History of Database Technology Past and Present The term database was popularized with the growth of the computer industry and is typically thought of as software used to store, index, manipulate, and retrieve information (Vaughn). Database software has been in use since the Census Bureau used a punch card system to meet the requirements for the collection, sorting, and reporting of data for the 1890 census (National Research Council). These earliest databases were flat file databases. The flat-file
Aspects of Databases The concept of what is a database is not exactly taxing in theory, but sometimes it is difficult to visualise what one is. The easiest example that you will be aware of is that little book full of all your friends telephone numbers and addresses. For each of the entries you will record the name, address and telephone number of each person in the book. What you have done is to create a "record" of that person's details, so when you fill in one entry you create 1 record
by certain scholars, theatre historiography is an area that is thriving. Joseph Donohue, author of “Evidence and Documentation,” believes that the study of theatre history is a young discipline. However attention must be paid to scholar’s methods, theory and practice. In “Evidence and Documentation” Donohue sets out to prove that the theatre scholar’s attempt at citing evidence and proper documentation is severely problematic because the notion of what evidence and documentation means is flawed.
During my research, I discovered three database trends. The first trend bridges relational and non-rational databases together. The second trend offers databases in the cloud as a service. Lastly, the third trend is the focus for increased database security. Each trend aims to improve databases and the capabilities and services that they provide due to increasing demand and expanding needs. The author discusses while relational databases will be around for quite a while, their overall peak may
track of who has books and who doesn't, she also needs to be able to do this quickly and with ease. Possible solutions ================== Her possible solutions are: creating a database, a spreadsheet, a manual card system, or a written list of who has what. Disadvantages ============= Database and spreadsheet - Computer could break and information will be lost, someone could also hack into the system, also, if the system got a virus then the information could become damaged
The idea of multi-tenancy, or many tenants sharing resources, is a fundamental to cloud computing. It allows single instance of software to serve multiple organizations. SaaS requires sharing of application servers among multiple tenants for low operational costs. This paper discusses the concept of cloud computing in single tenant and multitenant environment. Multitenant applications are very useful for the increased utilization of hardware resources and improved ease of maintenance. Keywords:Cloud
Patient's records may be maintained on databases, so that quick searches can be made. But, even if the computer is very important, the facility must remain always in control all the information they store in a computer. This is because to avoid individuals who do not have a right to the patient's information. Below are some of general question: 1. Should corrections be date and time stamped? 2. When should the patient be advised of the existence of computerized databases containing medical information
Within the past decade, there has been a tremendous growing need for web servers and databases; also their related service and the two concepts have hit the headlines as the most researched knowledge domains in the technology sphere. Subsequently, this has revolutionized the way many people interact with one another through effective information sharing. This rapid spread and the management effectiveness of advanced technologies are establishing great opportunities for development of distributed
Description about the database:- Deductive database systems are database management systems which are basically designed around a logical model of data. In this type of database systems deductions are made based on the rules and facts stored in the database. We use a language called Datalog which are typically used to specify facts,rules and queries in database. Deductive Database is an advanced form of relational database. When we compare deductive database with relational database we can find that deductive
scripts are usually used in three main areas which are server-side scripting, command line scripting and writing desktop applications. Usually, PHP used to read data and information from databases, and to add or update the databases content. A single PHP template can be written to retrieve and display the databases records. PHP is a language developed by Rasmas Lerdorf which originally an abbreviation of “Personal Home Page (tools)” (Motive Glossary, 2004). PHP is a recursive programming where the
The Database Databases are becoming as common in the workplace as the stapler. Businesses use databases to keep track of payroll, vacations, inventory, and a multitude of other taske of which are to vast to mention here. Basically businesses use databases anytime a large amount of data must be stored in such a manor that it can easily be searched, categorized and recalled in different means that can be easily read and understood by the end user. Databases are used extensively where I work. In fact
application in the real world needs to interact with databases. Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is the Application Programming Interface (API) used to build Java applications that can interact with relational databases. There are many relational databases such as Oracle, My SQL, DB2, Java DB, Dbase, Sybase, Ingress, Informix, FoxPro and so on. The researcher will be able to use the four types of JDBC drivers to interact with any kind of database in the world. In this iteration, the researcher also
Databases and Y2K Introduction: Tremendous problems loom just around the corner for organizations that use two-digit years (i.e. 1-9-97). How tough could it be to change the year from 1999 to 2000? The "Year 2000 Problem" cannot be fixed by simply resetting a computer's internal clock on January 1, 2000. Computers may be smart, but their programmers weren't very farsighted. In the '60s and '70s, many businesses were looking to cut costs and because computer storage space was expensive
almost as a score card of all the events, and non-events occurring around. But this data is useless unless its vast resource can be tapped for further use. That is easier said than even attempted. When it comes to large quantities of data, traditional database extraction tools provide very limited access to this formidable quantity of Big data. To make the best of the seemingly untappable resource, a new field of data extraction, visualization, management and manipulation has come about – Data Analytics

Why Did Nationwide need an enterprise-wide data warehouse? Nationwide is large mutual insurance company with variety of products. They had each business units operating on their own by leveraging multiple different technology platforms. Data was collected and stored in different forms and structures. They suffered with data redundancy and high operational & maintenance costs. With data being spread across multiple stores, it was nearly impossible to generate analytics and take strategic decisions
obviously, comes the human services database. A database is any gathering of information composed for capacity, openness, and recovery. There are diverse sorts of databases, however the sort most normally utilized as a part of social insurance is the OLTP (online exchange handling) database. A social insurance database serves to supplant the paper archives, record organizers, and file organizers of old. The information is presently more helpful and quick. This database is one that a solitary PC application
