5 Preface If we look back to pre-database systems and the data units which were in use, we will establish a hierarchy starting with the concept of 'field' used to build 'records' which were in turn used to build higher data units such as 'files'. The file was considered to be the ultimate data unit of information processing and data binding 'monolith'. Moreover, predatabase systems were designed with one or more programming languages in mind and this in effect restricted independent development and modelling of the applications and associated storage structures. Database systems came along not to turn the above three units into outmoded concepts, but rather to extend them further by establishing a higher logical unit for data description and thereby offer high level data manipulation functions. It also becomes possible for computer professionals and other users to view all information processing needs of an organisation through an integrated, disciplined and methodical approach. So, database systems employ the concepts field, record and file without necessarily making them transparent to the user who is in effect offered a high level language to define data units and relationships, and another language to manipulate these. A major objective of database systems is to allow logical manipulations to be carried out independent of storage manipulations and vice versa. A rather accurate parallel between database systems and high level languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL and Pascal can be drawn here by stating that database systems form a natural progressive step from file systems in the way that high level languages form a natural progressive step from assembly or low level languages. The Data Base Management System (DBMS) is the software necessary to set up, manipulate and maintain the object database, that is, the data of the organisation including appropriate control information. Since the establishment of this higher concept and its acceptance by the computer community as the next step towards an even more advanced information processing environment, the market has been stocked with a plethora of books on the subject, its implications and application environments. However, few books are available for the person who has elementary knowledge of programming and who wishes to have a general introduction to database principles and at the
6 viii Preface same time acquire knowledge of current database management system software and the various levels at which it is utilised, independent of any vendor-related software. The present book tackles this and also discusses the database environment under the following major areas: (a) The logic behind database systems (b) The architecture of database systems and related software (c) How an entire organisation can be viewed with the aid of appropriate database software (d) How data can be defined and manipulated using database languages as well as natural language (e) Models which can describe an organisation accurately (f) Database design methodologies and techniques to bind record types together (g) Potential administrative and technical tasks to be performed. A recent development has been the automation of database design following analyses of the different 'views' (applications) users may have of the same centralised data. The technique used is termed 'canonical database synthesis', where all user views are merged into a single unit which reflects the inherent structure of organisational data. The ultimate objective is to aid the design of the 'logical database structure' which: (a) Is free from duplication (b) Is optimised to reflect the organisation accurately (c) Does not depend on specific vendor-software (d) Can satisfy new applications without major restructuring Canonical synthesis is presented here in a step-wise fashion with examples that illustrate the merging, analysis and grouping of user views to form closely related clusters of data elements. An algorithm for canonical sythesis has been implemented in Pascal and this is used to analyse a complete hospital database environment for a Regional Health Authority. Although the software we developed is not included in the book, the Appendix contains example reports it produces for the hospital database, starting with the input of user views followed by their processing and finally the design of the complete logical schema. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards Organisation (ISO) have adopted a new standard Relational Database Language (RDL) and a Network Database Language (NDL). Both RDL and NDL are presented here in their current form of development with our own extensions where appropriate, particularly for the definition of the storage structures. The book contains the syntax of the most important RDL and NDL commands for data definition and data manipulation functions. They are illustrated with simple examples that show the input, the statements the user actually types, and the end result. The ultimate objective of this book is to demystify database concepts and methodologies and at the same time explain in as simple a manner as possible, three important approaches to defining relationships among attributes: the 'hierarchical', 'network' and 'relational'.
7 Preface IX The emphasis is on the relational and network approaches to database management because they appear to be suitable for most data processing applications. Besides, we have not seen nor are we likely to see an international standard for the hierarchical approach to database design. The material includes ample examples and realistic attributes and relationships among these. It is presented in a rather laconic and synoptic fashion by avoiding unnecessary long introductions to the various concepts and by making direct, factual and precise statements on 'what it is', 'how it works' and 'how it can be applied'. The material can in fact be split into four parts: Part I The database environment and underlying data models (Chapters 1,2 and 3). Part II The architecture of database software and man-machine communication (Chapters 4 and 5). Part III Database design methodology (Chapters 6 and 7). Part IV The relational and network database architectures (Chapters 8 and 9). The concepts and method of presentation are completely independent of hardware and commercial software packages. The person who masters the material presented here will be in a strong position to judge and evaluate any type of database software, regardless of whether this is offered on a micro, mini or large mainframe. Moreover, the ISO database language discussed here will provide a yardstick for comparative assessment for some years to come. The book will be useful to all people who wish to acquire a working, sound and up to date knowledge on the subject, its terminology and method of application. Since it does not require any a priori knowledge of database systems but only simple programming principles, it is recommended to students taking A-level courses in computer studies, University undergraduates, postgraduates who may wish to use the DBMS as a tool for data manipulation, computer programmers who are about to commence programming under a DBMS, systems analysts who may wish to assess the feasability of introducing a DBMS into their organisation, and database administrators who wish to acquire sufficient and integrated knowledge on logical database architecture, associated structures and software modules, and technical tasks behind setting up and maintaining a database. Finally, data processing managers will find the material useful, particularly the terminological dictionary; most importantly, though, they will be able, identify and establish appropriate administrative posts for the effective maintenance of a database. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Chris Stoker (University of Bradford) for the assistance he has given me in the production of the canonical synthesis
