Database Management Architecture.pptx
- 2. Types of DBMS Architecture • Database Management System (DBMS) architecture is crucial for efficient data management and system performance. • It involves the database's design, development, and maintenance, determining how users interact with and access the system. • Database management systems are divided into multiple levels of abstraction for proper functioning. • These modules/layers describe the functioning and the design of the DBMS.
- 3. • Since a database management system is not always directly accessible by the user or an application, we can maintain it with the help of various architectures based on how the user is connected to the database. • These architectures follow a tier-based classification, i.e., the DBMS architecture is classified depending upon how many layers are present in the structure of the DBMS. • Now, let’s look at the most common DBMS architectures: Single Tier Architecture (One-Tier Architecture) Two-Tier Architecture Three-Tier Architecture N – Tier Architecture
- 4. 1-Tier Architecture • In this architecture, the database is directly available to the user. It means the user can directly sit on the DBMS and uses it. • Any changes done here will directly be done on the database itself. It doesn't provide a handy tool for end users. • The 1-Tier architecture is used for development of the local application, where programmers can directly communicate with the database for the quick response • Putting all the components on a single platform
- 6. 2-Tier Architecture • The 2-Tier architecture is same as basic client-server. In the two-tier architecture, applications on the client end can directly communicate with the database at the server side. For this interaction, API's like: ODBC, JDBC are used. • The user interfaces and application programs are run on the client- side. • The server side is responsible to provide the functionalities like: query processing and transaction management. • To communicate with the DBMS, client-side application establishes a connection with the server side.
- 8. 3-Tier Architecture • The 3-Tier architecture contains another layer between the client and server. • In this architecture, client can't directly communicate with the server. • The application on the client-end interacts with an application server which further communicates with the database system. • End user has no idea about the existence of the database beyond the application server. • The database also has no idea about any other user beyond the application. • The 3-Tier architecture is used in case of large web application
- 11. N-tier architecture • An N-tier architecture divides an application into logical layers and physical tiers. • Logical diagram of an N-tier architecture style. • N-tier architectures are typically implemented in cloud computing. • In which with each tier running on a separate set of Virtual Machines.
- 12. Schema Architecture of DBMS • The three schema architecture is also called ANSI/SPARC architecture or three-level architecture. • This framework is used to describe the structure of a specific database system. • The three schema architecture is also used to separate the user applications and physical database. • The three schema architecture contains three-levels. • It breaks the database down into three different categories.
- 14. 1. Internal Level • The internal level has an internal schema which describes the physical storage structure of the database. • The internal schema is also known as a physical schema. • It uses the physical data model. It is used to define that how the data will be stored in a block. • The physical level is used to describe complex low-level data structures in detail. • The internal level is generally is concerned with the following activities: storage space allocations, Access paths, Data compression and encryption techniques, representation of stored field
- 16. 2. Conceptual Level • The conceptual schema describes the design of a database at the conceptual level. • Conceptual level is also known as logical level. • The conceptual schema describes the structure of the whole database. • The conceptual level describes what data are to be stored in the database and also describes what relationship exists among those data. • In the conceptual level, internal details such as an implementation of the data structure are hidden. • Programmers and database administrators work at this level.
- 18. 3. External Level • At the external level, a database contains several schemas that sometimes called as subschema. The subschema is used to describe the different view of the database. • An external schema is also known as view schema. • Each view schema describes the database part that a particular user group is interested and hides the remaining database from that user group. • The view schema describes the end user interaction with database systems.
- 20. • There are basically two types of mapping in the database architecture: Internal Mapping External Mapping • Internal Mapping • The Internal Mapping lies between the conceptual level and the internal level. Its role is to define the correspondence between the records and fields of the conceptual level and files and data structures of the internal level. • External Mapping • The external Mapping lies between the external level and the Conceptual level. Its role is to define the correspondence between a particular external and the conceptual view.
