Overview of Database System Implementation

What happens when you use a database system:

  • You write some SQL commands.

  • The database system reads some data, from disk (or a disk cache). and it may write data to disk.

What is the database system doing to translate SQL commands to disk operations?

Example

begin; update employee set salary = salary * 1.1 where ssn in ('123456789', '987564321'); commit;
