What is DBMS ?
 A database management system (DBMS) is a

software package with computer programs that
controls the creation, maintenance, and use of
a database. It allows organizations to conveniently
develop databases for various applications. A
database is an integrated collection of data records,
files, and other objects. A DBMS allows different user
application programs to concurrently access the same
database

Components:
 DBMS engine accepts logical requests from various other DBMS

subsystems, converts them into physical equivalents, and actually
accesses the database and data dictionary as they exist on a storage
device.
 Data definition subsystem helps the user create and maintain the
data dictionary and define the structure of the file in a database.
 Data manipulation subsystem helps the user to add, change, and
delete information in a database and query it for valuable information.
Software tools within the data manipulation subsystem are most often
the primary interface between user and the information contained in a
database. It allows the user to specify its logical information
requirements.
 Application generation subsystem contains facilities to help users
develop transaction-intensive applications. It usually requires that the
user perform a detailed series of tasks to process a transaction. It
facilitates easy-to-use data entry screens, programming languages, and
interfaces.

Advantages:
 Warehouse of Information

 Defining Attributes
 Systematic Storage
 Changes to Schema
 No Language Dependence
 Table Joins
 Multiple Simultaneous Usage
 Data Security

 Abstract View of Data and Easy Retrieval
 Data Consistency

1. Identify all the elements that need to be included
in the database management system. This will vary
depending on the size and type of your business.
At the very least, you will need to be able to access
data on raw and finished goods inventories,
customer information, shipment tracking,
employee data and Accounts Receivable and
Payable data. Knowing what you need will make it
easier to include all important elements in the
DBMS.

2. Set perimeters for access to data. Not all
employees need to have access to all data. This
means establishing login credentials for all
employees and setting up a hierarchy of privileges
associated with each set of credentials. For larger
companies, this usually means establishing
specific privileges for a job or position. In smaller
companies, the authorizations may focus more on
the individual employee and less on the position.

3. Test drive the new DBMS. Before pressing the new
database management system into service, run it
for a period of time outside your “real” business by
running it through all the projected applications.
Enter data, run reports, look up histories, run
queries, and conduct any other intended uses of
the system. This will provide the chance to correct
any small issues with functionality before the
system
goes
live.

4. Educate all users. This can often be the most time
consuming
part
of
the
implementation
process, outside the offline testing. If the processes
are well defined and fairly straightforward, then
the learning curve will be a relatively short one.
Making sure that all users understand how to use
the new DBMS will minimize downtime and other
issues that are commonly associated with a new
implementation.

5. Evaluate the system after it has been up and
running for a time. This is an aspect that is often
overlooked as part of the implementation process.
After running the system live, ask users to evaluate
the ease of use and to recommend ways that the
system could be used to make life easier for
everyone
in
the
company
