CASE (Computer Aided software Engineering)

- design databases and app programs - generate CODE to create the database

Databases may be more expensive to maintain than files because of:

- specialized personnel. - complex database environment. -backup and recovery needs.

DBMS Purpose

create data update data store data

Metadata

data that describes properties or characteristics and CONTEXT of end user data

Data warehouses

gather data from various databases and give users the opportunity to work with historical data to identify patterns and trends which is helpful for decision support.

Data Model

graphical system used to capture relationships among data

All of the following are primary purposes of a database management system (DBMS) EXCEPT: A. creating data. B. updating data. C. storing data D. providing an integrated development environment.

providing an integrated development environment.

Data independence

separation of data descriptions (METADATA) from Applications programs

RAD (Rapid application development)

software development methodology that uses minimal planning in favor of rapid prototyping. Apart of prototyping information system development approach prototyping
