COMP313 Database Management System

Overview of the System Development Life Cycle SDLC is the acronym that is used to label the System Development Life Cycle. The SDLC traces the history of an information system from its initial stage to its obsolescence. The SDLC is composed of five phases: planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance.

Overview of the System Development Life Cycle There are many different models and methodologies, but each generally consists of a series of defined steps or stages.

How does Database Design Relate to the SDLC? As a specific type of information system, Database Design can be modeled using a similar SDLC type approach, sometimes referred to as DBLC or the Database Development Life Cycle.

Database Development Life Cycle

The SDLC traces the history (life cycle) of an information system. The DBLC traces the history (life cycle) of a database system. Since we know that the database serves the information system, it is not surprising that the two life cycles conform to the same basic phases.
