What is a relational database? It is a database that stores the information about both data, for example for a person detail that is link with their car details that they have bought it from the company. The data and relationships are showed in an entity which is in a flat, two dimensional tables. We would use a relational database in a company such as a car company so when they want to store their customers information and what car did they buy, they use a relational database which stores the…

According to (Connolly, 2003) the database is “A shared collection of logically related data, and a description of this data, designed to meet the information needs of an organization”. The Database Management System (DBMS) is software that enables users to define, create, maintain and control access to the database. The database has identified three levels of abstraction. All these three levels will have different aspects and they are as follows: • Physical or external level- The database…

The Relational Database Framework The collection of information provides access to the network of the data-processing system. The representation consists vital information of real-time events. The objective requires managing personal cognizant comportment for integrating vital information. The standard utilizer and application (APP) program interface to a relational database is the Structured Query Language (SQL) (Codd, 2003-2016). The APP retrieves and supplies the information from the graph…

The rule for first normal form (1NF) is a table in which the intersection of every column and record contains only one value. In other words a table that contains more than one atomic value in the intersection of one or more column for one or more records is not in 1NF. The non 1NF table can be converted to 1NF by restructuring original table by removing the column with the multi-values along with a copy of the primary key to create a new table. See Figure 8.4 for an example of this approach.…

investigation. Continuous auditing has evolved from an academic theory to a process applied in practice (Vasarhelyi et al., 2012). With the advent of technology, continuous auditing has gained popularity, a survey conducted in 2006 by PricewaterhouseCoopers finds that about 50% of U.S firms currently use a continuous auditing…

Retrieval of data: Objects like Multimedia are very difficult to store, locate and more over this process needs a specialized software which is not available in relational DBMS. Maintenance of data: Conventional relational data are very efficient, but multimedia objects needs to maintain several versions of the data. Meanwhile it treats the whole object…

Caution No blank lines is allowed in the MongoDB Script Sampler. If there is a blank line after MongoDB statement, the statement will still be executed but the word “ok” will be displayed in the response. Add new document into the collection Step 1 Change the “Script” area of the MongoDB Script sampler with insert query. In this case, the query of adding document into the collection is shown as follows: db.getCollection('zips').insert({"city" : "BABYLON", "loc" : [ 32.211100, 44.251500 ],…

Process mapping the patient pathway Introduction and principle of process mapping Patient pathway has been described as a useful audit which looks at the patient journey in healthcare to identify problems faced by patients and therefore suggestions for improvements. ( BMJ 1 2 ). In essence it involves dividing the patient journey into small simple steps to assess and finds out what actually happens to the patient in this journey. It is a simple exercise which looks at what actually happens to…

Data integrity ensures that data is ultimately accurate. This is important when trying to analyze data that is stored in the database or data warehouse. Inaccurate data will lead to false results in reporting and analytics that will affect any business decisions that need to be made. When dealing with data integrity, having the full or complete set of data is a necessity. If only half or some of the data is entered than it cannot be considered accurate. There are several ways to ensure that data…

CRUD – Defining Information Ownership When developing and implementing a relational database, defining the information and users of the system enable definition of the business rules defining the components of the database management system. An example can be evaluated through the use of a CRUD – create, retrieve, update and delete – matrix as it relates to student information and the individuals or departments related to the school that may require access. The resulting model will be used to…
