DATABASE SUPPORT FOR WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Abstract
The report is prepared for the development of a mobile application following the theories of
database support of workflow management system. For the development of the solution a
research is done on the structured querry language and its types. A research is also done of
the different type of databases for the selection of the suitable database for the development
of the mobile application. The compatibility of the database with the other application is
discussed in the report and a security measures that are taken for the improvement of the
security of the local data are also discussed in the report. The inter - process communication
and the configuration essential for the management of the flow of the information between
the workstation. The

DATABASE SUPPORT FOR WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Introduction
The paper mainly reflects on the concept of” database support workflow management
system” that is mainly used in order to develop a mobile application by utilizing SQLite. It is
found that in the entire paper proper discussion on the SQL is done by elaborating different
types of SQL that are generally available. It is found that SQLite is mainly selected for
developing the mobile application due to its advantages. It is found that due to the use of
SQLite, the application will be simple so that it can be used quite easily. In addition to this,
one of the important factor is that it does not requires any additional server as the data is
accessed from the blackened server.
This paper discusses the SQL, its type, as well as history in order to provide clear
overview about SQL. In addition to this a case study is used as a real example for elaborating
the development iof mobile application within the utilization
Introduction of SQL
Structured Query Language (SQL) is defined as a database query language that is
mainly utilized for managing as well as storing data within the relational database
management system. SQL is considered as the commercial language that was mainly
introduced by the E.F Codd’s relational model of the database. SQL assists in defining
number of ways one of the ways of SQL command for manipulating data in the RDMS in
order to manipulate data which is generally stored within the RDBMS.
DDL which is known as data definition language that is considered as one of the way
that is used by SQL in order to manipulate the data which is generally stored within the
RDBMS. DDL or data definition language generally includes number of changes within the
table structure including the table creation, alteration in the table, table deletion and more. It
