Database Systems: Concepts and Architectures

Knowing about the advantages of database supported data management and the huge possibilities of applying database systems this lesson will explain the basic concepts and typical architectures of database systems.
Firstly, it is discussed how a conceptual scheme can be transferred into a database environment and which typical database models can be used for this task. Afterwards, the generic database architecture is explained, which should allow for the understanding the important aspects of the co-operation between the different schemes and the interfaces for the communication with a database management system.
