Database System Design

A database system is a system intended to organize, store, and retrieve large amounts of data easily. It contains an organized collection of data for one or more uses, typically in digital form. One way to classify a database involves the type of their contents, for example: bibliographic, document-text, statistical. Digital database is managed using database management systems, which store database contents, allowing data creation and maintenance, and search and other access.

RDBMS Components:

• Sublanguages— Relation BDMS (RDBMS) include Data definition language (DDL) for defining the structure of the database, Data control language (DCL) for defining security/access controls, and Data manipulation language (DML) for querying and updating data.
• Interface drivers—these drivers which are the code libraries that provide methods to prepare statements, execute statements, fetch results, etc. Examples include ODBC, JDBC, MySqL /PHP, Fire bird/Python.
• SQL engine—this component converts and executes the DLL, DCL, and DML statements. It consists of three major components (compiler, optimizer, and executor).
• Transaction engine—ensures that many SQL statements either succeed or fail as a group, according to application dictates.
• Relational engine—Relational objects, which as Table, Index, and Referential integrity constraints are implemented in this component.
• Storage engine—this component accumulates and retrieves data from secondary storage, as well as managing transaction commit and rollback, backup and recovery, etc.

ODBMS Components:

(ODBMS) Object DBMS has transaction and storage components that are analogous to those in an RDBMS. Some DBMS take care of DDL, DML and update tasks differently. Instead of making use of sublanguages, they provide APIs for these purposes. They typically add with them a sublanguage and accompanying engine for processing queries with interpretive statements analogous to but not the same as SQL. Example related to object query languages are OQL, LINQ, JDOQL, JPAQL and others.
