System


Why do we need one?

Security
Integrity
Performance
Reliability
DATABASE

things.
A database is a logically coherent, organized collection of similar or
related data

Costumers Orders Products

Database: Collection of

APPLICATION 2
A database management system (DBMS) is
simply the software that permits an
organization to centralize data, manage
them efficiently, and provide access to the
stored data by application programs

an interface between application programs
and the physical data files
Reduction in Data Redundancy
Reduction in Data Inconsistency
Sharing of data
Enforcement of standards
Improvement in data security
Management of data integrity
Better interaction with users
Efficient system
Main inhibitor of using a DBMS:
High initial investment and possible need for
additional hardware.

When a DBMS may be unnecessary:
If the database and applications are simple, well
defined, and not expected to change.
If access to data by multiple users is not required.
Centralized Database
Used by single central processor or multiple
processors in client/server network

Distributed Database
Database stored in more than one physical
location
Partitioned database
Duplicated database

Why Microsoft SQL Server?
