Functions of a DBMS

* Efficient data maintenance * User-accessible catalog

the data dictionary is itself a database file accessible by the user

* Concurrency control

proper lock-out of multiple users

* Transaction support

an entire transaction is processed, or none of it is (in the event of a

system failure)

* Recovery services * Security and authorization services * Integrity facilities

conditions or restrictions on valid data in database

ACCESS Classes

The next three classes, on October 24, 29 & 31,

will all be held in Levin Lab 003

From now on, there is no purpose in reading

the ACCESS textbook by itself – it is vital you read at the computer, and follow the exercises with the keystrokes given

If you have not done this, you will find the Lab

classes a waste of your time, and may wish to consider how best to use your limited time . . .
