Managing data is an important managerial task in any organisation. Accurate and relevant data is the source of valuable information. Sound management decisions can be made by managing data efficiently. For managing data effectively the traditional file environment is not appropriate choice so database management systems are used. A database management system (DBMS) is a computer software application that interacts with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyse data. This book provides plenty of examples and pictorial diagrams to explain the concepts of DBMS in simplified method. Some key topics covered are: Data and information, Components of DBMS, Database administrators, designers, end users, Concepts on data abstraction, schemas, instances, and data independence, Data models: Hierarchical, Network, Entity-relationship, Relational, Object-relational, E-R diagrams, roles, Specialization, generalization, Binary and non-binary relationships, Concept of NULL, Keys: Primary key, Super key, Candidate key, Foreign key etc., Integrity constrains, Relational Algebra and Relational Calculus, Codd’s 12 rules, Anomalies in databases, Dependencies: functional, full, partial, transitive, multivalued, and join, Closure and its uses, Canonical cover, Extraneous attributes, Decomposition, Normalization: first to fifth normal forms and Boyce-Codd normal form, SQL*Plus commands: CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, RENAME, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT, SELECT, GRANT and REVOKE, Storage media: Magnetic disk, RAID, File organization: Sequential, Indexed, B+-Tree, B-Tree, Hashing, PL/SQL: cursors, locks, error handling, triggers, package etc.

Database Management Systems: Understanding and Applying Database Technology focuses on the processes, methodologies, techniques, and approaches involved in database management systems (DBMSs). The book first takes a look at ANSI database standards and DBMS applications and components. Discussion focus on application components and DBMS components, implementing the dynamic relationship application, problems and benefits of dynamic relationship DBMSs, nature of a dynamic relationship application, ANSI/NDL, and DBMS standards. The manuscript then ponders on logical database, interrogation, and physical database. Topics include choosing the right interrogation language, procedure-oriented language, system control capabilities, DBMSs and language orientation, logical database components, and data definition language. The publication examines system control, including system control components, audit trails, reorganization, concurrent operations, multiple database processing, security and privacy, system control static and dynamic differences, and installation and maintenance. The text is a valuable source of information for computer engineers and researchers interested in exploring the applications of database technology.

Multimedia Database Management Systems presents the issues and the techniques used in building multimedia database management systems. Chapter 1 provides an overview of multimedia databases and underlines the new requirements for these applications. Chapter 2 discusses the techniques used for storing and retrieving multimedia objects. Chapter 3 presents the techniques used for generating metadata for various media objects. Chapter 4 examines the mechanisms used for storing the index information needed for accessing different media objects. Chapter 5 analyzes the approaches for modeling media objects, both their temporal and spatial characteristics. Object-oriented approach, with some additional features, has been widely used to model multimedia information. The book discusses two systems that use object-oriented models: OVID (Object Video Information Database) and Jasmine. The models for representing temporal and spatial requirements of media objects are then studied. The book also describes authoring techniques used for specifying temporal and spatial characteristics of multimedia databases. Chapter 6 explains different types of multimedia queries, the methodologies for processing them and the language features for describing them. The features offered by query languages such as SQL/MM (Structured Query Language for Multimedia), PICQUERY+, and Video SQL are also studied. Chapter 7 deals with the communication requirements for multimedia databases. A client accessing multimedia data over computer networks needs to identify a schedule for retrieving various media objects composing the database. The book identifies possible ways for generating a retrieval schedule. Chapter 8 ties together the techniques discussed in the previous chapters by providing a simple architecture of a distributed multimedia database management system. Multimedia Database Management Systems can be used as a text for graduate students and researchers working in the area of multimedia databases. In addition, the book serves as essential reading material for computer professionals who are in (or moving to) the area of multimedia databases.

Many books on Database Management Systems (DBMS) are available in the market, they are incomplete very formal and dry. My attempt is to make DBMS very simple so that a student feels as if the teacher is sitting behind him and guiding him. This text is bolstered with many examples and Case Studies. In this book, the experiments are also included which are to be performed in DBMS lab. Every effort has been made to alleviate the treatment of the book for easy flow of understanding of the students as well as the professors alike. This textbook of DBMS for all graduate and post-graduate programmes of Delhi University, GGSIPU, Rajiv Gandhi Technical University, UPTU, WBTU, BPUT, PTU and so on. The salient features of this book are: - 1. Multiple Choice Questions 2. Conceptual Short Questions 3. Important Points are highlighted / Bold faced. 4. Very lucid and simplified approach 5.Bolstered with numerous examples and CASE Studies 6. Experiments based on SQL incorporated. 7. DBMS Projects added Question Papers of various universities are also included.

The volume "Fuzziness in Database Management Systems" is a highly informative, well-organized and up-to-date collection of contributions authored by many of the leading experts in its field. Among the contributors are the editors, Professors Patrick Bose and Janusz Kacprzyk, both of whom are known internationally. The book is like a movie with an all-star cast. The issue of fuzziness in database management systems has a long history. It begins in 1968 and 1971, when I spent my sabbatical leaves at the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California, as a visiting scholar. During these periods I was associated with Dr. E.F. Codd, the father of relational models of database systems, and came in contact with the developers ofiBMs System Rand SQL. These associations and contacts at a time when the methodology of relational models of data was in its formative stages, made me aware of the basic importance of such models and the desirability of extending them to fuzzy database systems and fuzzy query languages. This perception was reflected in my 1973 ffiM report which led to the paper on the concept of a linguistic variable and later to the paper on the meaning representation language PRUF (Possibilistic Relational Universal Fuzzy). More directly related to database issues during that period were the theses of my students V. Tahani, J. Yang, A. Bolour, M. Shen and R. Sheng, and many subsequent reports by both graduate and undergraduate students at Berkeley.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of fundamentals of database management system. It contains a detailed description on Relational Database Management System Concepts.
