COMETT Database Administration Problems, Concepts, Issues
COMETT is a collaborative programme organized by the Commission of the European Community. It is concerned with further education in technology through cooperative ventures between industry and universities. The goal of the programme is to produce highly qualified personnel in order to improve the competitiveness of European industry. The further education series "Database Administration" forms part of the COMETT-Project EXDACO of the UETP-Ruhr. The leading organizer of the seminars is the Laboratory for Databases, which is integrated in the Department of Practical Computer Science I of the University of Hagen (FernUniversitaet). Coordinator of the English session is the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The lecturers of the seminars come from consultancies, the University and the application area.
Content and Goals:
The Database Management System (DBMS) - as the central kernel of complex application systems - determines the efficiency of the whole system. The management of this critical part of the system has to be done by the database administrator (DBA). The database administrator is faced with the following tasks:
-application oriented data modelling
-security of data
-access control
-system performance
-archiving of data
-integration of old data and systems
In the past, sets of data grew in isolation from
each other. An integrated view of all data of an
enterprise was often missing. The introduction of
database technonolgy in some areas has led to data
from different disciplines being integrated. For
example data relating to 'orders' may be held in an
'orders database', while the data relating to the
'manufacturing process' may be held in a different
database. The two databases contain common
information and so to make full use of the data,
connections between the two must be set up and
maintained.
These problems lead to the requirement of an
organisation-wide data model and an experienced
database system support team.
Frequently, the task of a database administrator
has been taken over by an application programmer
who in course of time became a specialist for
his/her specific database management system. But
the scenario described above requires the
administartor to perform tasks which are beyond the
management of a single database management system:
-The involvement of the DBA in the data modelling
process requires knowledge about Structured
Analysis (SA) and the Entity Relationship
Approach (ER).
-Dealing with different database categories, e.g.
to migrate from the world of hierarchical data
(e.g. IMS) to relational database management
systems (e.g. DB2).
-Assessment of modern database concepts, e.g.
object-oriented databases
-Use of CASE-tools during design and operation of
databases
-Observing of standards, e.g. the ISO/IEC SQL
standard
-Comparison of different database management
systems and tools for developing applications
(e.g. 4GL-tools)
-Assessment of distributed database systems.
The seminars focus on imparting knowledge on
database management in a broad and vendor
independent fashion.
Participation will be certified by the University
of Hagen.

Seminar I: 2/9/93-3/9/93
Relational Databases: State of the Art and
Perspectives of Future Developments
Objective:
Relational database systems have become increasing
popular and are in process of replacing the former
paradigms of hierarchical and network-oriented
databases.
After its introduction into the market some 8 or 10
years ago, various products, e.g. DB2, ORACLE,
INGRES and SYBASE have converged with respect to
the features which they provide. This has been
supported by strong standardization activities.
The goal of the two day seminar is to give an
overview on the current state-of-the-art relational
database technology. In particular, new concepts in
the areas of integrity control and programming of
the database kernel will be introduced and compared
with each other (e.g. stored procedures, triggers,
constraints).
In addition to the overview of available systems
the participant will get a view of future
development trends.
Contents:
Tasks and basic concepts of database systems

Seminar II: 4/10/93-5/10/93
Object-Oriented Database Systems: A Rational
Investigation
Objective:
The seminar introduces the new generation of
database systems, the object-oriented databases. In
the first part of the seminar the participant is
given an overview of concepts and functionality of
these systems, the differences between objectoriented
and relational database systems, the
operational areas as well as an overview concerning
trading products and prototypes.
Because the term "object-oriented" is often used
even if the basic concepts of an object orientation
are not fulfilled, this seminar concentrates on
classification and rating connected with practical
needs and works out the capabilities and
shortcomings. Furthermore attention moves towards
the applicability of object-oriented database
technology to solve problems arising with appli
cations where nowadays databases do not fit.
In the second part of the seminar, the focus is
switched to the practical usage of object-oriented
technology. Based on a concrete object-oriented
database system and a general example, the basic
concepts are presented on a computer.
Contents:
Concepts and rating
-The database generations
-Motivation for object oriented databases
-Example: design environment
-Basic concepts
-Query languages
-Other features for non-standard applications
-Prototypes and products
-Rating and outlook

Seminar III: 20/10/93-22/10/93
Database Security:Technical and Legal Aspects
Objective:
The major task of a database administrator is to
guarantee the correct state of the database. Beside
the presentation of the relevant basic mechanisms
of a database, the purpose of this course is to
uncover the clash between data protection and data
security. Data protection meaning technical and
organizing measures against misuse of personal data
on the one hand, data security meaning measures
against unauthorized manipulation, demolition and
loss of any data on the other.
The professional background of the speakers
reflects these different views. The technical
aspect will be discussed by a university scientist.
Data security will be presented by a lecturer
employed with electronic data processing auditing
in a software company. The speaker lecturing on the
topic of data protection is a consultant on 'New
Technolgies'.
The major objective of this course - starting from
the different approaches and problems - is to
understand the interaction of the particular
technical and organizing concepts, and to give
practical hints on checking the integrity of a
database.
Content:
Basic mechanisms of database technology
-Data modelling: Database, table, view
-Data dictionary: How to work with the dictionary
of a DBS ?
-Access authority: Which things (operations) can
who (user) make with what (objects)?
-Record keeping: Who did what with which objects?
-Interfaces: Query languages and evaluation
possibilities
Data security
-Definition
-Tasks and functions of the electronic data
processing auditing in connection with data
security
Necessary measures to ensure data security
Concepts for the management of user and access
rights
-Backup and recovery
Data protection
-Between data protection and data security
-A case study on the misuse of personal data
-Technical and organizing measures to the personal
data
-Basic laws and legal position on data protection

Seminar IV: 4/11/93-5/11/93
How to use CASE for Data Base Design: Methods and
Tools
Objective:
This seminar presents CASE as it is (or should be)
essentially seen: methods implemented on computer
to help software-engineers increase the quality and
productivity of their work.
Participants get to know methods of data modelling.
They will see in which way the most popular CASE
tools help in working with these methods and in
which way they do not. The course will help you to
assess the CASE tools from the point of view of
methods and practical experience. When looking at
the most important CASE products the aspect of
integrating different methods is especially
important. Data models have to be transformed yet
stay consistent through different phases of the
software development process - from analysis to
physical data base design. Different layers for
data, process and state transition models have to
manage integration.
There will be a short preview of the actual state
of object-oriented methods for analysis and design
and supporting CASE tools.
Contents:
Phases of data base design
Activities and results of analysis, conceptual,
logical and physical design will be presented.
The integrated way of modelling data and process
models will be discussed - as especially in early
project phases tools often promise to be a solution
for this integration.
CASE tools: implemented methods
-overview on typical CASE structures
-graphical and editing modules of CASE
-implementing and testing methods
-transformation and integration of the results
CASE - data modelling modules
The most important aspects will be demonstrated
using important tools:
-ORACLE-CASE
-IEW/ADW
-MAESTRO II/SETEC
The problems of integrating methods implemented by
different tools will be discussed using the example
of MAESTRO II open system and its different front
end systems (ORACLE, PREDICT/ADABAS, UNIFACE).
A short survey of further important tools
(Excelerator, LBMS-Systems-Engineer, IEF, Teamwork,
Bachmann) will be given.
Preview of object-oriented methods and tools
The following tools will be presented:
-PTECH (implementing the James Martin approach)
-ObjectIF (implementing the OOA of Coad and
Yourdan)
Lecturer:
Dieter Pfleiderer is a graduate economist. He worked as software-engineer, manager of the application development of a credit institute and as project manager for a consultant company. Dieter Pfleiderer is now responsible for methods and tools in the software engineering department of the HZD (Central Information Technology for Hessen).
Fee: (pound sterling) 450
Seminar V: 8/11/93-9/11/93
Organization of the Reengineering Process
Objective:
As hardware- and software-technologies are
developed further, applications become more and
more outdated. Distributed processing, relational
databases, 4th Generation Languages, repositories
and CASE often are not compatible with existing
applications. Nevertheless old applications have to
be maintained, because redevelopment is often too
expensive and the essential know-how is only in the
old programs. A solution is a reengineering of the
existing applications.
The aim of this seminar is to present current
maintenance issues and to give an overview of
different reengineering methods and strategies.
In conclusion, some case studies will be presented
and discussed with the participants.
Contents:
Background of the maintenance problems
The factors leading to consideration of
reengineering will be presented:
-Problem factor personnel
-Problem factor maintenance organization
-Problem factor maintenance environment
-Problem factor software product
Reengineering techniques
The different reengineering methods will be
presented using practical examples:
-Reformatting
-Restructuring
-Reverse Engineering
-Recycling
-Reuse
-Migration
Reengineering strategies
Reengineering is not an isolated technology. It has
to be integrated into an overall technology
concept. Therefore, a comprehensive reengineering
strategy is necessary:
-Preparation for reengineering
-short-term reengineering strategies
-middle-term reengineering strategies
-long-term reengineering strategies
Case studies
Lecturer:
Klaus Hoffmeister is an expert in reengineering and maintenance at the Gross & Hottner GmbH. He gained his professional experience mainly as a consultant for different reengineering projects, especially for applications running on UNISYS-mainframes.
Fee: (pound sterling) 450
Seminar VI: 15/11/93-16/11/93
Distributed Database Systems:Concepts and
Implementation Aspects
Objective:
Local and global interconnections of computers via
computer networks as well as migration from
centralised to decentralised processing of data on
PCs and workstations has increased significantly
during the last few years.
Decentralised storage and processing of logically
related data leads to increased consistency and
security problems as well as to increased data
(location) dependency of application programs.
These problems did not occur - at least not in this
intensity - with centralised data processing.
Distributed database systems are an important
technique to solve these problems.
In recent years an increasing number of database
systems have appeared on the market claiming to
support "distributed" databases. The aim of the
seminar is to give a survey on the concepts of
distributed processing of data in computer
networks, especially on the different aspects and
underlying technology for distributed database
systems. After this seminar, the participants
should be able to assess the demands of their
(distributed) applications with respect to the
necessary database technology or network
technology, respectively. Based on this knowledge
they should be able to pose the "right questions"
for the selection and usage of a respective
database system.
Contents:
Introduction and overview
Which problems are to be solved? Which problems can
occur in the context of "downsizing", for example?
How are distributed database systems and database
systems for multi-processor systems related?
Aspects and realisations of distributed information
systems

distributed information systems and distributed
database systems (DBSs).
- Distributed file systems, remote program
requests,
DB/DC-systems etc.
-Local and wide-area distributed databases
-Homogeneous/heterogeneous distributed DBSs
-Integrated and federated distributed DBSs

Seminar VII: 17/11/93-18/11/93
Database and Presentation Layers
Objective:
Databases are an integral part of application environments. Within these environments the computer programs are the most important "users". This seminar will focus on the architectural means by which application programs should deal with presentation, semantics and manipulation of data. Database and presentation systems determine the design of computer programs. Well made programs isolate the characteristics of those external systems to which they have interfaces into specific layers. This results in flexible programs and reusable modules and supports system experts in quality assurance. It is mainly with database interfaces where experts can increase the quality of programs significantly.

Seminar VIII: 25/11/93-26/11/93
Corporate - Wide Data Management: Objectives and
Tasks from the Viewof the Practitioner
Objective:
From a unique practical perspective, this seminar
outlines important issues of data management, i.e.
the
management and control of data and information.
Besides technical aspects, administrative and
organizational questions will be answered.
Data and information are resources of an entire
organisation. Therefore, top-level management
should educate itself about the benefits of
database technology and should support data
management concepts and communicate them to the
rest of the organization. Just as many departments
within an organisation play a role in the
management and control of money, materials,
machines, and personnel, so does the data
management participate in the management and
control of data.
The analysis of corporate functions and data often
results in rethinking the structure of the
organisation. A corporate-wide data model along
with its main business functions should therefore
be discussed between the management and the
technical departments.
The protection of data against international
access, modification, and destruction is a key
function of data management. Data protection and
data security standards are needed as well as
policies which deal with disaster recovery.
Finally, many departments for information systems
have to invest a lot of time and money finding
reasonable means to migrate from one database
management system to another. Unfortunately,
database technology change has not yet become an
extensive research topic. Nevertheless, a few
software companies and some customers with large
database installations have started to address this
issues. As a result, a few promising migration
alternatives already exist, such as transparency
feature, source code conversion and data
propagation.
