 Overview of Database System

A Database system is an overall collection of different database software components and

databases containing the following parts.

 Database application programs

 Front-end components
Database management system
 Databases.

Note:

 Database application programs and Front-end component used to manage

and query data within the database.
 Data management system is to manage data stored in a database.

Database system must provide the following feature.

 Variety of user interface

 Physical data independence
 Logical data independence
 Query optimization
 Data integrity
 Concurrency control
 Backup and recovery
 Security and authorization.

 Relational Database Systems (RDBMS) - Concept

 A database system is computer-based record keeping system that stores

information deemed to be of significance to the organization the system is
serving.

 Database Design

Database design is a very important phase in the database life cycle, which precedes all
other phases except the requirements collection and the analysis.

Normalizing the Data:

 Normalization is the process of organizing the data into related tables.

 Rules are established for the normalization of data. These rules are known as First,
Second, and Third normal Forms.

First Normal Form : Column cannot contain multiple values

Second Normal Form : Every non-key column must depend on the entire
key and not just a part of the primary key
Third Normal Form : All non-key columns must not depend on any other
non-key columns.

 ER Model - The Basis of Database Design

• ER model is used to explain various concepts involved in

planning and organizing a database.
• It is one of the data modeling tools involved in producing a
fully normalized database.

Components of ER Model

•Entities
•Attributes
•Relationships
