elements of a computer based information system is the database. A database is a collection of records or information that is stored in a computer in a structured manner so that information can be stored‚ managed‚ and retrieved. Databases are very useful for manipulating large amounts of data and producing reports and documents. This paper takes a look at the Oracle database system and its usage within my organization. The main objective of a database is to help an organization accomplish its goals

Database Environment Paper DBM-380 November 18‚ 2012 Introduction A database defines a structure for storing information and it collects information that is organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of data. A database can also be thought of as an electronic filing system. Data and information are extracted from a database by creating a query and then submitting it to the query database management system (DBMS) and it is posed in a language that

Relational Database Design By Paul Litwin This paper was part of a presentation at a Microsoft TechEd conference in the mid-1990s. It was adapted from Microsoft Access 2 Developer’s Handbook‚ Sybex 1994‚ by Ken Getz‚ Paul Litwin and Greg Reddick. Reprinted with permission of the publisher. While the paper uses Microsoft Access (version 2) for the examples‚ the vast majority of the discussion applies to any database and holds up pretty well over 11 years after it was written.

Database Project #1: Grocery Store Database DatabaseName: GroupStoreProject Project Description Today‚ there are many grocery store and grocery list apps on the market. Our task was to exercise our creativity and create a relational database to support a grocery list website for a corresponding application. First‚ we created the data model containing entities named Category‚ Chain‚ List‚ List_Item‚ Product‚ Section‚ Shelf‚ Shelf_Inventory‚ Shopper‚ Shopper_List‚ Store‚ and Store_Inventory.

FILE OPERATIONS File can be thought of as “logical” or a “physical” entity. File as a logical entity: a sequence of records. Records are either fixed size or variable size. A file as a physical entity: a sequence of fixed size blocks (on the disk)‚ but not necessarily physically contiguous (the blocks could be dispersed). Blocks in a file are either physically contiguous or not‚ but the following is generally simple to do (for the file system): »Find the first block »Find the last block »Find

Database Design Paper “A database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system. In order for a database to be truly functional‚ it must not only store large amounts of records well‚ but be accessed easily. In addition‚ new information and changes should also be fairly easy to input.” (tech-faq.com); to ensure usefulness over the long-term‚ databases should be built with high data integrity and the ability to recover data if the hardware fails. Information that

A relationship is an important component of a relational database. A relationship exists between two tables when one or more key fields from one table are matched to one or more key fields in another table. The fields in both tables usually have the same name‚ data type‚ and size. It also helps to further refine table structures and minimize redundant data. The purpose of a query is to retrieve information from a table or tables‚ which can be based on some type of criteria. To put it simply‚ a query

Normalization A logical design method which minimizes data redundancy and reduces design flaws. Consists of applying various “normal” forms to the database design. The normal forms break down large tables into smaller subsets. First Normal Form (1NF) Each attribute must be atomic • No repeating columns within a row. • No multi-valued columns. 1NF simplifies attributes • Queries become easier.
