Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the affects and characteristics of static and dynamic relationship applications. One type of database management system (DBMS) serves applications that are constant and unchanging, and another type of DBMS serves applications that are variable and changing. Complex programs are created that consume large amounts of computer resources to satisfy the report requests. Database integrity is a significant problem with a dynamic relationship DBMS because the data record types are related through data record element values that are under user control. The physical database of DBMS facilities enables data loading, data update, various access strategies that affect storage structure design, and facilities to maintain the database. The difference between the logical database component of a database application and the logical database component of a DBMS is analogous to the difference between specifying the data to be handled in a database application and implementing that specification with the DBMS.
