Database System Structure

The document outlines the key components and overall structure of a database management system (DBMS). It discusses four main components: the query processor, storage manager, disk storage, and their sub-components. The query processor handles query languages and processing. The storage manager provides the interface between data storage and applications, and manages authorization, transactions, file allocation, and caching. Disk storage consists of data files, data dictionary, indices, and statistical information.

Components And Overall Structure of DBMS.
Components of DBMS are broadly classified as follows :
1. Query Processor :
(a) Embedded DML pre-compiler
(b)DML Compiler
(b)DDL Interpreter
(d)Query Evaluation Engine
2. Storage Manager :
(a) Authorization and Integrity Manager
(b) Transaction Manager
(c) File Manager
(d) Buffer Manager
3. Disk storage:
(a) Data Files
(b) Data Dictionary
(c) Indices
(d) Statistical Data
1.Query Processor Components :
• Embedded DML Pre-compiler : It converts DML statements
embedded in an application program to normal procedure calls in
the host language. The Pre-compiler must interact with the DML
compiler to generate the appropriate code.

• DML compiler : It translates DML statements in a query language


into low level instructions that query evaluation engine understands.
It also attempts to transform user's request into an equivalent but
more efficient form.

• DDL Interpreter : It interprets the DDL statements and records


them in a set of tables containing meta data or data dictionary.

• Query Evaluation Engine : It executes low-level instructions


generated by the DML compiler.
2. Storage Manager Components :
They provide the interface between the low-level data stored in the
database and application programs and queries submitted to the
system.
• Authorization and Integrity Manager : It tests for the satisfaction
of integrity constraints checks the authority of users to access data.
• Transaction Manager : It ensures that the database remains in a
consistent state despite the system failures and that concurrent
transaction execution proceeds without conflicting.
• File Manager : It manages the allocation of space on disk storage
and the data structures used to represent information stored on
disk.
• Buffer Manager : It is responsible for fetching data from disk
storage into main memory and deciding what data to cache in
memory.
Disk Storage :
Following data structures are required as a part of the physical
system implementation.

• Data Files : It stores the database.

• Data Dictionary : It stores meta data (data about data) about the
structure of the database.

• Indices : Provide fast access to data items that hold particular


values.

• Statistical Data : It stores statistical information about the data in


the database. This information is used by query processor to select
efficient ways to execute query.
