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
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."

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.

From the Paper
"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
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 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 study examines management information systems and discusses how systems in a governmental system differ from those used in the private sector. Further, the paper hypothesizes 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. The paper recommends how to best set up a management information system for the government.

From the Paper
"Management information systems in government is an issue that has been studied for quite some time, because much of what is learned changes with the changing and evolving technology that is so prevalent in today's society. It is important to note, however, that government is only one small segment of the population and that management information systems are important in many other areas as well. Those that are involved with management information systems often know a great deal about computers and just as much about business, as the two tie together to form competent individuals in this area that can set up almost any kind of management information system for whatever type of business requests it."

From the Paper
"Database management systems make items of data available to different parts of an organization. In this way, a single piece of data is kept in a computer, and everyone who needs access to that data has it. Geography is not necessarily a consideration in order for these systems to work; distributed databases overcome the problems of decentralized operations.
Implementing a database management system requires that the organization account for the effect of the system on workers both in the data processing department as well as in those functional areas which will have access to the system. Some employees may lose their jobs, and others will have to be retrained to use the new system. In addition, companies may find that they need a management information system department, which can change the culture of the ..."

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."
