About Database Concepts and DBMS Fundamentals

GoConqr Original

What you will find here

The unit brings together material on what a database is and how a DBMS manages it. Mind maps such as Database Management System (DBMS), Relational database concepts and Database Security and Administration set out the core ideas. Others cover transactions, with the ACID properties of atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability, and distributed databases, described as a single logical database whose parts sit in more than one place.

Where to start

Begin with a broad map, then move to a short quiz. Online Test-Database Concepts and Relational Database Concept suit a first pass. The mind maps called Databases and Database Terminology help with vocabulary. Flashcard decks such as Databases Topic 2 and 2.1.5 - Databases Vocabulary are handy for key terms.

Going further

Several quizzes follow textbook chapters. The CIS 3365 sets start with what a DBMS does and how data becomes information, and later chapters look at database design and system development. CHAPTER 11: DATABASE PERFORMANCE TUNING AND QUERY OPTIMIZATION covers timely answers and evaluating performance. SQL Server MTA 98-364 asks about indexes and structures such as bitmap, b-tree and hash. Other listed items are tied to exam courses, including OCR A Level Computer Science, GCSE Computer Science and MTA Database Fundamentals.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map and note the branches you could not explain.
  2. Take a quiz on that topic and check the answers.
  3. Go back to the map for anything you missed.
  4. Use flashcards for short, repeated recall.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with a mind map such as Database Management System (DBMS) or Relational database concepts to get the main ideas. Then try Online Test-Database Concepts as a short check. If you want exam-style practice, the MTA 98-364 quiz is a good next step.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps range across the unit. They include transactions and the ACID properties, distributed databases, relationships, data storage, database recovery, security and administration, and the system development lifecycle. There are also maps on relational and object-relational databases.

Which exams are these resources linked to?

Listed resources mention GCSE Computer Science, GCSE Computing, GCSE ICT, A-level Computer Science, A-level Computing, A-level ICT and OCR A Level Computer Science. They also mention MTA Database, MTA 98-364 and MTA Database Fundamentals. Check each resource against your own course.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates, school students, and teachers. Students can revise concepts, test themselves with quizzes and learn terms with flashcards. Teachers can pick ready-made quizzes, notes and slide sets to use with a class.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Try a nearby title first. Normalisation, SQL and queries, and database design each have notes, quizzes or maps. If your topic is still missing, you can build your own mind map or flashcards from your class notes.
