MD807: Relational Database Management Systems • Introduction • Course Goals & Schedule • Logistics • Syllabus Review • RDBMS Basics • RDBMS Role in Applications • RDBMS Functions
Course Goals • Database Management Concepts • Design, Capabilities, Limitations • Development Process • Detailed knowledge of SQL “API” • Managing Data • Manipulating Data • Strong Focus on Reporting • Database Application Development • Focus on procedures • Database-oriented web development
Logistics • Webpage: www2.bc.edu/~spang • Reference Material • Syllabus / Schedule • Access to the Oracle Software • Isqlplus.bc.edu • bcacad3 • Project • Grading • Labs
Syllabus / Sequence • Purpose / Need • Logical design • Physical design • Data Management • SQL Reporting • Procedure development • Data/Logic Security • Data Integrity and Protection • Web Application Environment
BC’s Oracle Software • Host Database • Oracle Release 9i tools • BCACAD1 Instance (Rel 8.1) • Userids/passwords • iSQLPlus on the web • SQLPlus “Thick” Client • Universal Oracle client • Available on BC network • SQLLoader • HTMLDB • Oracle 10 App Development tool
The DBMS in the Application Environment Web Server Disk Storage Client (Browser) browser “Jolt” “OS” DBMS Server Application Server SQLNet, ODBC,…
Application Development Environment Network Servers Operating System/Subsystems Common System Utilities Common Business Code Application Specific Code
DBMS Application Services • Physical Storage of Data • Metadata Repository • API/Language to manage • API/Language to /Use • Utilities and Services • Recovery, Performance • Usage Management • Sharing
DBMS Application Advantages • Single, consistent source of rules for accessing data • Shared access for users, processes • Insulation from data storage mechanics • Increased granularity of access • Integrity/recovery functions
The DBMS Server layers DBMS Storage DBMS Server Database Tablespace Table Tablespace Table Table Server Instance Schema Instance Schema Schema “Mounts”
DBMS Architecture • Disk Storage / File System • DBMS Application • Server • Instance • Schema • Logical Data Constructs • Tablespaces • Tables • Views • Clients • SQLNet Heavy Clients • Web Clients
DBMS Operations • Starting the Instance • Mounting the database • Opening the Database • Quiescing / Closing the Database
Data Integrity • Locking • Allows simultaneous use • Different levels available • Logging • Prevent partial updates • Recovery from failures • Constraints • Limits on acceptable entries • Discussed in detail later • Process
Locking Scenario • User A requests record 5 • User B requests record 5 • User A changes record 5 • User A commits changes • User B changes record 5 • User B commits changes
Data Security • Granularity • Filter records • Filter columns • Type of Access • E.g. read-only • Multiple levels • Database • Table • Function • Roles • Groups of privileges • Assignable to individuals
SQL API • Defines command syntax • Data Definition • Data Manipulation • Session Management • Open Standard • Extensions for each vendor
Utilities • Import / Export • SQLLOADER • Backup / Recovery • Administrative tools for DDL/DML • Operations Management • Gateways
Terminology Review • Database Server • Database Instance • Schema • Table-space • Table • View • Column, Row • Data type • Procedure • Set Processing
