(SDLC)
Database Life Cycle
(DBLC)
Lecture Objectives
• Define Information System, System
Analysis, System Development, and
Database Development
• Discuss the components of the Systems
Development Life Cycle
• Discuss the components of the Database
Life Cycle
Definitions – Information Systems
• Allows for data collection, storage, and retrieval
• Facilitates the transformation of data into
information and the management of data and
information
People + Hardware + Software + Databases +
Application Programs + Procedures
=
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Definitions – Systems Analysis
• Process that establishes the need and the extent
for information systems
• Analyzing in detail the information needs of an
organization, the characteristics and
components of presently utilized information
systems, and the functional requirements of
proposed information systems.
Definitions – Systems Development
• Process of creating the information system
• Use the results of the systems analysis to
determine the requirements and hence
use the requirements to develop the
information system
– Databases, application software, etc.
Definitions – Database Development
• Process of database design and
development
• Database Design
– Complete, normalized, non-redundant and
fully integrated conceptual, logical, and
physical database models
• Database Implementation
– Database storage structure, loading data, and
data management
