Data model • A database model defines the manner in which the various files of a database are linked together. The four commonly used database models are : • Hierarchical Databases • Network Databases • Relational Databases • Object-oriented databases www.AssignmentPoint.com
Relational, Object-Oriented, and Multidimensional Databases DATA MODELS FOR POPULAR DBMSs • What is a data model? • Rules and standards that define how database organizes data • Defines how users view organization of data • Three popular data models • Relational • Object-oriented • Multidimensional www.AssignmentPoint.com
Relational, Object-Oriented, and Multidimensional Databases • What is a relational database? • Stores data in tables that consist ofrows and columns • Each row has primary key • Each column has unique name • Stores data relationships • Uses specialized terminology DATA TERMINOLOGY www.AssignmentPoint.com
Relational Database • A relational database, the data elements are organized in the form of multiple tables with rows and columns. • Each table of the data base is stored as a separate file, and each row a data record (also known as a tuple). • The data in one table (or file) is related to data in another table with a common field. www.AssignmentPoint.com

2. Design the tables 3.Design the records and fields for each table Database Administration • What are guidelines for developing a database? 1. Determine the purpose of the database • Design tables on paper first • Each table should contain data about one subject • Be sure every record has a unique primary key • Use separate fields for logically distinct items • Do not create fields for information that can be derived from entries in other fields • Allow enough space for each field • Set default values for frequently entered data 4. Determine the relationships among the tables www.AssignmentPoint.com
Database administrator (DBA) Database analyst (DA) • Focuses on meaning and usage of data • Decides proper placement of fields, defines relationships, and identifies users’ access privileges • Creates and maintains data dictionary, manages database security, monitors database performance, and checks backup and recovery procedures Database Administration • What is the role of the database analyst and administrator? www.AssignmentPoint.com
Main Components of a DBMS • The four major components of a DBMS are : • Data Definition Languages (DDL) • Data Manipulation Languages (DML) • Query Language, and • Report Generator. www.AssignmentPoint.com
Data Definition Languages (DDL) • A Data Definition Languages (DDL)is used to define the structure of a database. The database structure definition is commonly known as database schema. www.AssignmentPoint.com
Data Manipulation Languages (DML) • The Data Manipulation Languages (DML)includes all the commands that enable the users to enter and manipulate the data. www.AssignmentPoint.com
