Database System: Introduction

Database Management System (DBMS)
 Contains a large bodies of information
 Collection of interrelated data (database)
 Set of programs to access the data

Goal of a DBMS:
 provides a way to store and retrieve database information that is both
• convenient and
• efficient.

Functions of DBMS: Management of Data (MOD)
 Defining structure for storage data
 Providing mechanisms for manipulation of data
 Ensure safety of data (system crashes, unauthorized access, misused, …)
 Concurrent control in multi-user environment
 Computer Scientists: developed a lot of concepts and technique for MOD
 concepts and technique form the focus of this book, and this course

1.1 Database-System Applications


Database Applications:
 Banking: all transactions

Airlines: reservations, schedules

Universities: registration, grades, student profile, ..

Sales: customers, products, purchases

Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain

Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions
Databases touch all aspects of our lives

1.2 Purpose of Database Systems


In the early days, database applications were built on top of file
systems
Drawbacks of using file systems to store data:
 Data redundancy and inconsistency
• Multiple file formats, duplication of information in different

files
Difficulty in accessing data
• Need to write a new program to carry out each new task

Data isolation — multiple files and formats

Integrity problems
• Integrity constraints
•
(e.g. account balance > 0) become part
of program code
Hard to add new constraints or change existing ones

Drawbacks of using file systems (cont.)

Drawbacks of using file systems to store data: (cont.)
原子性, 單一性
 Atomicity of updates
• Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state with

partial updates carried out
• E.g. transfer of funds from one account to another should
either complete or not happen at all
Concurrent access by multiple users
• Concurrent accessed needed for performance
• Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to inconsistencies
 E.g. two people reading a balance and updating it at the same
time

Security problems
Solution
Database systems offer solutions to all the above problems

1.3 View of Data and Data Abstraction

Physical level: describes how a record (e.g., customer information)
is stored in disk.
 By sequential file, pointer, or hash structure, …

Logical level: describes data stored in database, and the
relationships among the data.
type customer = record
name : string;
street : string;
city : string;
income : integer;
end;

View level: application programs hide details of data types. Views
can also hide information (e.g., income) for security purposes.

1.3.2 Instances and Schemas

Schema – the logical structure of the database
 e.g., the database consists of information about a set of customers and
accounts and the relationship between them
 Analogous to type information of a variable in a program
 Physical schema: database design at the physical level
 Logical schema: database design at the logical level
account
create table account
(account-number char(10),
balance integer)
type customer = record
name : string;
street : string;
city : integer;
end;

Instances and Schemas (cont.)

Instance – the actual content of the database at a particular point in time
 Analogous to the value of a variable
Instance
Schema
create table account
(account-number char(10),
balance integer)

Physical Data Independence – the ability to modify the physical schema
without changing the logical schema
 Applications depend on the logical schema
 In general, the interfaces between the various levels and components
should be well defined so that changes in some parts do not seriously
influence others.

1.4 Database Languages

Data Definition Language (DDL):
 Specification notation for defining the database schema

E.g.
create table account
(account-number char(10),
balance integer)

Data Manipulation Language (DML)

To express database queries or updates

E.g.
Select account-number
from account
where balance >1000

SQL (Structured Query Language): a single language for both

1.4.1 Data-Manipulation Language (DML)

Language for accessing and manipulating the data organized
by the appropriate data model
 DML also known as query language


For retrieval, insertion, deletion, modification (update)
Two classes of languages
 Procedural DMLs – user specifies what data is required and
how to get those data
• E.g. … in C

Declarative DMLs (Nonprocedural DMLs) – user specifies
what data is required without specifying how to get those data
• E.g.

In SQL:
Select account-number
from account
where balance > 700
SQL is the most widely used query language

1.4.2 Data-Definition Language (DDL)

Specification notation for defining the database schema
 E.g.
create table account
(account-number char(10),
balance integer)

Define:
• Attributes name
• Data type
• Consistency constraints (integrity constraints)
 Domain constraints:
e.g. assets are integer type
 Assertions: e.g. assets >= 0
 Authorization: for different users
 ….
Edited: Wei-Pang Yang, IM.NDHU, 2009
create table branch
(branch-name
char(15),
branch-city
char(30),
assets
integer,
primary key (branch-name),
check (assets >= 0))

Data Dictionary and Storage Definition

Data Dictionary:
 DDL compiler generates a set of tables stored in a data dictionary
 contains metadata (i.e., data about data)
• Database schema
• System tables
• Users
•…
 Database system consults the Data dictionary before reading or
modifying actual dada.

Data storage and definition language
• To specify the storage structure and access methods
• Usually an extension of the data definition language

1.5 Relational Databases

Definition 1: A Relational Database is a database that is perceived
by the users as a collection of time-varying, normalized relations
(tables).
•
•
•

Perceived by the users: the relational model apply at the view level and
logical levels.
Time-varying: the set of tuples changes with time.
Normalized: contains no repeating group (only contains atomic value).
The relational model represents a database system at a level of
abstraction that removed from the details of the underlying machine,
like high-level language.

1.6 Database Design


Database Design - The process of designing the general structure of
the database:
 Logical Design
 Physical Design
Logical Design – Deciding on the database schema.
 To find a “good” collection of relation schemas.



Business decision – What attributes should we record in the
database?
Computer Science decision – What relation schemas should we
have and how should the attributes be distributed among the
various relation schemas?
Physical Design – Deciding on the physical layout of the database

1.7 Object-Based and Semistructured Databases

Extend the relational data model
 by including object orientation and

constructs to deal with added data types. (video, image, …)

Allow attributes of tuples to have complex types, including
 non-atomic values such as nested relations. (repeated data, …)

Preserve relational foundations,
 in particular the declarative access to data, while extending
modeling power.

1.7.2 Semistructured Data Models

XML (Extensible Markup Language)
 Defined by the WWW Consortium (W3C)
聯合

Originally intended as a document markup language not a
database language

The ability to specify new tags, and to create nested tag
structures made XML a great way to exchange data, not just
documents

XML has become the basis for all new generation data
interchange formats.

A wide variety of tools is available for parsing, browsing
and querying XML documents/data

1.8.1 Storage Management

Storage Manager
 is a program module
 that provides the interface between the low-level data stored and the
application programs and queries submitted to the system.

Tasks of the Storage Manager:
 interaction with the file manager (part of Operating System)
 Translates DML into low-level file-system commands,
 i.e. responsible for storing, retrieving and updating of data in database

Data Structures of the Storage Manager
 Data files: store database itself
 Data Dictionary: store metadata
 Indices: provide fast access to data items that hold particular values

Storage Management (cont.)

Components of Storage manager:
 Authorization and Integrity Manager
• Tests for the satisfaction of integrity constraints
• Checks the authority of users to access data
 Transaction Manager
• Ensure the database in a consistent state (correct) after failures
• Ensure that concurrent transaction executions proceed without
conflicting
 File Manager
• Manages the allocation of space on disk
• Manages the data structures used to representation data stored
 Buffer manager
• Fetches data from disk into main memory
• Decides what data to cache in main memory

1.8.2 The Query Processor

DDL Interpreter
 Interprets DDL statements


DML Compiler
 Translates DML statements into an evaluation plan (or some
evaluation plans) which consists low-level instructions


write the definitions (schema, view, ..) into the data dictionary
Query Optimization: picks the lowest cost evaluation plan
Query Evaluation Engine:
 execute low-level instructions generated by the DML Compiler

Query Optimizer

Alternative ways of evaluating a given query
 Equivalent expressions


Different algorithms for each operation
Cost difference between a good and a bad way of evaluating a query
can be enormous

Need to estimate the cost of operations

Depends critically on statistical information about relations which
the database must maintain

Need to estimate statistics for intermediate results to compute cost of
complex expressions

1.9 Transaction Management

Transaction:
 A transaction is a collection of operations that performs a single
logical function in a database application


Atomicity: all or nothing
Failure recovery manager
 ensures that the database remains in a consistent (correct) state,

Failure:
• system failures (e.g., power failures and operating system
•

crashes)
transaction failures.
Concurrency-control manager
 controls the interaction among the concurrent transactions, to
ensure the consistency of the database.

Descriptive Patterns
 Associations
• Find books that are often bought by “similar” customers.

If a new
such customer buys one such book, suggest the others too. (library)
Associations may be used as a first step in detecting causation 引起;因果關係

計算機科學的諾貝爾獎 – 杜林獎 (趙坤茂)




象徵最崇高學術桂冠的諾貝爾獎,從1901年開始頒發,根據瑞典發
明家諾貝爾的遺囑,設有物理、化學、生理醫學、文學及和平等五
個獎項;自1969年起,增設了經濟學諾貝爾獎。
疑問: 為什麼諾貝爾獎沒有數學獎項呢?坊間流傳的說法是,當初
諾貝爾的夫人,曾經和瑞典一位很有成就的數學家米塔雷符勒有過
一段婚外情,所以諾貝爾決定不設數學獎項。
英國數學家亞蘭杜林(Alan Turing,1912-1954),雖然無緣在有生之
年得到諾貝爾獎,但後人為了紀念他在數位計算理論貢獻而設立的
杜林獎(Turing Award),已被公認是計算機科學領域最崇高的獎項。
杜林獎從1966年開始頒發,受獎人都是對計算機科學有深遠影響的
大師級學者。例如,在計算複雜度理論上有卓越貢獻的庫克(Cook)、
C程式語言的創始人理奇(Ritchie)、Unix作業系統製作人湯普生
(Thompson)及資料庫管理系統的先驅卡德(Codd)等。

計算機科學的諾貝爾獎 – 杜林獎 (cont.)





1936年時,杜林提出了一個假想性的計算工具,稱為杜林機器
(Turing machine),這個機器有一個長條型、無窮多格的儲存磁帶,
每一格位置是空白或一個符號;附帶在磁帶上的是一個可讀寫的磁
頭,它可以在磁帶的格子往左或往右,並在每次移動時讀、寫或擦
拭該格子;還有一個有限狀態控制機,可運用狀態的改變,配合目
前磁頭所在的位置,來決定這些移動讀寫的動作。
這樣一個簡單的機器,它的運算功力竟然相當於今天的數位計算機,
換句話說,目前數位計算機可以運算的方法,我們都可以在杜林機
器上實現!
杜林也提出了如何決定電腦是否會“思考”的方法,也被視為人工
智慧研究領域的基石。
在二次世界大戰時,杜林曾發展一個可以破解德軍密碼的機器,不
過世人在戰爭結束二十五年後才知曉。
他也是馬拉松運動的好手,真是多才多藝的科學家。可惜他在1954
年時就過世,只享年42歲。

Mail: 台大醫院資訊室國防役徵才
楊老師您好:
台大醫院資訊室國防役徵才啟事
資格:符合國防役甄選資格之資訊、電機、醫工相關領域碩士及博士各一名
待遇:比照大學講師,表現良好者提供在職進修機會
工作內容:
目前台大醫院的醫療資訊系統 (HIS) 是二十年前開始規劃開發的,運作的平台是IBM mainframe 和它的
hierarchical database。所謂的 HIS 處理的是門診、急診、住院等的掛號、看診、檢查、處方、批價、領藥,乃至
於向健保局的申報等等作業。二十年來經過多手的維護,因應新的法規、業務等的增修等等因素,已經使得現有
HIS變成龐然巨物,幾乎沒有人可以從容的掌控了。
另外因為mainframe 的維護費用居高不下,實在有必要在開放式平台上用新的架構,如relational database,
開發新的醫療資訊系統。過去這類案子,大部分的醫院都是採用委外開發的方式進行。不過過份的依賴委外開發使
得臺大醫院資訊室無法掌握程式碼,以致於較難做有效的維護。所以這次我們組織新的開發團隊負責程式撰寫,搭
配臺大醫院資訊室現有人員的系統分析,共同完成開放式平台上新的醫療資訊系統。
今年預計可以完成門診系統,隨後將進行住院、急診以及行政系統。醫療資訊系統有其專業,而且永遠有市場
需求。台大醫院的複雜度,將使這些 know how 可以涵蓋台灣大多數的醫院。目前臺大醫院除了總院 (含公館院區)
外還有、雲林分院、北護分院等,涵蓋了醫學中心、區域醫院以及地區醫院。將來還將擴展到結盟的基層診所,組
合成一個完整的醫療體系。進而可以把研發的成果推廣到各醫療機構 (含國軍醫院體系)。
有關團隊人員的長期生涯規劃,我們將會朝著鼓勵他們協助他們成立育成公司的方向前進。醫療資訊系統的
know how 將是該育成公司的最大資產。
意者請於 94/3/15 前將履歷及自傳 eMail 至 [email protected] (翟家屏組長)
