application. Specifically, this report investigates the use of relational database design versus the no-SQL model as the preferred basis of the new application.
The requirements to consider are:
1. Intensive Usage – Facebook has millions of users worldwide and produce billions of transactions.
2. Growth of the application is expected to be 10% per annum.
3.2 Definitions
It is important to look at the key characteristics of these two different models in order to understand the conclusions of this report.
3.2.1 Relational Database Management Systems These systems are characterised by:
• A highly structured design held together by a database schema that consists: o Data pairs are stored as tuples within separate relations that are unique within the relation. o Tuples are identified uniquely with a key. o Tuples of a relation are connected to another tuple(s).
• Retrieval of data is achieved by a declarative programming language – SQL.
• The database is managed by a DBMS that provides for data retrieval (above), storage management, and transaction management.
• Operations are organised into transactions that are "atomic" units that must complete in whole or not at all.

3.2.2 No-SQL
It is easier to compare no-SQL systems to the characteristics of traditional relational databases because they have evolved from them. No-SQL models can be characterised by:
• There is no real schema because the design to the
A Database Management System or (DBMS) is an essential tool for any organization or company in today’s modern world. A DBMS is “a group of programs that manipulate the database and provide an interface between the database and its users and other application programs” (Stair & Reynolds, 2011, p. 189). So in choosing the right DBMS there are many factoring issues with choosing the right one for the company or organization. When choosing a DBMS one has to think about how the system will ultimately help the company or organization with day to day processes and the goals of the company or organization.
This must be in your own words and not copied and pasted from the original source. Include the purpose of the database and the subject matter it covers. This may be four or five sentences; and
1) Before using any DBMS, the creators should have created a data model from the users' requirements.
In "The Summer Mariposas" (by Guadalupe Garcia McCall), Odilia's special characteristic is her sneakiness. The reason why it's her sneakiness because after they leave Ines house Odila tries to buy newspapers after seeing that the other girls/sister are the ones that have been reported missing. She buys them so that the other sisters don't find out, so they don't get scared. To prove why she is sneaky in the text it states that"I had to buy all the newspapers at the puertecito and put them in the trunk of our car so nobody else would see them"(chapter 8,23) It shows that odilia tried hiding all the news papers from the sisters so they don't get scared or find out they were reported missing.
There are several important steps to consider when designing a database, as a well-designed database should be deployed and not only support the accuracy and integrity of business information but also avoid redundant data and assist with has enterprise level reporting tasked. If we analyze the

Data objects can model relational data or advanced data types such as graphics, movies, and audio. Smalltalk, C++, Java, and others are objects used in object-oriented data. The object-relational is a combination of relational and object-oriented databases. Traditional and advanced data types can be used to construct database management systems. These systems can connect to a company’s website and update records as needed. Database Approach The main purpose of a database is data storage that can be stored and retrieved when needed. A popular common language called structured query language (SQL) is used to store and retrieve data in relational database. This language enables the systems to run a report or modify data or remove the data from the database. A database management system (DBMS) controls all aspects of a database, this is not limited to the creation, maintenance, and use of database. The DBMS ensures proper applications are able to access the database. An important purpose of a DBMS is to maintain the data definitions (data dictionary) for all the data elements in the database. It also enforces data integrity and security measures. Data Models Data models provide a contextual framework and graphical representation that aid in the definition of data elements. In a relational database, the data model lays the foundation for the database and identifies important entities,
In 1977, Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates founded System Development Laboratories. After being inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher titled “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” they decided to build a new type of database called a relational database system. The original project on the relational database system was for the government (Central
This paper will compare and contrast five different database management systems on six criteria. The database management systems (DBMS) that will be discussed are SQL Server 2000, Access, MySQL, DB2, and Oracle. The criteria that will be compared are the systems’ functionality, the requirements that must be met to run the DBMS, the expansion capabilities – if it is able to expand to handle more data over time, the types of companies that typically use each one, the normal usage of the DBMS, and the costs associated with implementing the DBMS.
The idea of relational database was first introduced by E.F.Codd at IBM in 1970. It is a kind of computer database in which data is stored in Relations and is represented in the form of tables with rows and columns. Databases can vary in sizes, ranging from very small and simple to very large and complex ones. Database users can access the data practically in an unlimited number of ways. Relational databases help in finding the information in a quick and efficient manner that one is looking for.Today many popular databases use the model of relational database.

Having and using a relational database prevents the duplication of data. Instead of saving lots of information within one table, you could divide up the table into information, for example in a college database you might have some tables with pupil names, age and addresses in a primary field like a pupil ID number. The field could then be related to another table which could be enrolment as a pupil “enrols” onto a “course” which would then be linked on another table called “teacher” which would decide the “room” they would be teaching in. When the table is made it has to be connected to other tables to be made into a database. Databases help to maintain precision, availability, usability, flexibility in an organisation
The conceptual schema for patient care as illustration of all of the data types required to manage the health-care process, whether using a relational, a hierarchical, or a combination of database structural designs, or an object-oriented structural database design. The structural design of a database required to be able to provide rapid retrieval of information for differnt patients and have the proficiency to adapt to changing information needs of growth and new technology; yet the primary purpose of the database structural design was to instrument the conceptual schema. It is necessary to first develop a model of the database that defined its functional requirements, its technical requirements, and its structural design to properly build a database. A formal description is expected of the database model, a conceptual schema of all the data generated in the enterprise, and how all of the data were linked. Thus the users of a medical database are expected to define its practical necessities as to exactly what the database and its database-management system to do. Since a medical database usually a part of larger medical-information system, the functional requirements of the medical database needed to be well-matched with those of the medical enterprise of which it was a part. Whether a medical database
What is database management system? Database Management System is a database program. The DBMS manage incoming data, organize it, and provided ways for the data to be modified or extract by users or other programs. This cause, most database software comes with an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver that allows the database to integrate with other databases. For example, common SQL statements such as SELECT and INSERT are translated from a program's proprietary syntax into a syntax other databases can understand. Some DBMS examples include PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, FileMaker, RDBMS, dBASE, Clipper, and FoxPro. It is a software system that uses a standard method of retrieving, and running queries on data.
