Fundamental structure of a
DBMS
DBMS is a software which helps the user to
perform all related operations on a
database.
It also allows different classes of users to
access different portions of the database by
providing a proper interface for interaction.

The important objectives of a database
includes data sharing, data security.
CHARACTERISTICS OF DBMS :
Interrogate data files.
Limits the access of database.
Large storage capacity.
Minimize duplication.
User friendly.



Reduction of redundancy.
Shares data.
Integrity.
Security.
Conflict resolution.


Cost of h/w & s/w.
Complexity of backup & recovery.
Problems associated with centralization.

Hierarchical (HDBMS)
Network (NDBMS)
Relation (RDBMS)
Object oriented (OODBMS)
Multidimensional (MDBMS)

The relationships between records from a
hierarchy or tree like structure; All records are of
dependent type and arranged in multilevel
structures consisting of one root record and
number of subordinate levels. The relationships
are one to many.





EMPLOYEE 1 2 3
COMPANY
PROJECT 1
PROJECT 2

The relationships are more complex and logical. It
allows many to many relationships. The network
model can access a data element by following one of
several paths. Any data element or record can be
related to any number of other data elements.

All data elements within the database are viewed as
being stored in the form of simple tables.
Database might represent the data element
relationships among projects, divisions, product lines
and so on. DBMS packages can link data elements
from various tables to provide information to users.
Example -
Department table Employee table
DEPT EMP
NAME
DEPT
LOCATION
DEPT
MANAGER

C
DEPT EMPLOYEE ID
This is to find increasing use in managing the hyper
media databases and java applets on the www and
corporate intranets and extranets. It manages the
hyperlinked multimedia pages and other types of
data that support corporate websites.
An OODBMS can easily manage the access and
storage of objects such as document and graphic
images, visual audio segments and other subsets or
webpages.
This structure is a variation of the relational model that uses
multidimensional structures to organise data and express the
relationships between data. One can visualize these
structures as cubes of data and cubes within cubes of data.
Each dimension can represent a different category, such as
product type,region,sales channel, time etc.
