    The DBMS 9database management system: uses special software to create and maintain acentral database a%ailable to e%eryone in the organi&ation. This enables indi%idual businessapplications to extract the data they need without ha%ing to create separate files or datadefinitions. The data are more secure because they are held in one place$ more consistent

    and accurate because the same data are not /ept in many separate files 9each of which mustbe updated accurately when the data changes:$ and more flexible because the DBMSsupports ad hoc in5uiries.

    To use a relational database model effecti%ely$ complex groupings of data must bestreamlined to eliminate redundant data elements and aw/ward many*to*many relationships.The process of creating small$ stable data structures from complex groups of data is callednormali&ation. The obecti%e is to set the data files up so that each item of data re5uired bythe DBMS need be entered only once$ then pulled for multiple reports as re5uired by the%arious applications. Many real*world databases are not fully normali&ed because this may

    not be the most sensible way to meet their business information re5uirements. #n a casewhere each single part is always ordered from the same manufacturer$ and eachmanufacturer is responsible only for the one part it pro%ides$ fully normali&ing the databasewould re5uire two separate filesFone for the parts$ another for the manufacturer G which inthis case would not be efficient.

    The data definition language is that component of a database management system thatdefines each data element as it appears in the database. The data manipulation language isthe language associated with a DBMS that end users and programmers use to 5uery thedata in the database. S

    The three basic operations are select$ oin$ and proect. The select operation creates asubset consisting of all records in the file that meet stated criteria. The proect operationcreates a subset consisting of columns in a table$ permitting the user to create new tablesthat contain only the information re5uired. The oin operation combines relational tables topro%ide the user with more information than is a%ailable in the indi%idual tables.

    The textboo/ identifies data administration$ data planning and modeling methodology$database technology and management$ and users as the four critical elements. Dataadministration is the special organi&ational function for managing the organi&ation3s dataresourcesC it is concerned with information policy$ data planning$ maintenance of datadictionaries$ and data 5uality standards. Data planning and modeling methodology is the useof enterprise analysis to identify and address the information re5uirements of the entireorgani&ation$ as opposed to the re5uirements of indi%idual applications. Enterprise analysisidentifies the /ey entities$ attributes$ and relationships that constitute the organi&ation3s data.

    Database technology and management refers to the decisions and processes in%ol%ed in thepurchase of hardware and software and the identification of those in management who areresponsible for specific areas of data gathering$ maintenance$ and reporting. @sers are theindi%iduals who actually manipulate the data gathered$ creating and distributing thenecessary reports.
