Database Connectivity and uses:
- Database connectivity includes the application programs used for communicating with storage device like database repository.
- It has the information of both software application and hardware database and thereby, it is also known as database middleware.
- The data repository which is a data management application is used for storing the applications, data and information required.
- The data repository can be located anywhere in the database in the form of relational database, hierarchical database, spreadsheet or text.
- It has the ability of creating database structures on storage requirements.
- It has complex structures which can be accessed by multi-users.
- It stores the data definitions and Metadata in a directory or dictionary and the changes made to that definitions and Metadata will be automatically updated in directory or dictionary.
- It has the ability of performing data backup and recovery which assures the data safety.
- It represents the usability of data and the data is affected only in allowed ways during the database transaction.
- Data independence is the ability of accessing the programs which are independent of storage characteristics of data.
- In multiprogramming, the users are allowed to complete the tasks simultaneously without effecting the other transactions.
