Normalized bubble chart • View Integration • Techniques are available for integrating bubble charts representing individual user views into a composite logical schema of all data items contained in the various views. • Detailed description of view integration using bubble charts was given by Martin 1983. • The integrated view of the participant’s bubble chart and the instructor’s bubble chart is shown on next slide

Bubble Chart integrating the instructor’s view and the course promoter’s view If these were the only two views in the module, then this would be one form of logical schema for the database, because it contains all data elements and relationships necessary to support the user view in the module. Furthermore, all necessary redundancies have been eliminated. This is the minimal set of data elements and relationships necessary to support the individual user views.
Elements of Database Systems • Physical design: • The last step of the database design process is physical design. • Physical design involves • converting the software schema into a form implementable with the organization’s particular hardware, operating system and database management system • Designing navigation path • Deciding which records to place in nearby portions of the storage devices • Determining the size of physical records on storage devices but buffer areas in main memory to hold records • Implementing integrity and security requirements.
Other database Techniques & Procedures • It includes procedures for • Analysing • Implementing • And operating system • Designing and documenting program • Training users
Databases • Databases are • Integrated • Shared collections of files • Stored on these devices of the organizations computer system • The way the data is organized and stored on these devices is referred to as its physical organization • In terms of logical organization. There are many different ways that databases can be organized
Software • There are three different kinds of software involved in most database systems • Database management packages • Operating system • Applications program • Most DBM packages use the basic access methods of the host operating system to perform the necessary input-output operations on the data files themselves
Database Management Systems • The minimum components of a package that could truly be called a DBMS are • Data dictionary • Data definition language • Query languages • Data manipulation language • Report generator language • Features to support data integrity • Security, privacy, recovery
Database Management System • Data Dictionary • Is used to maintain standard definitions of all data items within the scope of the DB system • The purpose of DD is to enforce standard definitions of the data resources of the organization. • Definition includes a precise description of the meaning of a data item name and a precise description of how values of each data item are stored in the computer system.
Database Management System • Data Dictionary • Functions of DD • Maintaining standard user definitions of the precise meaning of data items and data types • Maintaining cross reference list of data items used • Providing standard definitions of data items to applications programs • Examples • Name structure • Last name datatype is text and size is 15 characters • First name dtatype is text and size is 10 characters • Address copy from • Dept code data type is unsigned numeric size is 3 dig
Database Management Systems • Data Definition Languages • Is used to translate the logical schema into a software schema for the DBM package in use • Defined by CODASYL committee • Two languages were defined • DDL • SQL
Database Management systems • Query Languages • SQL • Fourth Generation languages • Binary • Assembly • COBOL • FORTRAN • PASCAL
