Database Differentiation
Description of the data models

A detailed description of all the tables that a database consists of is referred to as a data dictionary. A data dictionary will contain all the attribute characteristics and names for every table found within a database system. A data dictionary can also be referred to as a metadata repository. This is because it contains information like relationships with other data, meaning, usage, format, and origin. According to Coronel, Morris, and ob (2011)

the data dictionary is a vital component for any database management systems as it is used for determining the database structure.

Data fragmentation is a characteristic of database management systems which allows for the breaking of a single object into two or more fragments or segments. The object being broken down might be a system or user database. Each of the broken fragments can then be stored at any location on a computer network.…...

Database Presentation
The objective of this study is to present a new database to be implemented in the clinical setting to increase quality and safety of patient care.

The database at focus in this work in writing is that of the Targeted Therapy Database (TTD) in a Cancer unit in a hospital. The work of Mocellin, et al. (2010) relates that the "efficacy of current anticancer treatments is far from satisfactory and many patients still die of their disease. A general agreement exists on the urgency of developing molecularly targeted therapies, although their implementation in the clinical setting is in its infancy. In fact, despite the wealth of preclinical studies addressing these issues, the difficulty of testing each targeted therapy hypothesis in the clinical arena represents an intrinsic obstacle. As a consequence, we are witnessing a paradoxical situation where most hypotheses about the molecular and cellular biology of cancer remain clinically untested…...

Database Management
Today, nearly everyone in across the world would love to store their information in the database to keep track of everyday activities. Organizations are also not left behind in operating their businesses by storing their information on databases. Databases are designed in a way they offer organized mechanisms for storage, managing and retrieving information. The data are stored and organized in different tables by the use of Microsoft Excel or using Structured Query Languages (SQL). Most people have implemented systems that are integrated with databases since they have recognized databases to be the best method of storing and retrieving information that may be of help in the future. For that case, this paper will analyze how energy auditing database can be created and how it will keep track of personal workout history for fitness focused individual using Visio or Entity relationship assistant to create Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD).

Database Modeling and Normalization
Entity elationship Model (EM) Diagram is a data model used to describe the database in an abstract method. The relational database stores data in table. The entity in the database could point to several entries. For example, employee is an entity in the relationship database, and a diagram used to create the entity in the database is called entity-relationship diagrams or E diagrams. (Silberschatz, Korth, 2006).

Objective of this report is to develop an entity relationship diagram for a consulting firm that offers information technology and database services. The firm attempts to create a relationships database to optimize and offer streamline solution efficiently in order to satisfy the government's requirements. The firm will create an EM database to optimized data repository that will allow the firm to perform human resources (H) functions effectively, which include as policy enforcement, benefits management, hiring, promotions, and training.

Databases and Data Management
Every day, nurses health care practitioners challenged managing large quantities data information. Unless data information translated knowledge, meaningful . Databases data management techniques, designed effectively, present health care organizations

Epic database is designed for large health care organizations. The database captures data related to patient care in a health care organization. The database facilitates patient registration, treatment scheduling, lab test results, radiology information, and billing. The database is able to schedule for any tests that a patient needs in the course of treatment. The information is used across the health care facility to assist in decision making. Having a centralized system for capturing and storing patient information and records is vital for a quick decision making especially for the nurses. This is because the nurses are able to follow up on a patient's treatment from a central place Burton, Anderson, & Kues, 2004.

Part 1: Concurrency Issues in the Database 1. Considering that these various transactions use some of the same tables and fields in the database, explain why it is important for the changes made by each of these transactions to be atomic. (2 pts)
Answer: The necessity of an atomic transaction, in this case, is to maintain state consistency in the database system. Since various transactions require the use of the same fields/data within the database, a sequential update to each field (prioritized based on order of transactions conducted) could lead to an imbalance in the overall system. For example: assuming a few items are sold to a customer and the sales information is updated. There is a need for an immediate update to the “QuantityOnHand” field (a reduction, since a certain unit of items have been sold), along with an update to the “total sales”, “Profit” and other relevant fields. Also, atomic…...

CORA is OMG's open, vendor-independent architecture and infrastructure that computer applications use to work together over networks (CORA asics). Using a standard protocol, a CORA-based program from any vendor, on almost any computer, operating system, programming language, and network, can interoperate with a CORA-based program from the same or another vendor, on almost any other computer, operating system, programming language, and network.

The core foundation of CORA is the Object Request roker (OR) that provides an interface between requesting objects and receiving objects (CORA, TechTarget). OR support in a network of clients and servers on different computers means that a client…...

This would also mean that the shadowing process goes on behind the scenes, and one need not even be aware that the process is in fact going on at any point of time; it can go on without creating any sort of disturbance to the user of the application, at any point of time. (Shadow Files)
Another important advantage of using the shadowing of a database is that data would be immediately available, even when the primary database has failed due to some reason or another. Non-exclusive usage of the primary database is also permitted, and this means that the database will not be locked, and this in turn means that it can be updated and changed during the process of its creation. Computer resource can be conserved, and this is because of the fact that shadowing does not use any separate process; the database process gives the shadow database…...
