EXTERNAL LEVEL (highest level)
• The user's view of the database.
• Consists of a number of different external views of the DB.
• Describes part of the DB for particular group of users.
• Provides a powerful and flexible security mechanism by
hiding parts of the DB from certain users. The user is not
aware of the existence of any attributes that are missing
from the view.
• It permits users to access data in a way that is customized to
their needs, so that the same data can be seen by different
users in different ways, at the same time.
CONCEPTUAL LEVEL
• The logical structure of the entire database as seen by DBA.
• What data is stored in the database.
• The relationships among the data.
• Complete view of the data requirements of the organization,
independent of any storage consideration.
• Represents:
- ∀entities, attributes, relations
- constraints on data
- semantic information on data
- security, integrity information
Supports each external view: any data available to a user must
be contained in, or derivable from the conceptual level.
INTERNAL LEVEL
• Physical representation of the DB on the computer.
• How the data is stored in the database.
• Physical implementation of the DB to achieve optimal run-
time performance and storage space utilization.
- Storage space allocation for data and indexes
- Record description for storage
- Record placement
- Data compression, encryption
the architecture of dbms contains three levels 1/ external level:different users views of the database,shows relevant data for a particular user. 2/conceptual level:global view pf the database;describes what data is stored and its relationships. 3/internal level:physical representation of the database on the computer, Describes how the data is stored in the database.
In 3 tier architecture, client directly interacts with intermediate server and intermediate server will directly interact with database server.
A reference architecture consists of:Set of global external schemas.Global conceptual schema (GCS).Fragmentation schema and allocation schema.Set of schemas for each local DBMS conforming to 3-level ANSI/SPARC .Some levels may be missing, depending on levels of transparency supported.Can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.Gaurav SinghG.N.I.T MCA,GREATER NOIDAContact: 9458660007
There are several advantages of DBMS: 1. Redundancy problem can be solve 2. Security level is high 3. Referential Integrity 4. Multi user Access 5. Data Independence By Sushil Kumar Sinha
It would help if you explain, level 3 of WHAT (for instance, what game); also, what error message (or other error condition) you get.
3 level of software design - Architecture - Component - Detailed

1. DBMS Developers 2. Application Developers 3. DBA 4. End user
A level 3 question is when you have an important topic and you explain. Example: Describe what the united states looks like?
A database management system (DBMS) aims to efficiently store, retrieve, and manage data. Its main objectives are to ensure data integrity, provide data security, enable data sharing among multiple users, and support data recovery in case of failures. The functions of a DBMS include data storage, data retrieval, data manipulation, data security, and data administration.
Database management system is full form of DBMS . Characteristics of a DBMS are following : 1) It maintains data integrity. 2) It reduces redundancy. 3) make access to data easy.
