Basic Concept of Database


Data: Data is sequence of digit. It is raw materials of information.
System: Some related things make a system. System is divided three steps.
(1)               Input
(2)               Processing
(3)               Output
Data Dictionary: Data Dictionary is a file which content the primary description of information of data file data under database.
Data Structure: The process of arranging databy many way is called data structure.
The flowing are data structure
(1)               Array
(2)               Record
(3)               Stack
(4)               Queue
(5)               Tree
(6)               Linked List
Array: Array means class Arranging same kinds of data is called Array. There are three kinds of array
  1. One Dimensional Array
  2. Two Dimensional Array
  3. Three Dimensional Array
Record: The collection of some field is called record.
Stack: Stack is one kinds of data structure where LIFO (Last in First Out) process is flowed.
Queue: Queue mean line or row. In this structure Last kept data use first. This system is Called FIFO
Tree: In this structure data are input hierarchically.
Pointer: Pointer is an indicator in data structure pointer use to speed up the computer.
String: Combination of some ward is string such as Karim, Rahim, Masud, Dhaka etc.
String Variable: If Variable will be ward is Called String. Normally First character of field name is string which express by first character with $ Sign
Entity: Each record in he data file of database is called entity.
Attribute: Each field in record of data file of database is called Attribute.
4GL: Forth Generation Language. The Database management language is called Forth Generation Language.
  • Characteristics of RDMS
  1. We can find the information by different condition
  2. We can create customize form to input data
Data Schema: The over all Design of database is called database Schema.
Database Schema: Data management system has special language which is called database language.
There are two kinds of database language.
  1. Procedural language
  2. Non – procedural language
DML: The language of DBMS by which data can be manipulated in the Database.
DDL: By this language describe data schema definitely by expressing a expressing a set of definition.
Procedural DML: In this language system the user define data will be store what kind of database and how can retrieve that data.
Non – Procedural Language: In this Language system the user only define data will be store what types of database but no need to define how data will be retrieve.

Topology



The logical and physical collection of computer in a network is called  topology .Topology means now a days physical topology .
Classifications are :
a.      Bus topology
b.      Ring  topology
c.       Star topology
d.      Tree topology
e.       Mesh topology
f.        Hybridge topology
Bus
In a bus topology all computers are connected to a central cable called bus or backbone.
Star
A star topology is intended with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected straightforwardly to a central network Devices. Data on a star network passes through the network Devices before continuing to its destination. The network Devices manages and controls all functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. This configuration is common with twisted pair cable. Though, it can also be used with coaxial cable or fiber optic cable
Ring
A ring topology may show to be the same as a star topology. on the inside, the MAU (multistation access unit) of a ring contains wiring that allows information to pass from one device to another in a circle or ring . The Token Ring protocol uses a ring topology.
 Tree                                                     
A tree topology is the combination of characteristics of linear bus and star topologies. It consists of groups of star-configured workstations linked to a linear bus backbone cable. Tree topologies permit for the extension of an existing network, and enable  to configure a network to meet their needs.

OSI Reference Model



OSI (Open system inter connection) Reference Model:



The following are OSI reference model

  1. Application layer
  2. Presentation layer
  3. Session layer
  4. Transport layer
  5. Network layer
  6. Data Link layer
  7. Physical Layer
 

Application Layer: the top layer of OSI reference model. the HTTP, FTP,SMTP, DHCP, SNMP protocols are work in this layer.

Presentation layer: this is 2nd  layer of OSI reference model.this layer's  responsibility is translating the Syntaxes used by different types of application in different computer in the network. in this layer a computer translate the data accumulated  by its own applications from its own abstract syntax to a common syntax which is suitable to transmit  through the network.

Session layer: the most important task of this layer are dialog control and dialog separation. dialog control is exchange information between two systems on the network. This layer Establishe, manages as well as  terminates sessions between applications


Transport Layer: The TCP & UDP protocol works in this layer. This layer provides   end-to-end connection between processes.

Network layer: in this layer the is responsible for packaging transport layer data in diagrams, addressing them to its final destination, routing them across the internet-work and fragmenting the diagrams as needed. the internet protocol (IP) work in this layer. This layer translate between different network types

Data link layer: This layer is responsible for network layer packaging network layer data ,addressing to its next destination. the PPP, SLIP works in this layer.

Physical Layer: The bottom layer of OSI reference model. This layer define what kinds of medium will be in the network

Types of Networking


There are three basic types of networks include:
  1. LAN: Local area network
  2. MAN: Metropolitan  Area Network
  3. WAN: Wide Area Network

Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network where computer are connected with each other relatively small area. It is usually limited to a geographic area such as a  lab, school, or building. LAN computers can be not more than a mile apart.
LAN consists of the following components:
  •  Computers
  •  Network interface cards
  •  Peripheral devices
  •  Networking media
  •  Network devices
LANs are designed to:                      
  Operate within limited Geographic Area.                                                                                                                                                                                    
  • Allow multi access to high band with media.
  • Control the network privately under the local  administration
  • Provide full time connectivity to local services
  • Connect physically adjacent devices.

Some common LAN technology include the following:

  Ethernet: In  LAN configuration, one computer is for the file server. In the file server all software is stores that controls the network and  the software which can be shared by the all computers which is attached to the network. All Computers which are connected to the file server are named workstation. The workstations may be less configuration than the file server. LANs, can be setup by all kinds Topology.

Network Topology

The logical and  physical arrangement of computer in a network is called  topology .Topology means now a days physical topology .
Classifications are :
1.      Logical
2.      Logical bus
3.      Logical Ring
4.      Physical
5.      Linear Bus topology
6.      Ring  topology
7       Star topology
8      Tree topology
9       Mesh topology
10    Hybrid topology


Bus
In a bus topology all computers are connected to a central cable called bus or backbone

Star
 Star topology is a topology where each computer is connected with  central network hub or concentrator. Data passes through the hub or switch before fix up destination on a star topology. All functions are manages and controls by the hub or switch of the network. this hub or switch also acts as a repeater for the data flow. usually this network is configured by twisted fair cable. moreover we can use coaxial cabel or fiver optic cable in this kinds of network. Star topology is using in maximum Local Area network
Ring

A ring topology is looking like a star topology. we use multistation access unit called MAU instead of switch/hub of a ring contains wiring that allows information to pass like circle or ring.from one device to another Token Ring protocol uses in  ring topology.

Computer Networking


Computer Networking 
A Network consists two or more   computers that are connected by using 
Various media in   order to share resources such as
1. Printers
2. Scanners
3. Hard disks
4. CD-ROM
5. Plotters
6. Floppy disks

Exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network
May be linked   through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites ,  or infrared light beams.   In summary   all networks must have the following: [1]:
i) Something to share (data)
ii) A physical pathway (transmission media)
iii) Rules of communication (Protocol)

The goal of computer networking are to provide services and to reduce equipment costs . Networks Enable computers to share their resource by offering services to other computers. Some of the reasons for networking pc s are as follows:
Share files
Share printers and other devices
Enable common administration and security Supporting network applications such as electric mail and data base service.
