2. Structured Query Language (more often
known as SQL) is a programming language
specially designed to help user in manipulating
data that are stored in relational database
management system (RDBMS).
3. Data manipulation language (DML)
Data definition language (DDL)
Data control language (DCL)
7. A database is a collection of organised data.
E.g. collecting information about all employees
in an organisation.
8. Database management systems (DBMS) are
applications specially designed for the purpose
of interacting with the user, the built database
and other applications when capturing and
analysing data. There are lots of software
systems that are general-purpose database
management system software which allows
user to create, define, make querry, update and
administer databases. Some of this software
includes Microsoft access, MySQL, SQLite,
FoxPro, dBASE, Oracle, FileMaker Pro etc.
9. Relational database management system
(known as RDBMS) is an extension of database
management system which is based on
relational modelling. It has become a
predominant choice of information storage in
newly created databases used in personnel
data, logistics, manufacturing, finance etc.
10. DBMS is used in just managing database while
RDBMS is used to maintain relationship among
tables.
DBMS accepts flat file entry data type but RDBMS
does not
RDBMS is used in complex applications while
DBMS is used in simpler applications
RDBMS enforces the use and rules of foreign key
but DMBS does not
DBMS manage only small entry of data while
RDBMS can manage both large and small entry
sets of data.
11. SQL Server is a server based database while
Microsoft Access is used as local database.
Access is used for small desktop size databases
used by less than 5 users at the same time while
SQL Server is a more robust system and is able to
handle large amounts of users as well as data sizes
MS-access have a front end GUI system to design
applications quickly while does not have front end
GUI system so it will require other development
tools (Visual Studios, .NET, VB, C++, etc.)
12. A library is a collection of organized
information and resources which is made
accessible to a well-defined community for
borrowing or reference sake. The collection of
the resources and information are provided in
digital or physical format in either a
building/room or in a virtual space or even
both. Library’s resources and collections may
include newspapers, books, films, prints, maps,
CDs, tapes, videotapes, microform, database
etc.
15. Computerized customer service system
Digital ID for customers and staff
Use of a good RDBMS software in
manipulating data in the database
RFID chip installed in books to ease
transactions and security purpose.
Restrict access to database to only
administrators and/or authorised personnel
only
