A database system is  basically just a computerized record -keeping system.The database itself can be regarded as a kind of electronic of  filing cabinet; that is ,it is a repository or container for a collection of computerized data files .User of the system can perform a variety of operations involving such files -for example:


  • Adding new files to the database
  • Inserting data into existing files 
  • Retrieving data from existing files
  • Deleting data from existing files
Changing data in existing files 

WHAT IS DATABASE SYSTEM  ?

  To repeat from the previous section, a database system is basically a computerized record -keeping system; In other words ,it is a computerized system whose overall purpose is to store information and to allow user to retrieve and update that information and to allow user to retrieve and update that information on demand.The information in question can be anything that is of significance to the individual or organization concerned - anything , in other word , that is needed to assist in the general process of running the business of that individual or organization.

DATA:

Database System are available on machines that range all the way from the smallest handheld or personal computers to the largest mainframes or cluster of mainframes.Needless to say ,the facilities provided by any given system are determined to some extent by the size and power of the underlying machine .In particular ,system  on large machines tend to be multi-user,wheres those on smaller machines tend to be single-user. A Single-user System is a system in which at most one user can access the database at any given time; a multi - user system is a system in which many user can access the database at same time.

HARDWARE:  

The hardware component of the system consist of:
  • The secondary storage volumes - typically magnetic disks- that are used to hold the stored data, together with the associated I/O devices,devices controllers,I/O channels , and so forth
The hardware processor and associated main memory that are used to support the execution of the database system software.

ELECTRIC CARS PART 1

ELECTRIC CARS : INTRODUCTION: An electric cars  is an automobile  that is propelled by one or more electric motors , using energy stored in recharge batteries . The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880 s.  Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engines, electric starters  in particular, and mass production  of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric batteries. TYPES OF ELECTRIC CARS: There are three main types of electric vehicles E.V, classed by the degree that electricity is used as their energy source. B.E.V, or battery electric vehicles, P.H.E.V of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and H.E.V, or hybrid electric vehicles. Only B.E.V are capable of charging on a level 3, DC fast  Battery Electric Vehicles (B.E.V): Battery Electric Vehicles, also called B.E.V, and more fre...
