Abstract
There are many companies of all sizes that use databases to keep their data organized and easy to access. Databases have multiple parts, such as domains and constraints, Database Management System, and Metadata that make them unique. Not only does this paper cover the elements of a database but more specifically the elements of relational databases. This paper will go over the definition of relation databases, what makes this kind of database unique with the relation between tables, and how Standard Query Language is used by relational database. Then the paper will move on to the access controls that are used in relational databases. There are three main access control models that are used: Mandatory Access Control, Discretionary Access Control, and Role Based Access Control. This paper will explain each access control in depth as well as their weaknesses and an example to better understand each of them.
