1.2 What is a Database System ? (cont.) • Four components: 1) data ⇒ integrated & shared (See Fig. 1.5) 2) hardware ⇒ the second storage volumes, the processors, & main memory 3) software ⇒ database management system (DBMS) 4) users ⇒ application programmers, end users, & database administrator (DBA) Advanced Database System

Centralized control of data Data administration (manager) Database administration (technician) Benefits of the database approach The data can be shared Redundancy can be reduced Inconsistency can be avoided Transaction support can be provided Integrity can be maintained Security can be enforced Conflicting requirements can be balanced Standards can be enforced 1.4 Why Database ? Advanced Database System
1.5 Data Independence • The immunity of applications to change in physical representation and access technique • Stored field, stored record, stored file (See Fig. 1.7) Advanced Database System
The oldest systems: Inverted list Hierarchic Network Relation systems: DB2, Ingres II, Informix Dynamic Server, Microsoft SQL server, Oracle 9i, Sybase Adaptive Server (See Fig. 1.8) Object systems: GemStone, Versant ODBMS 1.6 Relational Systems and Others Advanced Database System
