  7. Local Databases • dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox, Microsoft Access

  8. Local Databases • dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox, Microsoft Access • No Database Management System

  9. Local Databases • dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox, Microsoft Access • No Database Management System • Minimal Setup and Configuration

  10. Local Databases • dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox, Microsoft Access • No Database Management System • Minimal Setup and Configuration • Low Cost

  11. Performance of Local Databases • Unable to perform under load

  12. Performance of Local Databases • Unable to perform under load • Unable to handle large datasets

  13. Performance of Local Databases

  14. Performance of Local Databases • Load limits: • About 10-20 users maximum

  15. Performance of Local Databases • Load limits: • About 10-20 users maximum • Dataset size limits: • About 100-500k records maximum and/or • About 1-5MB total size

  16. Performance of Local Databases • Load limits: • About 10-20 users maximum • Dataset size limits: • About 100-500k records maximum and/or • About 1-5MB total size • Cannot be improved with hardware

  17. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted

  18. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Corruption amplified under load • Memo fields sensitive to corruption

  19. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking

  20. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Relies on active connection to data • Not possible in client/server web applications

  21. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes

  22. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes • Indexes corrupt during modifications • …Corrupt indexes cause invalid data retrieval • …Invalid data retrieval damages data integrity

  23. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes • Concurrency

  24. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes • Concurrency • Multiple users can update same data • Concurrency problems do not generate errors

  25. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes • Concurrency • Transaction control

  26. Data Integrity and Local Databases • Easily corrupted • Pessimistic record locking • Unmanaged indexes • Concurrency • Transaction control • No simultaneous commit • No rollback capability

  27. Client/Server Databases • Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, etc.

  28. Client/Server Databases • Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, etc. • Database Management Systems (DBMS)

  29. Client/Server Databases • Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, etc. • Database Management Systems (DBMS) • More elaborate Setup and Configuration

  30. Client/Server Databases • Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, etc. • Database Management Systems (DBMS) • More elaborate Setup and Configuration • Higher Cost

  31. Performance in Client/Server Databases • Excellent performance under load

  32. Performance in Client/Server Databases • Excellent performance under load • Designed to handle large datasets

  33. Performance in Client/Server Databases

  34. Performance in Client/Server vs. Local Databases

  35. Performance in Client/Server Databases • Load limits: • Hundreds or Thousands of Users

  36. Performance in Client/Server Databases • Load limits: • Hundreds or Thousands of Users • Database size limits: • Millions of records • Size limited only by available storage

  37. Performance in Client/Server Databases • Load limits: • Hundreds or Thousands of Users • Database size limits: • Millions of records • Size limited only by available storage • Scaleable with hardware

  38. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management

  39. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Detects and corrects corruption dynamically • Prevents corruption automatically

  40. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Locks occur during updates • Manages record lock conflicts • Perfectly suited to web applications

  41. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Managed Indexes • Indexes created as needed • Automatic corruption detection and correction • Accurate data retrieval

  42. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Managed Indexes • Concurrency Control

  43. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Managed Indexes • Concurrency Control • Queues updates from multiple users • Concurrency problems generate errors • Invalid data not allowed into database

  44. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Managed Indexes • Concurrency Control • Transaction Control

  45. Data Integrity in Client/Server Databases • Corruption Management • Optimistic Record Locking • Managed Indexes • Concurrency Control • Transaction Control • Transaction Log tracks all changes by all users • Commits multiple changes simultaneously • Rollback for incomplete or inaccurate updates
