Dedication To the treasures in my life: To Victoria, for 26 wonderful years. Thank you for your un- ending support, for being my angel, my sweetie, and most importantly, my best friend. To Carlos Anthony, who is an awesome older brother to all. Thank you for your words of wisdom, hard-working attitude, and for giving us reasons to be happy. You are still young; your best times are still to come. To Gabriela Victoria, who is the image of bril- liance, beauty, and faithfulness. Thank you for being the sunshine in my cloudy days. Your future is bright and endless. To Christian Javier, who is smarter than of all of us. Thank you for being the youthful reminder of life’s simple beauties. Keep challenging yourself to new highs. To my parents, Sarah and Carlos, thank you for your sacrifice and example. To all of you, you are all my inspiration. “TQTATA.”

Carlos Coronel

To Pamela, from high school sweetheart through 26 years of marriage, you are the beau- tiful love of my life who has supported, encouraged, and inspired me. More than anyone else, you are responsible for whatever successes I have achieved. To my son, Alexander Logan, your depth of character is without measure. You are my pride and joy. To my daughter, Lauren Elizabeth, your beauty and intensity take my breath away. You are my heart and soul. Thank you all for the sacrifices you have made that enabled me to pur- sue this dream. I love you so much more than I can express. To my mother, Florence Maryann, and to the memory of my father, Alton Lamar, together they instilled in me the desire to learn and the passion to achieve. To my mother-in-law, Connie Duke, and to the memory of my father-in-law, Wayne Duke, they taught me to find joy in all things. To all of you, with all my love, I dedicate this book.

Steven Morris

For Peter To longtime colleague and friend, Peter Rob: Your drive and dedication to your students started this book. Your depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and pursuit of excellence made it succeed. Your patience and guidance continue to light our path. It is our sincere hope that, as we move forward, we can continue to live up to your standard. Enjoy your retirement, my friend; you have surely earned it.

xiv Preface

It is our great pleasure to present the twelfth edition of Database Systems. We are grateful and humbled that so many of our colleagues around the world have chosen this text to support their classes. We wrote the first edition of this book because we wanted to explain the complexity of database systems in a language that was easy for students to understand. Over the years, we have maintained this emphasis on reaching out to students to explain complex concepts in a practical, approachable manner. This book has been successful through eleven editions because the au- thors, editors, and the publisher paid attention to the impact of technology and to adopter ques- tions and suggestions. We believe that this twelfth edition successfully reflects the same attention to such factors.

In many respects, rewriting a book is more difficult than writing it the first time. If the book is successful, as this one is, a major concern is that the updates, inserts, and deletions will adversely affect writing style and continuity of coverage. The combination of superb reviewers and editors, plus a wealth of feedback from adopters and students of the previous editions, helped make this new edition the best yet.

Changes to The Twelfth Edition In this twelfth edition, we added some new features and reorganized some coverage to provide a better flow of material. Aside from enhancing the already strong coverage of database design, we made other improvements in the topical coverage. In particular, the continued growth of Big Data and NoSQL technologies have challenged the status quo in the database industry. Therefore, we created an entire new chapter, Big Data Analytics and NoSQL, to help students grasp the key aspects of these complex new technologies and challenges. The twelfth edition also presents a ma- jor step forward in the integration of digital content with the text through online, automatically graded exercises to improve student outcomes. Here are a few of the highlights of changes in the twelfth edition: • New coverage of Big Data challenges beyond the traditional 3Vs • Expanded coverage of Hadoop, the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), and MapReduce • Updated coverage of cloud data services and their impact on DBAs • Expanded coverage of NoSQL databases, including key-value databases, document databases,

column-oriented database, and graph databases • New coverage of the emerging NewSQL technologies • Improved coverage of data visualization • Added coverage of new sequence and identity capabilities in Oracle and SQL Server • Complete redesign of the look and feel of the text and layout to improve readability and visual

appeal • Embedded key term definitions within the text

This twelfth edition continues to provide a solid and practical foundation for the design, im- plementation, and management of database systems. This foundation is built on the notion that, while databases are very practical, their successful creation depends on understanding the im- portant concepts that define them. It’s not easy to come up with the proper mix of theory and practice, but the previously mentioned feedback suggests that we largely succeeded in our quest to maintain the proper balance.

Preface xv

The Approach: A Continued Emphasis On Design As the title suggests, Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management covers three broad aspects of database systems. However, for several important reasons, special attention is given to database design. • The availability of excellent database software enables people with little experience to cre-

ate databases and database applications. Unfortunately, the “create without design” approach usually paves the road to a number of database disasters. In our experience, many database system failures are traceable to poor design and cannot be solved with the help of even the best programmers and managers. Nor is better DBMS software likely to overcome problems created or magnified by poor design. Even the best bricklayers and carpenters can’t create a good building from a bad blueprint.

• Most vexing problems of database system management seem to be triggered by poorly de- signed databases. It hardly seems worthwhile to use scarce resources to develop excellent da- tabase management skills merely to use them on crises induced by poorly designed databases.

• Design provides an excellent means of communication. Clients are more likely to get what they need when database system design is approached carefully and thoughtfully. In fact, clients may discover how their organizations really function once a good database design is completed.

• Familiarity with database design techniques promotes understanding of current database technologies. For example, because data warehouses derive much of their data from opera- tional databases, data warehouse concepts, structures, and procedures make more sense when the operational database’s structure and implementation are understood.

Because the practical aspects of database design are stressed, we have covered design concepts and procedures in detail, making sure that the numerous end-of-chapter problems and cases are sufficiently challenging so students can develop real and useful design skills. We also make sure that students understand the potential and actual conflicts between database design elegance, information requirements, and transaction processing speed. For example, it makes little sense to design databases that meet design elegance standards while they fail to meet end-user informa- tion requirements. Therefore, we explore the use of carefully defined trade-offs to ensure that the databases meet end-user requirements while conforming to high design standards.

Topical Coverage The Systems View The book’s title begins with Database Systems. There- fore, we examine the database and design concepts covered in Chapters 1–6 as part of a larger whole by placing them within the systems analysis framework of Chapter 9. Database designers who fail to understand that the database is part of a larger system are likely to overlook important design requirements. In fact, Chapter 9, Database Design, provides the map for the advanced database design developed in Appendixes B and C. Within the larger systems framework, we can also explore issues such as transaction management and concurrency control (Chapter 10), distributed da- tabase management systems (Chapter 12), business in- telligence and data warehouses (Chapter 13), database connectivity and web technologies (Chapter 15), and database administration and security (Chapter 16).

xvi Preface

Database Design The first item in the book’s subtitle is Design, and our examination of database design is comprehensive. For example, Chapters 1 and 2 examine the development and future of databases and data models, and illustrate the need for design. Chapter 3 examines the details of the relational database model; Chapter 4 provides ex- tensive, in-depth, and practical database design cover- age; and Chapter 5 explores advanced database design topics. Chapter 6 is devoted to critical normalization issues that affect database efficiency and effectiveness. Chapter 9 examines database design within the systems framework and maps the activities required to success- fully design and implement the complex, real-world database developed in Appendixes B and C. Appendix A, Designing Databases with Visio Professional: A Tu- torial, provides a good introductory tutorial for the use of a database design tool.

Because database design is affected by real-world transactions, the way data is distributed, and ever-in- creasing information requirements, we examine major database features that must be supported in current-gen- eration databases and models. For example, Chapter 10, Transaction Management and Concurrency Control, focuses on the characteristics of database transactions and how they affect database integrity and consistency. Chapter 11, Database Performance Tuning and Query

Optimization, illustrates the need for query efficiency in a world that routinely generates and uses tera- byte-size databases and tables with millions of records. Chapter 12, Distributed Database Management Systems, focuses on data distribution, replication, and allocation. In Chapter 13, Business Intelligence and Data Warehouses, we explore the characteristics of databases that are used in decision support and online analytical processing. Chapter 14, Big Data Analytics and NoSQL, explores the challenges of designing nonrelational databases to use vast global stores of unstructured data. Chapter 15, Database Connectivity and Web Technologies, covers the basic database connectivity issues in a web-based data world, development of web-based database front ends, and emerging cloud-based services.

Implementation The second portion of the subtitle is Implementation. We use Structured Query Language (SQL) in Chap- ters 7 and 8 to show how relational databases are implemented and managed. Appendix M, Microsoft Access Tutorial, provides a quick but comprehensive guide to implementing an MS Access database. Ap- pendixes B and C demonstrate the design of a da- tabase that was fully implemented; these appendix- es illustrate a wide range of implementation issues. We had to deal with conflicting design goals: design elegance, information requirements, and operation- al speed. Therefore, we carefully audited the initial design in Appendix B to check its ability to meet end-user needs and establish appropriate implemen- tation protocols. The result of this audit yielded the fi- nal design developed in Appendix C. While relational databases are still the appropriate database technolo- gy to use in the vast majority of situations, Big Data issues have created an environment in which special

Chapter 9 Database Design

In this chapter, you will learn: • That a sound database design is the foundation for a successful information system, and that the

database design must reflect the information system of which the database is a part • That successful information systems are developed within a framework known as the Systems

Development Life Cycle (SDLC) • That within the information system, the most successful databases are subject to frequent

evaluation and revision within a framework known as the Database Life Cycle (DBLC) • How to conduct evaluation and revision within the SDLC and DBLC frameworks • About database design strategies: top-down versus bottom-up design and centralized versus

decentralized design

Preview Databases are a part of a larger picture called an information system. Database designs that fail to recognize this fact are not likely to be successful. Database designers must rec- ognize that the database is a critical means to an end rather than an end in itself. Managers want the database to serve their management needs, but too many databases seem to force managers to alter their routines to fit the database requirements.

Information systems don’t just happen; they are the product of a carefully staged devel- opment process. Systems analysis is used to determine the need for an information system and to establish its limits. Within systems analysis, the actual information system is cre- ated through a process known as systems development.

The creation and evolution of information systems follows an iterative pattern called the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which is a continuous process of creation, maintenance, enhancement, and replacement of the information system. A similar cycle applies to databases: the database is created, maintained, enhanced, and eventually replaced. The Database Life Cycle (DBLC) is carefully traced in this chapter, and is shown in the context of the larger Systems Development Life Cycle.

At the end of the chapter, you will be introduced to some classical approaches to data- base design: top-down versus bottom-up and centralized versus decentralized.

Because it is purely conceptual, this chapter does not reference any data files.

requirements can call for the use of new, nonrela- tional technologies. Chapter 14, Big Data Analyt- ics and NoSQL, describes the types of data that are appropriate for these new technologies and the ar- ray of options available in these special cases. The special issues encountered in an Internet database environment are addressed in Chapter 15, Database Connectivity and Web Technologies, and in Appen- dix J, Web Database Development with ColdFusion.

Management The final portion of the subtitle is Management. We deal with database management issues in Chapter 10, Transaction Management and Concurrency Control; Chapter 12, Distributed Database Man- agement Systems; and Chapter 16, Database Ad- ministration and Security. Chapter 11, Database Performance Tuning and Query Optimization, is a valuable resource that illustrates how a DBMS man- ages data retrieval. In addition, Appendix N, Cre- ating a New Database Using Oracle 12c, walks you through the process of setting up a new database.

Teaching Database: A Matter of Focus Given the wealth of detailed coverage, instructors can “mix and match” chapters to produce the desired coverage. Depending on where database courses fit into the curriculum, instructors may choose to emphasize database design or database management. (See Figure 1.)

The hands-on nature of database design lends itself particularly well to class projects in which students use instructor-selected software to prototype a system that they design for the end user. Several end-of-chapter problems are sufficiently complex to serve as projects, or an instructor may work with local businesses to give students hands-on experience. Note that some elements of the database design track are also found in the database management track, because it is difficult to manage database technologies that are not well understood.

The options shown in Figure 1 serve only as a starting point. Naturally, instructors will tailor their coverage based on their specific course requirements. For example, an instructor may decide to make Appendix I an outside reading assignment and make Appendix A a self-taught tutori- al, and then use that time to cover client/server systems or object-oriented databases. The latter choice would serve as a gateway to UML coverage.

Notes highlights important facts about the concepts introduced in the chapter. A null is no value at all. It does not mean a zero or a space. A null is created when you press

the Enter key or the Tab key to move to the next entry without making an entry of any kind. Pressing the Spacebar creates a blank (or a space).

Acknowledgments xxiii

Regardless of how many editions of this book are published, they will always rest on the solid foundation created by the first edition. We remain convinced that our work has become successful because that first edition was guided by Frank Ruggirello, a former Wadsworth senior editor and publisher. Aside from guiding the book’s development, Frank also managed to solicit the great Peter Keen’s evaluation (thankfully favorable) and subsequently convinced Peter Keen to write the foreword for the first edition. Although we sometimes found Frank to be an especially demanding taskmaster, we also found him to be a superb professional and a fine friend. We suspect Frank will still see his fingerprints all over our current work. Many thanks.

A difficult task in rewriting a book is deciding what new approaches, topical coverage, and changes to depth of coverage are appropriate for a product that has successfully weathered the test of the marketplace. The comments and suggestions made by the book’s adopters, students, and reviewers play a major role in deciding what coverage is desirable and how that coverage is to be treated.

Some adopters became extraordinary reviewers, providing incredibly detailed and well-rea- soned critiques even as they praised the book’s coverage and style. Dr. David Hatherly, a superb database professional who is a senior lecturer in the School of Information Technology, Charles Sturt University–Mitchell, Bathhurst, Australia, made sure that we knew precisely what issues led to his critiques. Even better for us, he provided the suggestions that made it much easier for us to improve the topical coverage in earlier editions. All of his help was given freely and without prompting on our part. His efforts are much appreciated, and our thanks are heartfelt.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to Professor Emil T. Cipolla, who teaches at St. Mary College. Professor Cipolla’s wealth of IBM experience turned out to be a valuable resource when we tack- led the embedded SQL coverage in Chapter 8.

Every technical book receives careful scrutiny by several groups of reviewers selected by the publisher. We were fortunate to face the scrutiny of reviewers who were superbly qualified to of- fer their critiques, comments, and suggestions—many of which strengthened this edition. While holding them blameless for any remaining shortcomings, we owe these reviewers many thanks for their contributions:

we could have hoped for in a development editor and more. Deb has been our editor for al- most all the editions of this book, and the quality of her work shows in the attention to detail and the cohesiveness and writing style of the material in this book.

• After writing so many books and twelve editions of this book, we know just how difficult it can be to transform the authors’ work into an attractive product. The production team, both at Cengage Learning (Nadia Saloom) and Cenveo Publisher Services (Saravanakumar Dharman), have done an excellent job.

• We also owe Jennifer King and Ted Knight, our Content Developers, special thanks for their ability to guide this book to a successful conclusion.

We also thank our students for their comments and suggestions. They are the reason for writing this book in the first place. One comment stands out in particular: “I majored in systems for four years, and I finally discovered why when I took your course.” And one of our favorite comments by a former student was triggered by a question about the challenges created by a real-world in- formation systems job: “Doc, it’s just like class, only easier. You really prepared me well. Thanks!”

Special thanks go to a very unique and charismatic gentleman. For over 20 years, Peter Rob has been the driving force behind the creation and evolution of this book. This book originated as a product of his drive and dedication to excellence. For over 22 years, he was the voice of Database Systems and the driving force behind its advancement. We wish him peace in his retirement, time with his loved ones, and luck on his many projects.

Last, and certainly not least, we thank our families for their solid support at home. They gra- ciously accepted the fact that during more than a year’s worth of rewriting, there would be no free weekends, rare free nights, and even rarer free days. We owe you much, and the dedications we wrote are but a small reflection of the important space you occupy in our hearts.

Chapter 1 Database Systems

In this chapter, you will learn: • The difference between data and information • What a database is, the various types of databases, and why they are valuable assets for

decision making • The importance of database design • How modern databases evolved from file systems • About flaws in file system data management • The main components of the database system • The main functions of a database management system (DBMS)

Preview Organizations use data to keep track of their day-to-day operations. Such data is used to generate information, which in turn is the basis for good decisions. Data is likely to be managed most efficiently when it is stored in a database. Databases are involved in almost all facets and activities of our daily lives: from school, to work, to medical care, govern- ment, nonprofit organizations, and houses of worship. In this chapter, you will learn what a database is, what it does, and why it yields better results than other data management methods. You will also learn about various types of databases and why database design is so important.

Databases evolved from computer file systems. Although file system data management is now largely outmoded, understanding the characteristics of file systems is important because file systems are the source of serious data management limitations. In this chap- ter, you will also learn how the database system approach helps eliminate most of the shortcomings of file system data management.

Chapter 1 Database Systems 3

Data is not only ubiquitous and pervasive, it is essential for organizations to survive and prosper. Imagine trying to operate a business without knowing who your customers are, what products you are selling, who is working for you, who owes you money, and to whom you owe money. All businesses have to keep this type of data and much more. Just as important, they must have that data available to decision makers when necessary. It can be argued that the ultimate purpose of all business information systems is to help businesses use information as an organizational resource. At the heart of all of these systems are the collection, storage, aggregation, manipulation, dissemination, and man- agement of data.

Depending on the type of information system and the characteristics of the busi- ness, this data could vary from a few megabytes on just one or two topics to terabytes covering hundreds of topics within the business’s internal and external environment.

1-1 Why Databases? So, why do we need databases? In today’s world, data is ubiquitous (abundant, global, every- where) and pervasive (unescapable, prevalent, persistent). From birth to death, we generate and consume data. The trail of data starts with the birth certificate and continues all the way to a death certificate (and beyond!). In between, each individual produces and consumes enormous amounts of data. As you will see in this book, databases are the best way to store and manage data. Databases make data persistent and shareable in a secure way. As you look at Figure 1.1, can you identify some of the data generated by your own daily activities?

4 Part 1 Database Concepts

Telecommunications companies, such as Sprint and AT&T, are known to have systems that keep data on trillions of phone calls, with new data being added to the system at speeds up to 70,000 calls per second! Not only do these companies have to store and man- age immense collections of data, they have to be able to find any given fact in that data quickly. Consider the case of Internet search staple Google. While Google is reluctant to disclose many details about its data storage specifications, it is estimated that the company responds to over 91 million searches per day across a collection of data that is several terabytes in size. Impressively, the results of these searches are available almost instantly.

How can these businesses process this much data? How can they store it all, and then quickly retrieve just the facts that decision makers want to know, just when they want to know it? The answer is that they use databases. Databases, as explained in detail through- out this book, are specialized structures that allow computer-based systems to store, manage, and retrieve data very quickly. Virtually all modern business systems rely on databases. Therefore, a good understanding of how these structures are created and their proper use is vital for any information systems professional. Even if your career does not take you down the amazing path of database design and development, databases will be a key component of the systems that you use. In any case, you will probably make decisions in your career based on information generated from data. Thus, it is important that you know the difference between data and information.

1-2 Data versus Information To understand what drives database design, you must understand the difference between data and information. Data consists of raw facts. The word raw indicates that the facts have not yet been processed to reveal their meaning. For example, suppose that a uni- versity tracks data on faculty members for reporting to accrediting bodies. To get the data for each faculty member into the database, you would provide a screen to allow for convenient data entry, complete with drop-down lists, combo boxes, option buttons, and other data-entry validation controls. Figure 1.2(a) shows a simple data-entry form from a software package named Sedona. When the data is entered into the form and saved, it is placed in the underlying database as raw data, as shown in Figure 1.2(b). Although you now have the facts in hand, they are not particularly useful in this format. Reading through hundreds of rows of data for faculty members does not provide much insight into the overall makeup of the faculty. Therefore, you transform the raw data into a data summary like the one shown in Figure 1.2(c). Now you can get quick answers to questions such as “What percentage of the faculty in the Information Systems (INFS) department are adjuncts?” In this case, you can quickly determine that 20 percent of the INFS faculty members are adjunct faculty. Because graphics can enhance your ability to quickly extract meaning from data, you show the data summary pie chart in Figure 1.2(d).

Information is the result of processing raw data to reveal its meaning. Data process- ing can be as simple as organizing data to reveal patterns or as complex as making fore- casts or drawing inferences using statistical modeling. To reveal meaning, information requires context. For example, an average temperature reading of 105 degrees does not mean much unless you also know its context: Is this reading in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius? Is this a machine temperature, a body temperature, or an outside air tempera- ture? Information can be used as the foundation for decision making. For example, the data summary for the faculty can provide accrediting bodies with insights that are useful in determining whether to renew accreditation for the university.

Keep in mind that raw data must be properly formatted for storage, processing, and presentation. For example, dates might be stored in Julian calendar formats within the data- base, but displayed in a variety of formats, such as day-month-year or month/day/year, for

data Raw facts, or facts that have not yet been processed to reveal their meaning to the end user.

different purposes. Respondents’ yes/no responses might need to be converted to a Y/N or 0/1 format for data storage. More complex formatting is required when working with com- plex data types, such as sounds, videos, or images.

In this “information age,” production of accurate, relevant, and timely information is the key to good decision making. In turn, good decision making is the key to business survival in a global market. We are now said to be entering the “knowledge age.”1

Data is the foundation of information, which is the bedrock of knowledge—that is, the body of information and facts about a specific subject. Knowledge implies familiarity, awareness, and understanding of information as it applies to an envi- ronment. A key characteristic of knowledge is that “new” knowledge can be derived from “old” knowledge.

Let’s summarize some key points: • Data constitutes the building blocks of information. • Information is produced by processing data. • Information is used to reveal the meaning of data. • Accurate, relevant, and timely information is the key to good decision making. • Good decision making is the key to organizational survival in a global environment.

6 Part 1 Database Concepts

Timely and useful information requires accurate data. Such data must be properly gen- erated and stored in a format that is easy to access and process. In addition, like any basic resource, the data environment must be managed carefully. Data management is a disci- pline that focuses on the proper generation, storage, and retrieval of data. Given the crucial role that data plays, it should not surprise you that data management is a core activity for any business, government agency, service organization, or charity.

1-3 Introducing the Database Efficient data management typically requires the use of a computer database. A database is a shared, integrated computer structure that stores a collection of the following: • End-user data—that is, raw facts of interest to the end user • Metadata, or data about data, through which the end-user data is integrated and

managed The metadata describes the data characteristics and the set of relationships that links

the data found within the database. For example, the metadata component stores infor- mation such as the name of each data element, the type of values (numeric, dates, or text) stored on each data element, and whether the data element can be left empty. The meta- data provides information that complements and expands the value and use of the data. In short, metadata presents a more complete picture of the data in the database. Given the characteristics of metadata, you might hear a database described as a “collection of self-describing data.”
