3.3 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN

3.3 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN:

As per the flow of the project, we will first read the Drug Reviews dataset
available on the UCI ML repository, then we will do text preprocessing and data
cleaning to remove stop words, and special symbols, and then vectorize it to
convert it into numerical format using TF-IDF. After vectorization, we will split
the data into training and test set. Once splitting is done we will proceed to build a
machine learning model and evaluate their performance. Next based on the
performance criteria we will select next machine learning model for classifying
medical conditions based on textual reviews of the users.

Based on the prediction of medical condition we will select the top 3 drugs from
the dataset having ratings >=9 and total ratings >=100.

So, next start the process of building machine learning model for classifying
medical conditions based on textual reviews.

4.2.1 Data Storage :
Data storage in SQL Server is crucial for managing and organizing data efficiently
within a relational database management system (RDBMS). SQL Server provides
several mechanisms and features for storing and managing data effectively. Here's
an overview of the key aspects of data storage in SQL Server:

1. Tables and Schemas

 User Profiles: Store user information such as name, age, gender, and contact
details.
 Medical History: Maintain records of user medical conditions, allergies,
current medications, and treatment history.
 Medication Data: Store information about medications, including names,
descriptions, dosage instructions, side effects, and interactions.
 Feedback and Ratings: Capture user feedback on recommended
medications, including ratings and comments.

2. Indexing

 Clustered Index: Use for primary keys or frequently queried columns to

ensure fast data retrieval.
 Non-Clustered Index: Create indexes on columns used in search queries to
optimize performance, such as medication names or medical conditions.

3. In-Memory OLTP

 Performance Considerations: Consider using In-Memory OLTP for tables

that require extremely fast data access, such as user session management or
caching frequently accessed data.

4. Backup and Restore

 Regular Backups: Establish backup strategies to protect data integrity and

ensure recoverability in case of system failures or data corruption.
5. Integration with External Data Sources

 Data Integration: Integrate SQL Server with external sources like drug
databases or medical literature repositories to enrich medication data and
enhance recommendation accuracy.

6. Scalability and Performance

 Partitioning: Partition large tables based on usage patterns (e.g., by user ID

or timestamp) to optimize query performance and manage data growth
effectively.

7. Filestream and Filetable (Optional)

 Filestream: Use for storing large binary files related to medications or

medical images outside of the database while maintaining transactional
consistency.
 Filetable: Manage structured data stored as files in a directory, useful for
documents or reports related to medication recommendations.

4.2.2 Buffer Management:

Buffer management in SQL Server is a critical aspect of its architecture, focused
on efficiently managing data in memory to optimize performance and minimize
disk I/O operations. Here's an overview of buffer management in SQL Server and
its relevance to a medicine recommendation system:

 Several methods are employed in buffer management to optimize

performance:
 LRU (Least Recently Used)
 This method removes the least recently accessed data from the buffer pool.
It's like a coffee shop clearing tables of the customers who left the longest
time ago to make room for new ones.
  MRU (Most Recently Used)
 Contrary to LRU, MRU removes the most recently used data. This might
seem counterintuitive, but it’s useful in scenarios where the most recent data
is less likely to be accessed again soon.
 FIFO (First In, First Out)
 Here, the data that entered the buffer pool first is removed first. It's like a
queue at a movie theater; the first person in line buys their ticket and leaves
the queue first.
 Clock Policy
 This is a variation of LRU.
 Imagine a clock where each data page in the buffer has a clock hand. If a
page is accessed, its hand is set to '1'. When deciding which page to remove,
the buffer manager scans these clock hands, turning any '1's to '0's until it
finds a '0', which it then removes.
 LFU (Least Frequently Used)
 This method removes data that has been accessed the least frequently, akin
to a bookstore deciding to not restock a book that hasn't been selling well.

4.2.3 Concurrency and Locking:

Concurrency and locking mechanisms in SQL Server are essential for managing
simultaneous access to data by multiple users or processes while ensuring data
integrity and consistency. In a medicine recommendation system, where multiple
users may access and update medical data concurrently, understanding
concurrency control and locking is crucial. Here’s an overview of concurrency and
locking in SQL Server:

1. Concurrency Control

Concurrency control ensures that multiple transactions can execute concurrently

without causing data inconsistency or integrity issues. SQL Server employs several
mechanisms to manage concurrency:

 Isolation Levels: Define the degree to which transactions are isolated from
each other. SQL Server supports multiple isolation levels including Read
 Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read, and Serializable, each
offering different trade-offs between concurrency and data consistency.
 Locking: SQL Server uses locks to control access to data during
transactions. Locks prevent other transactions from modifying data that is
being read or modified by another transaction, thereby maintaining data
integrity.

2. Types of Locks

 Shared (S) Locks: Allow multiple transactions to read data simultaneously.

Shared locks are compatible with other shared locks but incompatible with
exclusive locks.
 Exclusive (X) Locks: Acquired when a transaction modifies data. Exclusive
locks prevent other transactions from reading or modifying the same data
until the modifying transaction completes.
 Update (U) Locks: Acquired when SQL Server plans to update a row later.
It prevents other transactions from acquiring exclusive locks on the same
resource until the transaction holding the U lock either commits or rolls
back.
 Intent Locks: Indicate that a transaction intends to acquire a higher-level
lock on a resource. They are compatible with other intent locks and all
shared locks but are not compatible with exclusive locks.
 Schema Locks: Used when operations such as adding or dropping columns
or tables are performed. They are generally exclusive locks.

6. Monitoring and Tuning

 Monitoring Locking and Blocking: Use SQL Server’s dynamic

management views (DMVs) to monitor locking and blocking activities.
Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks related to concurrency.
 Lock Escalation: Monitor and tune lock escalation settings to prevent
unnecessary escalation of locks to table-level locks, which can impact
concurrency.

Concurrency and locking in SQL Server are essential for ensuring data consistency
and integrity in a medicine recommendation system
