activities are involved? 3. How to design a computer system to help the staff to manage all the activities?

12. 1.1 What is a Database System? 1. Information needed: Books (authors, title, price); Readers (name, address, telephone, ordered book, books rent) Books in shop; Books on order;

13. 1.1 What is a Database System? 2. Management activities 1) To check the availability of a book; 2) If this book is on order? 3) How many book has a reader rent? 4) If there is any book overdue? 5) The charge to rent or buy a book 6) ……

15. 1.2 How to implement the Database Management Interaction between Data and Programs DataProgramUser

16. 1.3 Conventional Approach File-oriented: Data: represented in a convenient form. Database, BEA, 2000.5, 12.5 Jave, EFH, 2001.2, 16.5 ………… Need to design the data files for a specific activity; Database does not exist as a single structure, Database is distributed across a number of files.

17. 1.3 Conventional Approach Programs are central, need to know: how the files are organized? how records may be accessed, and the meaning of data? As a result, Expensive to develop/maintain the system Difficult in Manage Data. DB1 Program DB2 DB3DB4

18. 1.4 Database Approach Database-oriented: Data: represented in table form. Database is central – designed and managed in its own right, by Database administrator (DBA). Programs are designed around the database. Book_TitleAuthorsPublished datePrice DatabasesBEA2000.512.35 JavaEFH2001.216.50

19. 1.5 What is a Database Database management system (DBMS): a type of computer program, which is used to manage data stored on a computer; DBMS aims to enable other programs and users to make use of that data. User1 Database User2 User3 User4

20. 1.5 What is a Database Relational DBMS - (RDBMS) one of the wide used and the easies to operate database systems. Relational data model – the basis of RDBMS.

21. 1.5 What is a Database Relational DBMS - RDBMS: theoretical foundation – relational model. Logical data structure - Table.  a table has a name and is made up of named columns of data. Each row contains one value per column. Warehouse_NoLocation WH1Leeds WH2Bradford

23. Database 1.6 Advantage and Cost of a Database Approach Program ????? ?!?!

24. Database 1.6 Advantage and Cost of a Database Approach Advantages: 1) without affecting the users. Database may be tuned; Database can be updated; 2) Data may be shared by many applications/users; 3) Greater security and integrity: the data is collected together, the data is managed by database administrator (DBA)

25. Database 1.6 Advantage and Cost of a Database Approach 4) Greater productivity - easier and faster to create applications programs - NO need to include details of how the data are physically stored; - NOT necessary to change applications programs when the database is changed; - NO need to be re-store the data for new applications.

26. 1.6 Advantage and Cost of a Database Approach Costs: 1) requires more hardware resources - a minimum requirement in order to run the DBMS. 2) additional software is required to support the database approach - need extend programming languages. 3) Cost of employing DBA team.
