Introduction to Database Management System(DBMS)
Data in DBMS:
- Data is raw facts or unprocessed values.
- it can be in the form of numbers, characters, symbols, images, graphics, etc.
- Data is input given by the computer by the users.
- It is meaningless on its own.
- example : 10061995 - Just a number (we don't know what it means).
Information in DBMS:
- Process data us called information.
- It is meaningful and useful.
- information can be reproduced again and again.
- example: 10061995- If we know it's someone's date of birth, it becomes meaningful information.
What is Database?
A database is a file that is used to store a collection of organized data which can be easily accessed, managed, and updated.
Key points:
- Database stores data in a structured form (like tables).
- It helps in quick retrieval and processing of data.
- Data in a database can be added, deleted, modified, and searched easily.
- Example: A school database may store: (Student names, Roll numbers, Marks and Addresses).
- A library database stores(Book names, Author names, and Borrower's details).
Area | What is stored |
---|---|
Hospital | Patient records |
Bank | Account details, transactions |
Railway | Train schedules, passengers bookings |
What is DBMS?
- A Database Management System(DBMS) is a software that helps to store, manage, retrieve, and manipulate data in a database.
- It provides an easy and efficient way to create, update, and access the data.
- example of DBMS: (MySQL, MS-Access, Libre office base, Oracle, etc.)
Advantages of using DBMS:
1. Organization Powerhouse:
- DBMS helps organize data properly, replacing messy spreadsheets and repeated information.
- Ensures every piece of data is in its correct place.
- example: Jaise ki ek proper register bana lena jisme sab kuch clearly likha ho.
2. Efficiency Champion :
- DBMS works like a fast search engine.
- It helps find specific data quickly(e.g., student marks, customer records).
- Saves time and effort in searching data.
- Jaise Google search engine- ekdum fast result deta hai.
3. Security Guardian:
- DBMS ensures strong data security.
- Only authorized users can view, edit, or delete data.
- Protects sensitive information.
- Jaise password protect system.
4. Integrity Enforcer:
- Maintain data accuracy by enforcing, rules and constraints.
- Prevent data errors and inconsistencies.
- example : Jaise form fill karte waqt kuch fields compulsory hote hain.
5. Sharing Made Simple:
- Allow multiple users to access and update data at the same time with the most current information.
- example : Jaise Google docs ko ek saath kai log edit karte hain.
6. Scalability Superhero
- Can handle growing data needs easily.
- Allows adding more users and data without affecting performance.
- Jaise mobile app jisme aage chalke aur log judte hain, fir bhi smoothly chalta hai.
7. Backup and Recovery Saviour:
- Provides backup and recovery options.
- Protect valuable data from accidental loss or unforeseen events.
8. Advanced Analysis Allay:
- Supports complex data analysis and reporting.
- Helps extract useful insights from data for decision-making.
