Abstract
The paper explains the development, function, and purpose of database management systems. It explains the differences between the two major types of database management systems and evaluates some of their strengths and weaknesses. A comparison chart of database management systems is included at the end of the paper.
From the Paper
"Object-oriented database management system (ODBMS) vendors were hopeful that future applications would be implemented with pure object-oriented systems (Devarakonda, 2001). Initially, these systems looked promising, but they were unable to live up to the expectations. A new technology has evolved in which relational and object-oriented concepts have been combined or merged. These systems are called object-relational database management systems (ORDBMS). ORDBMSs best ODBMSs in most situations because they can provide massive scalability as well as object-oriented features. Today, ODBMS use is mostly confined to niche applications where the data being managed falls into hierarchical structures with numerous and somewhat unpredictable relationships between data objects."

Abstract
In today's information-rich society, database management is an ever-expanding and increasingly important field. This paper discusses databases, database management systems (DBMSs), and their importance in today's society. Additional topics include the need for security, concurrency, and control within database management, as well as the role of the database administrator.
From the Paper
"A database can be defined as "a structure that can house information about multiple types of entities, the attributes of these entities, and the relationships among the entities" (St. Edward's University). Databases can contain a wide variety of information. For example, a university database may include information about students, courses and classrooms. Further, this university database may contain significant amounts of information about the relationships between these entities, such as student course enrollment, and the use of classrooms for courses (Ramakrishnan)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS), which emerged in the 1990s, quickly found their niche in handling complex data types; however, the long-term vision of OODBMSs to replace relational databases has never materialized. The author points out that OODBMS technology remains a small niche market, generating only around a few hundred million dollars in revenues, compared to the multi-billion dollar relational database market. The paper states that the goals of large relational database vendors, such as Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft, have been to synthesize the best of relational databases and OODBMs, such as the flexibility of the OODBMS data model and the performance of relational database functions, into an Object-Relational Database Management System.
From the Paper
"OODBMSs first started to be researched in the 1980s and the first commercial products gradually appeared in the early 1990s from vendors such as Object Design, Objectivity, Versant, Computer Associates and Ardent. By the late 1980s and early 1990s it was recognized that object oriented (OO) languages had some very strong advantages over non-OO languages for many programming applications. OODBMSs emerged to reduce the impedance mismatch between the programming languages and the DBMS, to offer performance advantages (due to navigation from roots and sophisticated caching and swizzling technologies), and to provide transparent support for complex user-defined types including the ability to store, call and query complex objects directly."

Database Management Systems
Database Security Policies
System Security Policy
Data Security Policy
User Security Policy
Auditing Policy
Bibliography
From the Paper
"There are many measures and security policies that can be implemented to prevent illegal access to private databases. Typically, every security policy is dependent on the other policies. It is important to note that security policies work best if all the policies embedded within have strong walls against unauthorized access. Otherwise, once one policy fails, there are tendencies that its vulnerability and failure to protect the network, database, or information, can affect the rest of the policies. Following are some of the common policies, as extracted from Oracle Server Administration Guide, that are applied by many organizations which utilize information technology methods for database and information safety and security."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of an enterprise database management system and outlines the ways in which it can be used by a government contracting company to expand its business. The paper also highlights the attracting features and functionality offered by a DBMS and explains how it can improve activities at strategic, tactical and operational levels.
From the Paper
"A DBMS renders the interface between the application program and the data. If the Government Contracting Company plans to expand its business, then a DBMS would make the data representation for the users and the developers a lot easier. If any changes are made to the data representation, the metadata maintained by the DBMS would automatically be modified and the DBMS would persevere to render data to application programs in the usual manner. ?Hence, unlike previous databases the DBMS handles the task of transformation of data wherever necessary? (Gopal Gupta, Advantages Of Using A DBMS). The independence provided by the DBMS between the program and the data is referred to as data independence."

Abstract
This paper states that current technology now removes the risk of the data and information within a database from being used for illegal or fraudulent activities. The author points out that these new advances are related to new database management software, which can customize user accounts and access to the data as well as encrypt all of the data in a given database. The paper explains that data mining is one of the primary activities that is used to illustrate how important data security and management has become across most industries. The author suggest that failure related to security and encryption features is usually associated more with the planning, selection and deployment of the data management solution rather than intrinsic faults within the solution itself.

"Previously, most healthcare organizations were content to rely on internal IT platforms to automate some aspects of their internal functions without engaging the full spectrum of IT solutions such as data mining and data warehousing in a non-secure environment. Most often, these pre-existing IT solutions for healthcare management are independent software applications or separate modules of a healthcare enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that rely on existing databases of some type. While the application and use of these independent applications and ERP modules can certainly introduce cost-savings into the equation, they require an upfront investment in either IT applications, IT infrastructure or both, as well as on-going management of these new systems."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the potential use of databases in the kitchen and looks at the advantages that a specialized database management system could offer to the culinary management sector.
From the Paper
"This online recipe database is to be designed such that people can view the individual recipes and the preparation methods as well create and update their own favorite recipes. Furthermore the company is also interested into using the web as a means of increasing their business by accepting customer orders online and delivering them in a fairly short amount of time. The problem currently faced by the restaurant is that there is no proper integration between the different branches and this results in considerable loss. To avoid this loss there is an immediate need for designing complete recipe management database system. A fully integrated recipe database would facilitate real time information exchange pertaining to the different items. This would allow them to control their schedule with a view to optimizing the production. This is particularly significant for a big chain restaurant like ?Funday? where a database system would constitute an effective decision support system."

Abstract
The growth of information technology in line with the growth of the Internet demands for more data storage to facilitate retrieval of information at a rapid pace. The increased capacity og data storage gives rise to data warehousing and data mining, enabling businesses to index their data and formulate plans and projections using business intelligence mechanisms. In this essay, the writer discusses enterprise database management systems (DBMS). The writer concludes that no matter what the case may be, enterprise DBMS will continue to find its niche in various enterprise applications. Further, the writer notes that it will continually grow, as seen in various vendor sales statistics, and will be able to adapt to varying information technology changes.
From the Paper
"Enterprise DBMS have been applied to geographic information systems, cross continental supply chain management systems and global contact centers. Its robustness, scalability and dependability make it an ideal platform for business with global reach or international affiliates and connections. For enterprise resource planning (ERP), the enterprise DBMS is the most suitable type of database for deployment however, the major debilitating factor is cost-enterprise DBMS are very expensive both in terms of purchasing and maintenance."
"Some flavors, both proprietary and open-source, of the enterprise DBMS are:
1. DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition 7.2 - A multimedia, Web-ready RDBMS for e-business applications such as electronic commerce, enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) supply-chain management, Web self-service and business intelligence."

Abstract
The narrow focus of the research is the appropriate level of convergence and divergence between education and practice in database management systems for the period 2001-2020.
Two research questions are investigated:
1. What emphasis distribution between theory and skills during postsecondary database management systems education will have the greatest positive impacts on the effectiveness of database management systems practice over the long-term?
2. Will a dichotomy of perspective between database management systems educators and practitioners concerning the appropriate emphasis distribution between theory and skills during postsecondary database management systems education have negative impacts on the effectiveness of database management systems practice over the long-term?
The research strategy proposes to investigate the issue of the appropriate level for the gap between education and practice in database management systems will involve both structural analysis and phenomenological analysis. Structural analysis is applied to investigate the potential roles of theory and skills development in postsecondary education as a means of promoting long-term effectiveness in database management systems practice. Phenomenological analysis is used in the proposed study to collect data, refine issues, and analyse data within the context of the research questions investigated.

From the Paper
"The revolution in postsecondary education in the late-1980s and early-1990s focused in part on the relationship between academic instruction and professional practice in most disciplines. Proponents of the so-called ?new pluralism? emphasize a need for a closer integration of theory, practice, and skills within the educative process (Edwards, 1993).
While few in either academia or the professions advocate a complete de-linking of theory, practice, and skills, many do advocate that the role of academia is to provide the theoretical grounding that will permit graduates to practice in a productive manner throughout a professional career, easily adjusting to innovations as they are introduced (Beyer, 1983). For some, the issue is whether postsecondary education should be for life or for a particular job (Macfarlane, Jeeves, & Boon, 1987). This latter position holds that postsecondary education that focuses on skills development in relation to specific tasks or the ability to apply specific technologies in an expert manner reduces postsecondary education to the level of vocational education, as opposed to preparing individuals for lifelong learning and developing a capacity to grasp and apply innovations as they develop (Madden & Mitchell, 1993)."

Management Information Systems.
This paper is a research proposal to study management information systems in government.
13,560 words (approx. 54.2 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 249.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that the hypothesis of this study, which is that management information systems in government are much more complex and take longer to create than other management information systems because of the inherent difficulties in thoroughly protecting sensitive data from those that should not have access to it; therefore, they are underutilized or not utilized correctly, more often than not, and management does not understand what the end users of these systems really need. The author points out that there are two important key issues: (1) how the technology is used within and between organizations and (2) how these management information systems can be utilized to help manage and achieve the goals that these governmental agencies. The research methodology will include surveys of end users, middle management, management information systems managers, and top management to compare what they think about how well the technology works and to help determine their congruency on the future of the technology.

From the Paper
"There are many differences between computing and management in the public sector and the private sector and this often has an impact not just on the way that things are done and the politics of a particular organization but on the decisions that are made and the employment in a particular organization as well. Computing and management information systems in government have increased very strongly in the last 15 years or so, but the research on this particular issue has declined steadily. This is an intriguing issue and it is curious why research is so lacking on something that is deemed to be so important."

Abstract
This paper explores how an effective information system can be devised for a fictitious called Northern Shingles, Inc. so that budgetary over-runs in their 'off-season can be minimized. The author suggests a centralized database so that all information relating to budgetary information and expenditures is readily accessible to Senior Management. The paper relates that such a database also can lead to greater accountability for senior management in charge of various departments.
From the Paper
"Information technology is the life-blood of any organization. Without the appropriate information finding its way quickly into the appropriate hands, an organization risks being out-stripped by its competitors. An effective management information system must present information clearly and in a manner that allows managers easy access to relevant, additional information; it must draw together all company information; and it must account for different learning styles. This paper presents a schematic design of a management information system that takes all of these issues into account so that Northern Shingles can effectively address its seasonal fluctuations."
