The early days of databases
The earliest databases only handled individual single pieces of specially formatted data. Today’s more evolved systems can handle different kinds of less formatted data and tie them together in more elaborate ways. The first systems were given to users on request. They were mostly used to store small pieces of data (shares, phone numbers, addresses, addresses of people you knew, names of kids your kids played with, store special values, etc). No one was expecting them to store long-term data. Most data were just single pieces of information and some were assigned with random values as either the index of the object that stored it. Single Piece of data: Digits = value1 + value2 Object: Byte = 23 + 40 + 40 + 53 + 65 + 85 + 100 Location: Memory Block = 3D30F7F21B A3C48F78A AFFCBB9E20C Nowadays, some systems store the data as objects or Structures.
The evolution of Data Storage
Before they started storing data, databases were started using relational databases. They were fairly simple – tables were structured by columns, and each row represented an instance of a single entity in a system. This data structure is still used by all the databases in the world, but today it is being replaced by similar wide tables which handle data in different formats. For instance, “city” would be represented as an entity in a “city” table and a single property would be stored in a property table. Now what this means is that any user of the database would now be able to query for a single city of 10 million people or a property for which the price has gone up to $1 million.
Why is Database Important?
Data is critical to a business. An interesting phenomenon has been observed since the birth of the Internet. Namely, small businesses are getting larger and larger. Businesses are becoming more information intensive. Information is increasingly being stored in different formats. It makes sense to store your information in a database. You can pull your data out and export it to other systems, even Microsoft Excel. Why is Database Structured? Data is first stored as an ordered series of different databases on your hard drive. To access that data you need a program such as Microsoft SQL Server. Data logging has emerged as a modern-day approach to the database structure. Data logging has improved the ability to efficiently store a vast number of data elements in a unified and extensible way.
Conclusion
In this post, we explored three basic concepts in data storage for IT professionals. Two of them are just fundamental and fairly easy to implement in a typical data infrastructure. The third is pretty sophisticated and will certainly take more expertise and testing time before you start to use it for data retrieval. In the next post, we’ll look at a fairly advanced and interesting storage system, and see how it relates to the database and how to use it in a distributed system. Behind every data, there is a database. With the digitalization of technologies, databases are becoming more complex.
