There are four different types of database-system users‚ differentiated by the way they expect to interact with the system. Different types of user interfaces have been designed for the different types of users. Naive users are unsophisticated users who interact with the system by invoking one of the application programs that have been written previously. For example‚ a bank teller who needs to transfer $50 from account A to account B invokes a program called transfer. This program asks the

Imagine that you have been hired to fulfill their need of enhancing the data repository for their current reservation processing system. Upon reviewing the system‚ you find that the data structure holds redundant data and that this structure lacks normalization. The database has the following characteristics:

DATABASE One of the technology terms that most people have become accustomed to hearing either at work or while surfing the Internet is the database. The database used to be an extremely technical term‚ however with the rise of computer systems and information technology throughout our culture‚ the database has become a household term. 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

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.

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.

NORMALIZATION OF DATABASE NORMALIZATION- is the process for evaluating and correcting table structures to minimize data redundancies‚ thereby‚ reducing the livelihood of data anomalies. The normalization process involves assigning attributes to tables based on the concept of determination. Normalization works through a series of stages called normal forms. 3 Stages of Normalization 1. 1NF or FIRST NORMALIZATION FORM 2. 2NF or SECOND NORMALIZATION FORM 3. 3NF or THIRED NORMALIZATION

Database Design Scenario Currently a school uses a non-computerised database system to store the following information about its students: roll class‚ surname‚ first name‚ guardian ’s name‚ address‚ student ’s date of birth‚ gender‚ sport house‚ emergency-contact telephone number‚ mailing name‚ list of subjects offered‚ and subjects in which the student is enrolled. The system takes up a large amount of space‚ has many duplicated entries some of these with mistakes and it is time consuming
Premium Database SQL Data modeling
Normalization Normalization is a method for organizing data elements in a database into tables. Normalization Avoids • Duplication of Data – The same data is listed in multiple lines of the database • Insert Anomaly – A record about an entity cannot be inserted into the table without first inserting information about another entity – Cannot enter a customer without a sales order • Delete Anomaly – A record cannot be deleted without deleting a record about a related entity.

Part 1 Background Chapter 1 Introduction to Databases 1.1 A database management system provides a number of facilities that will vary from system to system. Describe the type of facilities you might expect‚ especially those that aid the initial implementation of a database and its subsequent administration. Initially‚ the type of facilities expected should be described. These include: data storage and retrieval‚ concurrency control mechanism‚ authorization services‚ integrity mechanisms
