  • Spatial Database Systems Lecture 1 Ft Okyere Differences Between a Database Management System and a File-Processing System
    SPATIAL DATABASE SYSTEMS LECTURE 1 FT OKYERE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND A FILE-PROCESSING SYSTEM 1. BOTH SYSTEMS CONTAIN A COLLECTION OF DATA AND A SET OF PROGRAMS WHICH ACCESS THAT DATA. A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM COORDINATES BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND THE LOGICAL ACCESS TO THE DATA, WHEREAS A FILE- PROCESSING SYSTEM COORDINATES ONLY THE PHYSICAL ACCESS. 2. A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF DATA DUPLICATION BY ENSURING THAT A PHYSICAL PIECE OF DATA IS AVAILABLE TO ALL PROGRAMS AUTHORIZED TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT, WHEREAS DATA WRITTEN BY ONE PROGRAM IN A FILE-PROCESSING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE READABLE BY ANOTHER PROGRAM. 3. A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW FLEXIBLE ACCESS TO DATA (I.E., QUERIES), WHEREAS A FILE- PROCESSING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW PREDETERMINED ACCESS TO DATA (I.E., COMPILED PROGRAMS). 4. A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO COORDINATE MULTIPLE USERS ACCESSING THE SAME DATA AT THE SAME TIME. A FILE-PROCESSING SYSTEM IS USUALLY DESIGNED TO ALLOW ONE OR MORE PROGRAMS TO ACCESS DIFFERENT DATA FILES AT THE SAME TIME. IN A FILE-PROCESSING SYSTEM, A FILE CAN BE ACCESSED BY TWO PROGRAMS CONCURRENTLY ONLY IF BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE READ-ONLY ACCESS TO THE FILE FILE LOCKING • FILE LOCKING IS A MECHANISM THAT RESTRICTS ACCESS TO A COMPUTER FILE BY ALLOWING ONLY ONE USER OR PROCESS ACCESS AT ANY SPECIFIC TIME. • A RACE CONDITION IS AN UNDESIRABLE SITUATION THAT OCCURS WHEN A DEVICE OR SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO PERFORM TWO OR MORE OPERATIONS AT THE SAME TIME, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE DEVICE OR SYSTEM, THE OPERATIONS MUST BE DONE IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE TO BE DONE CORRECTLY.
