Program Plan Intro
Relational
- A database Management System is a software application for managing the database in a well-organized form.
- It provides a systematic way to create, retrieve and update the database.
- In DBMS, the schema explains the logical structure of the data base system.
- It provides the capability to the user to self-analyze the database and perform the necessary operations.
- A relational database comprises of rectangular tables known as relations.
- Every row in relation is known as tuple.
- Each column in table is termed as field or attribute.
- It describes the characteristics of entity represented by corresponding tuple.
Relational database design process:
- It is designed to meet requirements of particular application.
- There are no two databases that are alike.
- The design choice is based on user preference.
- The steps used in this process includes:
- Step 1 – Define the database purpose
- Step 2 – Gather data and organize in table
- Step 3 – Refine and normalize design, it includes adding columns, creating new relation and splitting large relation into smaller relations.

- A well-structured database starts from an effective Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). For this part of the question, you will need to sketch an ERD for the following gym scenario: A member must have a member ID, name and contact number, can be enrolled in one or more gym session. A gym session can be enrolled in by one or more members. Each gym session is identified by a session ID, and has a name, date and instructor details (Instructor ID). An instructor has an instructor ID, name and contact number, and must only be assigned to one gym session. A gym session can have one or more instructors assigned in it.” *show entities, relationship types and cardinalities.
