Data base administration

Jean-Paul De Blasis, Thomas H. Johnson · 1977

This three part paper covers the growth and classical patterns of data base administration along with a survey of some currently practicing data base administrators. As a result, some trends and evolutions of the data base administrator position are presented.After a brief historical introduction, the paper first sets forth basic definitions and organizational considerations for the DBA function. Interfaces, both internal and external are defined and the associated problems are discussed. The functions and responsibilities of the DBA are presented along with the tools available for carrying them out as recommended by various committees including CODASYL, GUIDE/SHARE and other reports.Then, a survey of organizations utilizing data base administrators is presented. The survey looks at organizations of varying sizes and commitments to data base technology. The results of the survey try to show how the previous recommendations are reflected in reality. An attempt to rationalize the plans and the actual status of the DBA in an organization is carried out.Finally, from the survey results and from projections provided by the data base administrators themselves, some trends in the evolution of their functions are outlined. In light of these projections an attempt is made to review some of the recommendations currently put forward.

Data Administration Procedures

Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1994

This Manual provides uniform procedures for implementation of the policies and concepts set forth in DoD Directive 8320.1 (reference (c)) for DoD Data Administration. This Manual supports the Defense Information Management (IM) Program. Successful execution of these procedures will help to ensure that DoD data can be identified, standardized, collected, distributed, used, and disposed of with accuracy and consistency, regardless of medium or intended use as described in DoD Directive 8000.1 (reference (g)). It will also ensure the effective management of data, like other DoD resources, throughout its life-cycle.

Data Base Administration

C. C. Chang · The Computer Journal · 1982

In the preface, Ms Weldon states that in the abundance of database literature, especially books, there is a dearth of database administration.This book will help fill that gap admirably.In order not to deter the prospective reader, let me first dispose of the few minor criticisms.As so many academic authors tend to do, she compiles more references than most readers would have time to pursue.The serious reader can readily access ACM and BCS journals anyway.Again, like most US (and many Canadian) authors, she behaves as if BCS and other European groups never publish anything worth referencing.PART I: ORGANIZATION OF DBA is slightly academic in presenting many alternatives.To be fair, it does home in on a preferred model.It also identifies variants in large complex decentralized organizations.The pen portraits of DBA manager and staff tend to be idealistic-but there is nothing wrong in aiming for the best!It also treats very large DP organizations as the norm.PART II: DB PLANNING is a very brief section and incontrovertible.It advocates that DBA is involved in selecting the database to be implemented as well as the DBMS.This may be a good idea, but not always practicable.PART III: DB DESIGN is logically presented.One minor point is that what many term 'data model building' is called 'logical data base design'.But the content and principles enunciated on data analysis, entity modelling, normalization etc. are fine and, hopefully, useful.It points out the distinction, that the DBA acts in an advisory role in 'logical' design and as THE responsible party in 'physical' design-with which one must wholly agree.PART IV: DB OPERATION & CON-TROL provides a good guideline on database integrity, access control and performance monitoring and tuning.It was pleasing to see standards and policy emphasized, rather than merely enumeration of procedures and actions to be performed.PART V: MANAGING THE USER IN-TERFACE.This part covered the administering of data including the use of a data dictionary.Here is one of the few non-North American references-BCS DDSWP 1977 report!DB standards were also adequately covered.The only omission is that of report writer and query language.These were mentioned in a few sentences in passing.With the progressive acceptance of DBMS, the selection, installation and usage of these end-user tools (or 'interfaces') are becoming increasingly important, particularly where a good dictionary is used as well.

Efficient Data Administration

Veena Mishra, Durga Patel, Rák K · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2016

Cloud Computing is a novel computing paradigm which is recognized as an arbitrary to traditional reference technology right to its intrinsic resource-sharing and low-maintenance characteristics. One of the virtually fundamental services offered by CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) is cloud storage. To increasing reliability and efficiency of data storage in the cloud the technique used is replication but its drawback is data loss and higher space consumption. One way to increase the data reliability and reducing the storage space in the cloud is Erasure Coding. In Erasure Coding, the data is fragmented and further encoded mutually into data pieces and stored in different locations. The arbitrary benefit of the Erasure Coding is that the corrupted data can be absolutely reconstructed into separate information. Erasure code comprises of two coding techniques regenerating code and locally repairable code. Regenerating Code is used for balancing storage space and its bandwidth. The Locally repairable code is the technique used to overcome the Disk I/O overhead in the Cloud Storage. But applying erasure code in cloud storage increases access time. So this paper explored the storage space efficiency of erasure codes and the repair traffic efficiency of replication. As a new area of research in replication and erasure coding technique can be combined using for data storage in the cloud for enhancing its overall efficiency.

DLA Data/Data Base Administration Analysis.

Girouard,R · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1985

The scope of this study addresses the following three questions: o What Data/Data Base Administration (D/DBA) functions have to be performed to effectively manage the D/DBA environment in DLA? o What tools are needed to support the D/DBA functions? o What is the required organizational structure for the functions and tools and where should they be located throughout DLA? The goal of this study is to conduct an extensive review and assessment of existing Data/Data Base Administration methods and procedures to develop concepts, directions, and an organizational approach in accomplishing the management of automated information DLA wide. Originator-supplied key words include: Data, Corporate Resource, Data Base Technology, Data Base Administration, Data Strategist, Data Base Designer, Data Base Administrator.

Manual for data administration

Judith J Newton, Daniel C Wahl · 1993

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a unique responsibility for computer systems technology within the Federal government. NIST's Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL) devel- ops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers and related telecommunications systems to achieve more effective utilization of Federal information technol- ogy resources. CSL's responsibilities include development of technical, management, physical, and ad- ministrative standards and guidelines for the cost-effective security and privacy of sensitive unclassified information processed

Administration and Data Collection

Scott T. Meier · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2014

Abstract This chapter describes the preparation and procedures necessary for the proper test administration of progress monitoring and outcome assessment measures. Repeated measurement can complicate the conditions under which clients and clinicians produce and report data. Test instructions should be designed to increase the likelihood that the rater can provide reliable and valid data. Ethical and legal guidelines are also discussed, as are problems with self-report and clinical ratings.
