Introduction
System Development Lifecycle- SDLC

 SDLC- A systematic approach which explicitly breaks down the work

into phases that are required to implement either new or modified
Information System.

 Includes 5 main phases- Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation

and Maintenance.

 An effective SDLC delivers a high-quality system that meets customer

expectations, is completed time and within budget, and functions
efficiently in the current and future IT infrastructure.
SDLC- Phases
Data and Database concepts

 Data: Information that is collected, stored, and processed for a specific

purpose. It can be numbers, text, images, or any other form of raw
facts that can be used as a base to make decisions.

 Database: A structured collection of data that is organized and stored

in a way that makes it easy to access, manage, and update. It allows
users to efficiently retrieve and manipulate data for various
applications.
DBMS and RDBMS

 DBMS (Database Management System): A software tool that helps

users store, manage, and retrieve data in a database. It allows for
easy organization, access, and control of data, ensuring that data is
stored securely and consistently across different applications.

 RDBMS (Relational Database Management System): A type of

DBMS that organizes data into tables, or "relations," where data is
stored in rows and columns. It uses SQL (Structured Query Language)
to manage and query data, allowing for complex relationships between
tables and ensuring data integrity. Examples include Oracle, MySQL,
and PostgreSQL.
Existing (RDBMS) examples:
 Oracle Database
• Features: Advanced security, high availability, scalability
• Use Case: Large enterprises, mission-critical applications
 Microsoft SQL Server
• Features: Integration with Microsoft products, robust reporting tools
• Use Case: Enterprise applications, data warehousing
 MySQL
• Features: Open-source, high performance, ease of use
• Use Case: Web applications, small to medium-sized businesses
 PostgreSQL
• Features: Open-source, extensible, support for advanced data types
• Use Case: Complex applications, data analysis
Oracle RDBMS

 Oracle Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is a

robust and versatile database management system developed by
Oracle Corporation.

 Designed to efficiently handle large volumes of data and complex

transactions, providing a reliable and secure environment for data
management.

 Supports various data models and advanced features, making it

suitable for a wide range of enterprise applications.
Advantages Compared to Other DBMS:
 Scalability and Performance:
 High Transaction Load Handling: Oracle RDBMS can efficiently manage large
volumes of transactions and data.
 Vertical and Horizontal Scaling: Supports scaling up (adding resources to a single
server) and scaling out (adding more servers) to accommodate growing data needs.
 Advanced Security:
 Comprehensive Security Features: Includes data encryption, robust user
authentication, and fine-grained access control to ensure data protection.
 Comprehensive Toolset:
 Integrated Management Tools: Includes Oracle Enterprise Manager for database
management and SQL Developer for development and administration.
 Advanced Analytics: Provides tools for complex data analysis and reporting.
DB Table Concept

 A database table is a structured way to store data in rows and

columns, like a spreadsheet.

 Each row represents a record (or an individual data entry), and each
column represents a specific type of information (like a name, date, or
number).

 Tables organize and hold data in a clear, accessible format, making it

easy to search, update, and manage.
DB Table Concept
Entity Relationship Model- ERM

 Data Model- conceptual tool to describe how data is

structured, stored, and organized in a database.

 Entity Relationship Model (ERM)- model how data is

structured and how entities (like tables) relate to one another.

 Helps designers map out the logical structure of a database,

and is key in creating an efficient relational database system.
ERM – Key components
1. Entities
Objects or concepts that store data (typically database tables). For example:
Employees, Departments,…etc.

2. Attributes
Describe properties or details of an entity (fields or columns in a table). For
example: employees might have attributes like employee_id,
employee_name, age, … etc.

3. Relationships
Defines how entities relate to each other. For example: an employee works
at a department.

Relating Multiple Tables
 Each row of data in a table can be uniquely identified by a
primary key.
 You can logically relate data from multiple tables using foreign
keys.
Relating multiple tables
Guidelines for Primary Keys and Foreign Keys:

 You cannot use duplicate values in a primary key.

 Primary keys generally cannot be changed.

 Foreign keys are based on data values and are purely logical (not physical)
pointers.

 A foreign key value must match an existing primary key value or unique key
value; otherwise, it must be null.

 A foreign key must reference either a primary key or a unique key column.
Structured Query Language- SQL
 SQL- The standard language for operating relational databases.
 Efficient, easy to learn, and use.
 Functionally complete (With SQL, you can define, retrieve, and manipulate data
in the tables.).
Development Environments for SQL
 There are two development environments for this course:
 The primary tool is Oracle SQL Developer.
 SQL*Plus command-line interface can also be used.
SQL statements types
Database Schema

 Actual implementation of the structure of a database.

 Defines how data is organized in a database and specifies the

tables, columns, data types, constraints, and relationships
between tables.

 Provides the concrete blueprint that is used to create and

manage the actual database in a database management
system (DBMS).
