Database Management Discussion

The database that I will design would track patient admission rates in hospitals. The data collected would display peak times for patient admission and the categories for admission. The information collected would display a pattern/trend in each category that would help hospitals plan and prepare accordingly on an annual basis in high peak seasons. The list of entities and attributes within each entity are included below.

Patient	Hospital	Date	Admission	Category
Patient_ID	Hospital_ID	Date_ID	Admit_ID	Category_ID
Pt_Last	Hosp_Name	Date	Patient_ID	Ctg_Diabetes
Pt_First	Hosp_Location	Day	Hospital _ID	Ctg_Respiratory
Pt_Address	Hosp_Unit	Month	Date_ID	Ctg_Trauma
Pt_Phone	Hosp_Beds		Category_ID	Ctg_Infection
				Ctg_Hypertension
				Ctg_Other

Business Rules

A hospital can have many patients but only one admission date.

An admission date is linked to many patients at many hospitals.

QUESTION

—————-

Based on the database you are developing for your data management project, please describe the transaction types that will be used to update your database. For instance, for a dinner social club database, there would be transactions to add, update, and delete the dates and times for dinner club events, transactions to add, update, and delete dinner club members, and transactions associated with members paying for club events. Indicate who would be authorized to run each of those different transactions (e.g., the club administrators, the club members, the dinner caterers, etc.) and what technique(s) you would use in the DBMS to tune the performance of the database. In addition, please describe the backup and recovery plan for the database and indicate how often and what type(s) of database backup you are planning based on the business requirements for the data. Please note the difference between the recovery of individual transactions and the recovery of an entire database.
