Data

• Data–A necessity for almost any enterprise to carry out

its business. Consists of raw facts, and when organized may be transformed into information.

• Database• A collection of data organized to meet users’

needs

Data Management

• In order to manage data it must be organized.• It is organized in a hierarchy.

How Characters are Stored

Codes for Storing DataASCII• American Standard Code for Information Interchange.• 8 bit code. (256 characters can be represented).• In the early years of computers, it was the most popular code but it was limited to how many characters it could represent. ASCII is still very much used today but it has be extended from 8 bits

to 16 bits. With 16 bits, over 65,536characters can be represented.


Codes for Storing DataCharacter ASCII

0 001100001 00110001...9 00111001


Codes for Storing DataUNICODE• UNICODE: Universal Code.• Today, it is the most popular code.• Used by most computer manufactures.• 16 bit code. (65,536 characters can be represented)

• A 16 bit code will allow for other languages to be represented in the code, not just English.

The Traditional Approach to Data Management

• The Traditional Approach–Separate files are created and stored for

each application program.–Very common from the 50’s through the

80’s.

PROBLEMS

(3) LACK OF DATA INTEGRATION•With separate file systems, it is difficult to produce reports which require data from separate file systems.

•EXAMPLE: The bank manager might want a report showing the names of customers who use all the bank's services: checking, savings and loans.

•In order to collect this information for a report, a separate computer program would need to be written and this take time.

PROBLEMS

(4) PROGRAM-DATA DEPENDENCE•If the size of a field in a record changes, all the programs which access that record must be modified.

•EXAMPLE: When ZIP codes changed from 5 digits to 9 digits, all programs which accessed ZIP codes had to be modified.

Note: When the ZIP code changed, millions of programs needed to be changed in corporations, governments, etc.

The Database Approach

• The Database Management System Approach– A pool of related data is shared by multiple application

programs. Rather than having separate data files, each application uses a collection of data that is either joined or related in the database.

– A DBMS “knows” everything about the data on thehard storage drive/s, and has complete control over it.

Advantages to the Database Approach

• Improved strategic use of corporate data• Reduced data redundancy• Improved data integrity• Easier modification and updating• Data and program independence• Better access to data and information• Standardization of data access• A framework for program development• Better overall protection of the data• Shared data and information resources

Disadvantages to the Database Approach

• Increased vulnerability. Unauthorized people hack into databases on a regular bases.

• Foolishly, employees place databases on their laptops which are stolen when left in cars or unattended at coffee shops. LoJack Tracking Software

• Great for coffee shops

• The cable is retractable. Just

wrap the cable around a table

post and into the Kensington port on your

computer; then lock the cable into the port.

Relational Database Terms• Joining

– Data manipulation that combines two or more tables.– These three tables can be joined using a common field such as Dept.

number.– Example: Using Project number (155) we can find out

the description of the project and for what department theproject was conducted.This can be done easily even though the data is within twoseparate files.

– See the next slide to see how easy joining can be done usinga query language called SQL. (Pronounce S-Q-L or “sequel”)SQL is in all database management systems, including Access.

•What category of books sell the best?

•Which customers purchase the most books and in which categories?

•From what state are the most books purchased?

•Etc, etc.

• What data do you need to have in your database to accomplish your goals?


Tables in Database• These three tables will be created to track the displayed information above, such

as the customer’s First Name, Last Name, Street, City, State, ZIP code and Email

•Primary Keys are used to identify a record in a database, much like a SSN is

used in many databases to access a particular record, such as a credit score.

A drivers license number is another example because it is used to access records

by the DMV, etc.


Primary Keys


DATABASE TERMS•FOREIGN KEYS: The Orders Table has two foreign keys.

•Foreign Keys are fields with the same (but could be different) names as the PRIMARY KEY in other tables. For example, Customer ID in the Orders Table is the name of the PRIMARY KEY in the Customers Table. And, Book ID in the Orders Table is the name of the PRIMARY KEY in the Books Table.

Every order that a customer places will cause a new record to be placed in the Orders Table. That record will contain the Customers ID number, the Book ID

Number and the Order Date. The function of the Orders Table is to track orders.
