1、- 0 -附录 1 外文文献资料外文翻译数据库管理系统的介绍数据库(database,有时拼作 data base)又称为电子数据库,是专门组织起来的一组数据或信息,其目的是为了便于计算机快速查询及检索。数据库的结构是专门设计的,在各种数据处理操作命令的支持下,可以简化数据的存储,检索,修改和删除。数据库可以存储在磁盘,磁带,光盘或其他辅助存储设备上。数据库由一个或一套文件组成,其中的信息可以分解为记录,每一记录又包含一个或多个字段(或称为域) 。字段是数据存取的基本单位。数据库用于描述实体,其中的一个字段通常表示与实体的某一属性相关的信息。通过关键字以及各种分类(排序)命令,用户可以对多条记
2、录的字段进行查询,重新整理,分组或选择,以实体对某一类数据的检索,也可以生成报表。所有数据库(最简单的除外)中都有复杂的数据关系及其链接。处理与创建,访问以及维护数据库记录有关的复杂任务的系统软件包叫做数据库管理系统(DBMS) 。DBMS 软件包中的程序在数据库与其用户间建立接口。 (这些用户可以是应用程序员,管理员及其他需要信息的人员和各种操作系统程序) 。DBMS 可组织,处理和表示从数据库中选出的数据元。该功能使决策者能搜索,探查和查询数据库的内容,从而对在正规报告中没有的,不再出现的且无法预料的问题做出回答。这些问题最初可能是模糊的并且(或者)是定义不恰当的,但是人们可以浏览数据库直
3、到获得所需的信息。简言之,DBMS 将“管理”存储的数据项,并从公共数据库中汇集所需的数据项以回答非程序员的询问。DBMS 由 3 个主要部分组成:(1)存储子系统,用来存储和检索文件中的数据;(2)建模和操作子系统,提供组织数据以及添加,删除,维护,更新数据的方法;(3)用户和 DBMS 之间的接口。在提高数据库管理系统的价值和有效性方面正在展现以下一些重要发展趋势:1.管理人员需要最新的信息以做出有效的决策。2.客户需要越来越复杂的信息服务以及更多的有关其订单,发票和账号的当前信息。3.用户发现他们可以使用传统的程序设计语言,在很短的一段时间内用数据库系统开- 1 -发客户应用程序。4.商
4、业公司发现了信息的战略价值,他们利用数据库系统领先于竞争对手。数据库模型数据库模型描述了在数据库中结构化和操纵数据的方法,模型的结构部分规定了数据如何被描述(例如树,表等) ;模型的操纵部分规定了数据添加、删除、显示、维护、打印、查找、选择、排序和更新等操作。2 外文文献资料外文原文A introduction to Database Management SystemA database (sometimes spelled data base) is also called an electronic database, referring - 2 -to any collection o

6、e, optical disk, or some other secondary storage device.A database consists of a file or a set of files. The information in these files may be broken down into records, each of which consists of one or more fields. Fields are the basic units of data storage , and each field typically contains inform

(These users may be applications programmers, managers and others with information needs, and various OS programs.)A DBMS can organize, process, and present selected data elements form the database.

These questions might initially be vague and/or poorly defined ,but people can “browse” through the database until they have the needed information. In s
11、hort, the DBMS will “manage” the stored data items and assemble the needed items from the common database in response to the queries of those who arent programmers.A database management system (DBMS) is composed of three major parts:(1)a storage subsystem that stores and retrieves data in files;(2)
12、a modeling and manipulation subsystem that provides the means with which to organize the data and to add , delete, maintain, and update the data;(3)and an interface between the DBMS and its users. Several major trends are emerging that enhance the value and usefulness of database management systems;
