Special software create & maintain a database. Enable individual business applications to extract the
data they need without data definitions. Acts as an interface between application programs and physical data files.
Centrally controlled, integrated collection of logically
organized data, is a database. Various pieces of data within database must have logical connection among themselves for integration i.e, data elements must be in a specific place and bear specific relationships for collection of data to be substantial.
Groups of mathematical rules to test decisions
Process of applying rules of normal form is
NORMALISATION. DEGREES OF NORMALISATION: 1NF 2NF 3NF or boyce codd normal form 4NF
5NF
Considers information requirements of many different
types of users Conceptual relationships will decide the key data entities and attributes PHYSICAL DATABASE MODEL:stored framework of data on a physical device design of the database optimise the physical database for space and time consideration
