Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe CHAPTER 2 Database System Concepts and Architecture Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 1- 2 Outline ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Data Models and Their Categories History of Data Models Schemas, Instances, and States Three-Schema Architecture Data Independence DBMS Languages and Interfaces Database System Utilities and Tools Centralized and Client-Server Architectures Classification of DBMSs Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 3 Data Models ? Data Model: ? ? A set of concepts to describe the structure of a database, the operations for manipulating these structures, and certain constraints that the database should obey. Data Model Structure and Constraints: ? ? ? Constructs are used to define the database structure Constructs typically include elements (and their data types) as well as groups of elements (e.g. entity, record, table), and relationships among such groups Constraints specify some restrictions on valid data; these constraints must be enforced at all times Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 4 Data Models (continued) ? Data Model Operations: ? ? These operations are used for specifying database retrievals and updates by referring to the constructs of the data model. Operations on the data model may include basic model operations (e.g. generic insert, delete, update) and user-defined operations (e.g. compute_student_gpa, update_inventory) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 5 Categories of Data Models ? Conceptual (high-level, semantic) data models: ? Provide concepts that are close to the way many users perceive data. ? ? Physical (low-level, internal) data models: ? ? Provide concepts that describe details of how data is stored in the computer. These are usually specified in an ad-hoc manner through DBMS design and administration manuals Implementation (representational) data models: ? ? (Also called entity-based or object-based data models.) Provide concepts that fall between the above two, used by many commercial DBMS implementations (e.g. relational data models used in many commercial systems). Self-Describing Data Models: ? Combine the description of data with the data values. Examples include XML, key-value stores and some NOSQL systems. Slide 2- 6 Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Schemas versus Instances ? Database Schema: ? ? ? Schema Diagram: ? ? The description of a database. Includes descriptions of the database structure, data types, and the constraints on the database. An illustrative display of (most aspects of) a database schema. Schema Construct: ? A component of the schema or an object within the schema, e.g., STUDENT, COURSE. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 7 Schemas versus Instances ? Database State: ? ? The actual data stored in a database at a particular moment in time. This includes the collection of all the data in the database. Also called database instance (or occurrence or snapshot). ? The term instance is also applied to individual database components, e.g. record instance, table instance, entity instance Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 8 Database Schema vs. Database State ? Database State: ? ? Initial Database State: ? ? Refers to the content of a database at a moment in time. Refers to the database state when it is initially loaded into the system. Valid State: ? A state that satisfies the structure and constraints of the database. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 9 Database Schema vs. Database State (continued) ? Distinction ? ? ? ? The database schema changes very infrequently. The database state changes every time the database is updated. Schema is also called intension. State is also called extension. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 10 Example of a Database Schema Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 11 Example of a database state Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 12 Three-Schema Architecture ? Proposed to support DBMS characteristics of: ? ? ? Program-data independence. Support of multiple views of the data. Not explicitly used in commercial DBMS products, but has been useful in explaining database system organization Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 13 Three-Schema Architecture ? Defines DBMS schemas at three levels: ? Internal schema at the internal level to describe physical storage structures and access paths (e.g indexes). ? ? Conceptual schema at the conceptual level to describe the structure and constraints for the whole database for a community of users. ? ? Typically uses a physical data model. Uses a conceptual or an implementation data model. External schemas at the external level to describe the various user views. ? Usually uses the same data model as the conceptual schema. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 14 The three-schema architecture Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 15 Three-Schema Architecture ? Mappings among schema levels are needed to transform requests and data. ? ? Programs refer to an external schema, and are mapped by the DBMS to the internal schema for execution. Data extracted from the internal DBMS level is reformatted to match the user’s external view (e.g. formatting the results of an SQL query for display in a Web page) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 16 Data Independence ? Logical Data Independence: ? ? The capacity to change the conceptual schema without having to change the external schemas and their associated application programs. Physical Data Independence: ? ? The capacity to change the internal schema without having to change the conceptual schema. For example, the internal schema may be changed when certain file structures are reorganized or new indexes are created to improve database performance Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 17 Data Independence (continued) ? ? When a schema at a lower level is changed, only the mappings between this schema and higherlevel schemas need to be changed in a DBMS that fully supports data independence. The higher-level schemas themselves are unchanged. ? Hence, the application programs need not be changed since they refer to the external schemas. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 18 DBMS Languages ? ? Data Definition Language (DDL) Data Manipulation Language (DML) ? High-Level or Non-procedural Languages: These include the relational language SQL ? ? May be used in a standalone way or may be embedded in a programming language Low Level or Procedural Languages: ? These must be embedded in a programming language Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 19 DBMS Languages ? Data Definition Language (DDL): ? ? ? Used by the DBA and database designers to specify the conceptual schema of a database. In many DBMSs, the DDL is also used to define internal and external schemas (views). In some DBMSs, separate storage definition language (SDL) and view definition language (VDL) are used to define internal and external schemas. ? SDL is typically realized via DBMS commands provided to the DBA and database designers Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 20 DBMS Languages ? Data Manipulation Language (DML): ? ? Used to specify database retrievals and updates DML commands (data sublanguage) can be embedded in a general-purpose programming language (host language), such as COBOL, C, C++, or Java. ? ? A library of functions can also be provided to access the DBMS from a programming language Alternatively, stand-alone DML commands can be applied directly (called a query language). Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 21 Types of DML ? High Level or Non-procedural Language: ? ? ? ? For example, the SQL relational language Are “set”-oriented and specify what data to retrieve rather than how to retrieve it. Also called declarative languages. Low Level or Procedural Language: ? ? Retrieve data one record-at-a-time; Constructs such as looping are needed to retrieve multiple records, along with positioning pointers. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 22 DBMS Interfaces ? Stand-alone query language interfaces ? ? ? Programmer interfaces for embedding DML in programming languages User-friendly interfaces ? ? Example: Entering SQL queries at the DBMS interactive SQL interface (e.g. SQL*Plus in ORACLE) Menu-based, forms-based, graphics-based, etc. Mobile Interfaces:interfaces allowing users to perform transactions using mobile apps Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 23 DBMS Programming Language Interfaces ? Programmer interfaces for embedding DML in a programming languages: ? ? ? ? Embedded Approach: e.g embedded SQL (for C, C++, etc.), SQLJ (for Java) Procedure Call Approach: e.g. JDBC for Java, ODBC (Open Databse Connectivity) for other programming languages as API’s (application programming interfaces) Database Programming Language Approach: e.g. ORACLE has PL/SQL, a programming language based on SQL; language incorporates SQL and its data types as integral components Scripting Languages: PHP (client-side scripting) and Python (server-side scripting) are used to write database programs. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 24 User-Friendly DBMS Interfaces ? ? ? Menu-based (Web-based), popular for browsing on the web Forms-based, designed for naïve users used to filling in entries on a form Graphics-based ? ? ? ? Point and Click, Drag and Drop, etc. Specifying a query on a schema diagram Natural language: requests in written English Combinations of the above: ? For example, both menus and forms used extensively in Web database interfaces Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 25 Other DBMS Interfaces ? ? ? ? ? Natural language: free text as a query Speech : Input query and Output response Web Browser with keyword search Parametric interfaces, e.g., bank tellers using function keys. Interfaces for the DBA: ? ? ? Creating user accounts, granting authorizations Setting system parameters Changing schemas or access paths Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 26 Database System Utilities ? To perform certain functions such as: ? ? ? ? ? ? Loading data stored in files into a database. Includes data conversion tools. Backing up the database periodically on tape. Reorganizing database file structures. Performance monitoring utilities. Report generation utilities. Other functions, such as sorting, user monitoring, data compression, etc. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 27 Other Tools ? Data dictionary / repository: ? ? ? Used to store schema descriptions and other information such as design decisions, application program descriptions, user information, usage standards, etc. Active data dictionary is accessed by DBMS software and users/DBA. Passive data dictionary is accessed by users/DBA only. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 28 Other Tools ? ? Application Development Environments and CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools: Examples: ? ? ? PowerBuilder (Sybase) JBuilder (Borland) JDeveloper 10G (Oracle) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 29 Typical DBMS Component Modules Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 30 Centralized and Client-Server DBMS Architectures ? Centralized DBMS: ? ? Combines everything into single system includingDBMS software, hardware, application programs, and user interface processing software. User can still connect through a remote terminal – however, all processing is done at centralized site. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 31 A Physical Centralized Architecture Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 32 Basic 2-tier Client-Server Architectures ? Specialized Servers with Specialized functions ? ? ? ? ? ? Print server File server DBMS server Web server Email server Clients can access the specialized servers as needed Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 33 Logical two-tier client server architecture Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 34 Clients ? ? ? Provide appropriate interfaces through a client software module to access and utilize the various server resources. Clients may be diskless machines or PCs or Workstations with disks with only the client software installed. Connected to the servers via some form of a network. ? (LAN: local area network, wireless network, etc.) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 35 DBMS Server ? ? ? Provides database query and transaction services to the clients Relational DBMS servers are often called SQL servers, query servers, or transaction servers Applications running on clients utilize an Application Program Interface (API) to access server databases via standard interface such as: ? ? ODBC: Open Database Connectivity standard JDBC: for Java programming access Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 36 Two Tier Client-Server Architecture ? ? ? ? Client and server must install appropriate client module and server module software for ODBC or JDBC A client program may connect to several DBMSs, sometimes called the data sources. In general, data sources can be files or other non-DBMS software that manages data. See Chapter 10 for details on Database Programming Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 37 Three Tier Client-Server Architecture ? ? Common for Web applications Intermediate Layer called Application Server or Web Server: ? ? ? Stores the web connectivity software and the business logic part of the application used to access the corresponding data from the database server Acts like a conduit for sending partially processed data between the database server and the client. Three-tier Architecture Can Enhance Security: ? ? ? ? Database server only accessible via middle tier Clients cannot directly access database server Clients contain user interfaces and Web browsers The client is typically a PC or a mobile device connected to the Web Slide 2- 38 Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Three-tier client-server architecture Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 39 Classification of DBMSs ? Based on the data model used ? ? ? ? Legacy: Network, Hierarchical. Currently Used: Relational, Object-oriented, Objectrelational Recent Technologies: Key-value storage systems, NOSQL systems: document based, column-based, graph-based and key-value based. Native XML DBMSs. Other classifications ? ? Single-user (typically used with personal computers) vs. multi-user (most DBMSs). Centralized (uses a single computer with one database) vs. distributed (multiple computers, multiple Slide 2- 40 DBs) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Variations of Distributed DBMSs (DDBMSs) ? ? ? Homogeneous DDBMS Heterogeneous DDBMS Federated or Multidatabase Systems ? ? Participating Databases are loosely coupled with high degree of autonomy. Distributed Database Systems have now come to be known as client-server based database systems because: ? They do not support a totally distributed environment, but rather a set of database servers supporting a set of clients. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 41 Cost considerations for DBMSs ? ? ? Cost Range: from free open-source systems to configurations costing millions of dollars Examples of free relational DBMSs: MySQL, PostgreSQL, others Commercial DBMS offer additional specialized modules, e.g. time-series module, spatial data module, document module, XML module ? ? ? These offer additional specialized functionality when purchased separately Sometimes called cartridges (e.g., in Oracle) or blades Different licensing options: site license, maximum number of concurrent users (seat license), single user, etc. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 42 Other Considerations ? Type of access paths within database system ? ? E.g.- inverted indexing based (ADABAS is one such system).Fully indexed databases provide access by any keyword (used in search engines) General Purpose vs. Special Purpose ? E.g.- Airline Reservation systems or many othersreservation systems for hotel/car etc. Are special purpose OLTP (Online Transaction Processing Systems) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 43 History of Data Models (Additional Material) ? ? ? ? ? Network Model Hierarchical Model Relational Model Object-oriented Data Models Object-Relational Models Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 44 History of Data Models ? Network Model: ? ? ? The first network DBMS was implemented by Honeywell in 1964-65 (IDS System). Adopted heavily due to the support by CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages) (CODASYL - DBTG report of 1971). Later implemented in a large variety of systems IDMS (Cullinet - now Computer Associates), DMS 1100 (Unisys), IMAGE (H.P. (Hewlett-Packard)), VAX -DBMS (Digital Equipment Corp., next COMPAQ, now H.P.). Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 45 Network Model ? Advantages: ? ? ? Network Model is able to model complex relationships and represents semantics of add/delete on the relationships. Can handle most situations for modeling using record types and relationship types. Language is navigational; uses constructs like FIND, FIND member, FIND owner, FIND NEXT within set, GET, etc. ? Programmers can do optimal navigation through the database. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 46 Network Model ? Disadvantages: ? ? Navigational and procedural nature of processing Database contains a complex array of pointers that thread through a set of records. ? Little scope for automated “query optimization” Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 47 History of Data Models ? Hierarchical Data Model: ? ? ? ? Initially implemented in a joint effort by IBM and North American Rockwell around 1965. Resulted in the IMS family of systems. IBM’s IMS product had (and still has) a very large customer base worldwide Hierarchical model was formalized based on the IMS system Other systems based on this model: System 2k (SAS inc.) Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 48 Hierarchical Model ? Advantages: ? ? ? Simple to construct and operate Corresponds to a number of natural hierarchically organized domains, e.g., organization (“org”) chart Language is simple: ? ? Uses constructs like GET, GET UNIQUE, GET NEXT, GET NEXT WITHIN PARENT, etc. Disadvantages: ? ? ? Navigational and procedural nature of processing Database is visualized as a linear arrangement of records Little scope for "query optimization" Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 49 History of Data Models ? Relational Model: ? ? ? ? ? ? Proposed in 1970 by E.F. Codd (IBM), first commercial system in 1981-82. Now in several commercial products (e.g. DB2, ORACLE, MS SQL Server, SYBASE, INFORMIX). Several free open source implementations, e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL Currently most dominant for developing database applications. SQL relational standards: SQL-89 (SQL1), SQL-92 (SQL2), SQL-99, SQL3, … Chapters 5 through 11 describe this model in detail Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 50 History of Data Models ? Object-oriented Data Models: ? ? ? ? ? Several models have been proposed for implementing in a database system. One set comprises models of persistent O-O Programming Languages such as C++ (e.g., in OBJECTSTORE or VERSANT), and Smalltalk (e.g., in GEMSTONE). Additionally, systems like O2, ORION (at MCC - then ITASCA), IRIS (at H.P.- used in Open OODB). Object Database Standard: ODMG-93, ODMG-version 2.0, ODMG-version 3.0. Chapter 12 describes this model. Copyright © 2016 Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe Slide 2- 51 History of Data Models ? Object-Relational Models: ? ? ? ? ? The trend to mix object models with relational was started with Informix Universal Server. Relational systems incorporated concepts from object databases leading to object-relational. Exemplified in the versions of Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server and other DBMSs. Current trend by Relational DBMS vendors is to extend relational DBMSs with capability to process XML, Text and other data types. The term “Object-relational” is receding in the marketplace.
