Apply the database development cycle to a given data set Database development creates enterprise data modeling‚ which forms the range and wide-ranging contents of organizational databases. There are 5 phases in Database Development Cycle: Planning; Analysis; Design; Implementation and Maintenance. Planning In Planning Stage‚ the organization needs to know why do they need the database; what do they want the database to do; and how are they going to make the database. This is also where the

SQL INTRODUCTION Diaz‚ Francis Lorenzo A. BSM CS 3B G2 History of SQL SQL began life as SEQUEL11‚ the Structured English Query Language‚ a component of an IBM research project called System/R. System/R was a prototype of the first relational database system; it was created at IBM’s San Jose laboratories by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in 1974‚ and SEQUEL was the first query language to support multiple tables and multiple users. In the late 1970s‚ SQL made its first appearance in

to real-time database management systems to be used in such control-systems. By integrating a real-time database management system into a vehicle control-system‚ data management on a higher level of abstraction can be achieved. Current database management concepts are not sufficient for use in vehicles‚ and new concepts are necessary. A case-study at Volvo Construction Equipment Components AB in Eskilstuna‚ Sweden presented in this thesis‚ together with a survey of existing database platforms confirms

Comparing and Contrasting the Relational Database Model and OO Model The relational database model is based upon tables or relations. In this model‚ the physical implementation of the database is abstracted away from the user. Users query the database using a high-level query language‚ such as SQL. The relations are made up of columns‚ which have headings indicating the attribute represented by that column. Tables have key fields‚ which can be used to identify unique records. Keys relate tables

Distributed Database Management Systems Rajat sharan errajatsharan@gmail.com Abstract: The dream of computing power as readily available as the electricity in a wall socket is coming closer to reality with the arrival of grid and cloud computing. At the same time‚ databases grow to sizes beyond what can be efficiently managed by single server systems. There is a need for efficient distributed database management systems (DBMSs). Current distributed DBMSs are not built to scale to more
