8. File Processing Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

9. File Processing • Files consist of related records. • Records consist of related fields. • Fields consist of related characters. • Files must contain a key field – a field where each record’s occurrence is unique. Powered by DeSiaMore

10. File Organization • A file can be organized in secondary storage as a: • Sequential file – records are organized one after the other and each record must be scanned to until the desired record is located. • Direct or Random file – records are not necessarily stored in sequence and can be accessed directly. Powered by DeSiaMore

11. File Organization (cont’d.) • A file can be organized in secondary storage as a: • Indexed file – records are stored in one file and the organization of those records is stored in a second file. To use an indexed file both files, the data file and the index file, must be used together. Powered by DeSiaMore

12. File Management • Managing data files requires that the data be kept up to date. To do so requires: • Modifying, or updating, records involves • Adding records • Deleting records • Changing records • Data Validation – ensuring the data is accurate and secure. Powered by DeSiaMore

13. Advantages and Disadvantages of File Processing • Advantages • Simple to use. • Disadvantages • Processing data in more than one related file. • Difficult to access data from more than one file at a time. • Dependency between programs and data. Powered by DeSiaMore

14. Database Processing Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

15. Database Processing • To overcome some of the disadvantages of file processing, database processing is used instead. • The database software is called a DataBase Management System (DBMS). • A database is a collection of data and relationships between data stored in secondary storage. Powered by DeSiaMore

16. Advantages and Disadvantages of Database Processing • Advantages • Duplication of data is reduced. • Easier to process different groups of data. • Not dependent on the organization of data in the database. • Disadvantages • Expensive. • More vulnerable than file processing. • Can be complex to develop.

17. Database Organization Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

18. Data Relationships • One-to-one relationship • One group of data is related on only one other group of data. • One-to-many relationship • One group of data is related to one or more other groups of data. • Many-to-many relationship • One or more groups of data is related to one or more other groups of data.

19. Types of Databases • Hierarchical database • Network database • Relational database • Object-oriented database • Object-relational database Powered by DeSiaMore

22. Using Database Software Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

23. Using Database Software • Query languages – allows a user to query a database. • SQL is a widely used query language. • Query-By-Example (QBE) – is a graphical approach to query languages. • A host language is a programming language for writing application programs containing commands from a query language.

24. Database Use in Information Systems Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

25. Types of Databases • Personal databases are generally used by only one person. • Shared databases are used by many users at one time. • To prevent users from processing data they do not need, the database is divided into views. Powered by DeSiaMore

26. Data Warehouses Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

27. Data Warehouses • A data warehouse is a collection of data drawn from other databases used by the business. • A data mart represents the specific data from a data warehouse which a user needs. • Data mining is the technique of searching for patterns in the data. Powered by DeSiaMore

28. Multidimensional Databases Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

29. Multidimensional Databases • A multidimensional database presents the data to the user in several dimensions. A three dimensional database might present the information by • Sales Region • Season • Product Line Powered by DeSiaMore

30. On-Line Analytical Processing • On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) permits users to “slice and dice” large amounts of data in databases, data warehouses, and multidimensional databases using a variety of techniques, including statistical techniques. Powered by DeSiaMore

31. Database Administration Information System Data Management Powered by DeSiaMore

32. Database Administration • An organization with large databases often has a Database Administrator (DBA) who is responsible for managing the organization’s database. • The DBA designs the databases based on the needs of the users. Powered by DeSiaMore
