Swift Lesson: Operational Database Management

Operational Database Management refers to the processes and techniques used to manage operational databases, which are designed to handle real-time transactional data. These databases support the daily operations of organizations and are critical for business functionality.

• **Transactional Operations**: These involve CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) that manage data effectively.
• **Concurrency Control**: Ensures that multiple transactions can occur simultaneously without leading to data inconsistency.
• **Data Integrity**: Guarantees the accuracy and reliability of data over its lifecycle.
• **Backup and Recovery**: Essential for data protection, allowing the restoration of data in case of loss or corruption.

1. **Regular Backups**: Schedule automated backups to prevent data loss.
2. **Indexing**: Use indexing to optimize query performance.
3. **Normalization**: Apply normalization techniques to reduce data redundancy.
4. **Security Measures**: Implement proper authentication and authorization controls.
