Database and Data Warehouses
What is a Database?
What is a database? A database is a collection of related data items. It is generally stored on secondary storage devices that allow rapid direct access to individual data items. Redundancy is minimized; where possible, only a single copy if a data item exists. The database may be used by many different application systems at once, eliminating the need for separate systems to maintain the data for each application .When a user program inquires if a particular item is in the database, a database management system (DBMS) does the actual searching. The user does not need to be familiar with the format in which the data is stored or the actual physical location of the data.
數(shù)據(jù)庫和數(shù)據(jù)倉庫
什么是數(shù)據(jù)庫?
數(shù)據(jù)庫就是相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)項(xiàng)的集合。它通常被存儲在輔助存儲器上,這些設(shè)備允許快速直接地訪問單個數(shù)據(jù)項(xiàng)。這樣可以做到冗余最小,如果數(shù)據(jù)項(xiàng)存在的話那么它只有一個副本。數(shù)據(jù)庫可被很多不同的應(yīng)用系統(tǒng)使用,因而避免了不同的系統(tǒng)為每一個應(yīng)用而維護(hù)一個數(shù)據(jù)庫。當(dāng)用戶程序需要數(shù)據(jù)庫中的特殊項(xiàng)時,數(shù)據(jù)庫土管理系統(tǒng)(DBMS)做實(shí)際的搜索。用戶不需要了解數(shù)據(jù)的存儲格式或數(shù)據(jù)的實(shí)際物理位置。
數(shù)據(jù)庫管理系統(tǒng)建立數(shù)據(jù)庫并不斷更新,為授權(quán)用戶提供方便的訪問方法。數(shù)據(jù)庫管理系統(tǒng)也提供其它的安全措施以防止非授權(quán)訪問。DBMS使用相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)項(xiàng)之間關(guān)系的表示非常方便,使用戶應(yīng)用系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計變得容易。它們提供備份和恢復(fù)功能以防止重要的信息丟失或被破壞。由系統(tǒng)管理員決定誰可以訪問數(shù)據(jù)庫、修改數(shù)據(jù)庫以及增加新的關(guān)系等。這也是非常重要的責(zé)任。數(shù)據(jù)庫管理員具有對商業(yè)信息生命線最大的控制權(quán)。數(shù)據(jù)庫管理系統(tǒng)真正的問題是如何組織信息為用戶提出的各種可能的問題提供快速的答案。以不同方式組織的相同數(shù)據(jù)會產(chǎn)生非常不同的訪問速度。為了表明數(shù)據(jù)項(xiàng)之間的關(guān)系,通常有三種方法用于建立數(shù)據(jù)庫:關(guān)系數(shù)據(jù)庫、層次數(shù)據(jù)庫和網(wǎng)狀數(shù)據(jù)庫。
