Introduction

Databases and data warehouses are
methods for organizing and managing
information and business intelligence.

Database management systems and data
mining tools are IT tools you use to work
with information and business intelligence.

Business intelligence - is
knowledge about your:
 Customers
 Competitors
 Partners

Business Intelligence

Two types of information processing include:
1.
Online transaction processing (OLTP) - the
gathering of input information, processing that
information, and updating existing information to
reflect the gathered and processed information.
•
2.
3-7
Operational databases - databases that support OLTP.
Online analytical processing (OLAP) - the
manipulation of information to support decision
making.

A data warehouse is a special form of a
database that contains information
gathered from many operational
databases for the purpose of supporting
decision-making tasks.

The Relational Database
Model

Database - a collection of information that you organize
and access according to the logical structure of that
information.

Relational database model - uses a series of logically
related two-dimensional tables or files to store
information in the form of a database.

Relation - describes each two-dimensional table or file
in the relational model.

The Relational Database
Model

Relational databases are composed of
two parts:
1.

3-10
Information – stored in a series of twodimensional tables, files, or relations.
Logical structure of the information.

The Relational Database
Model
Created with Logical Structures

When you create a database, you first
create the data dictionary.

Data dictionary - contains the logical
structure for the information.

The Relational Database Model
Created with Logical Structures
Part Number is the primary
key because of the key
icon beside it.
For Percentage Markup, we
defined its Format as
“Percent” and its number
of decimal places as 2.

The Relational Database
Model
With Logical Ties Among the Information

Primary key - a field (or group of fields in
some cases) that uniquely describes each
record.

Foreign key - a primary key of one file
that appears in another file.

Database Management
System Tools

Database management system (DBMS) – helps you
specify the logical organization for a database and
access and use the information within a database.


System Tools

DBMS engine - accepts logical requests from the
various other DBMS subsystems, converts them into
their physical equivalent, and actually accesses the
database and data dictionary as they exist on a storage
device.

Physical view - deals with how information is physically
arranged, stored, and accessed on some type of storage
device such as a hard disk.

Logical view - focuses on how you arrange and access
information to meet your particular business needs.

Data Definition Subsystem

Data definition subsystem - helps you create
and maintain the data dictionary and define the
structure of the files in a database.
(For a great overview on the logical properties of
information review the table on page 136)

DBMS Tools
Data Manipulation Subsystem

Data manipulation subsystem - helps you add,
change, and delete information in a database
and mine it for valuable information. Tools here
include views, report generators, QBE, and SQL.

View - allows you to see the contents of a
database file, make whatever changes you want,
perform simple sorting, and query to find the
location of specific information.

subsystem - a DBMS
helps you manage the
overall database
environment by providing
facilities for backup and
recovery, security
management, query
optimization, concurrency
control, and change
management.

information in a data warehouse. These tools
include:
 Query-and-reporting tools - similar to QBE tools,
SQL, and report generators in the typical database
environment.
 Intelligent agents – use various artificial
intelligence tools to form the basis of information
discovery and building business intelligence in
OLAP.

How Will Changes in Technology Affect
Organizing and Managing Information?

As new technologies become available, you
should ask yourself whether those technologies
will help you organize and manage your
information better.

One of the greatest technological changes that
will occur over the coming years is a
convergence of different tools that will help you
better organize and manage information.
