THE HIERARCHICAL DATA MODELSECTION 9 Fundamentals
Introduction • Relational model • Grounded in mathematics • Network model • Evolved from effort to establish standards • Hierarchical • Evolved?
Some Hierarchical Systems • IMS • Most widely used • Other Hierarchical Systems
Developed in early 1960s • The reason? • Still remains an actively used DB
Basic Concepts • Special case of the network model • Parent • Child
Tree • Hierarchical data model • Segment types • Parent-child relationship type
A conceptual model RETIREMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE 1 1 HAS- EMPLOYEE PROVIDED- FOR M M
A network data model DEPARTMENT RETIREMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT/ EMPLOYEE SET RETIREMNT PLAN/ EMPLOYEE SET EMPLOYEE
A hierarchical data model DEPARTMENT RETIREMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT/ EMPLOYEE PCR RETIREMNT PLAN/ EMPLOYEE PCR EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE
Tree Structure Conventions • Root segment • Every segment a child • A parent can have many children • A child can only have one parent
A leaf segment • Ancestors and dependent segments • Root of a sub-tree

Preorder Traversal Method • Begin at the root of the tree and record the root segment in a file • At any point, after recording a segment, record the leftmost child segment of the segment just recorded. If the segment has no child segment, move back up the tree one level and record the leftmost unrecorded child segment of the segment at that level. Continue until all segments are accounted for.

The Models Relationship to Conceptual Modeling • Transforming a conceptual model to a hierarchical data structure • One - Many Relationships
Transforming One-Many Relationships DEPTNAME LOCATION MANAGER EMPNAME ADDRESS YRS-SVC HAS- EMPLOYEE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE 1 N DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE DEPTNAME EMPNAME LOCATION ADDRESS YRS-SVC MANAGER Very simple

The following rules: • For each entity set E in a conceptual model, create a segment type S in the hierarchical model. All attributes of E are represented as fields of S. • For one-many relationships between two entity sets, create corresponding tree structure diagrams, making each entity a segment and making the one-many relationship a parent-child relationship. The segment on the “many” side becomes the child, and the segment on the one side becomes the parent.

The IMS Architecture • Hierarchical data model has no standard • Must be hierarchically oriented • Limit on segment types
DL/1 • Database Description (DBD) • Program Specification Block (PSB) • Program Communication Block
Defining the Physical Database – The DBD • The DBD is analogous to the network schema • An example – four segment types • DEPARTMENT • EMPLOYEE • SKILL • ASSIGNEDTO
DBD NAME = DEPTPERS, ACCESS = HISAM • SEGM NAME = DEPARTMENT, PARENT = 0, BYTES = 20 • FIELD NAME = (DEPTNAME,SEQ,U), BYTES = 10, START = 1, TYPE = C • FIELD NAME = MANAGER, BYTES = 10, START = 11, TYPE = C • SEGM NAME = EMPLOYEE, PARENT = DEPARTMENT, BYTES = 22 • FIELD NAME = (EMPNAME,SEQ), BYTES = 20, START = 1, TYPE = C • FIELD NAME = YRS-SVC, BYTES = 2, START = 21, TYPE = P • SEGM NAME = SKILL, PARENT = EMPLOYEE, BYTES = 17 • FIELD NAME = (SKILLCODE,SEQ), BYTES = 2, START = 1, TYPE = P • FIELD NAME = SKILLNAME, BYTES = 15, START = 3, TYPE = C • SEGM NAME = ASSIGNEDTO, PARENT = EMPLOYEE, BYTES = 4 • FIELD NAME = (PROJNI,SEQ), BYTES = 2, START = 1, TYPE = P • FIELD NAME = DIVISION, BYTES = 2, START = 3, TYPE = C • DBGEN
Defining the Logical Database – The PSB • Analogous to the network subschema • The PCB • Sensitive segments
PCB TYPE = DB, DBNAME = DEPTERS, PROCOPT = A, KEYLEN = 18 • SENSEG NAME = DEPARTMENT, PARENT = 0 • SENSEG NAME = DEPTNAME, START = 1 • SENSEG NAME = EMPLOYEE, PARENT = DEPARTMENT • SENFLD NAME = EMPNAME, START = 1 • PROCOPT G = GET I = INSERT R = REPLACE D = DELETE A = ALL
IMS Access Methods • HSAM • HISAM • HDAM • HIDAM

The IMS Data Manipulation Language • The language? • Program Work Area • Segment templates • Currency templates
GET UNIQUE (GU) GET NEXT (GN) GET NEXT WITHIN PARENT (GNP) <hold options> GHU, GHN, GHNP INSERT (ISRT) REPLACE (REPL) DELETE (DLET) Retrieve the first segment that satisfies a given condition Retrieve the next segment Retrieves the next segment, but only within the current parent Lock the database for GU, GN, GNP Add a new segment to the database Modify the value of a segment field Delete a segment DL/1 • Data Language 1 • Commonly used commands Command <segment name> <WHERE qualification>
Get Unique (GU) • A Simple Segment Retrieval GU DEPARTMENT (DEPTNAME = ‘Marketing’) • Retrieval of a Dependent Segment GU DEPARTMENT (DEPTNAME = ‘Marketing’) EMPLOYEE? (EMPNAME = ‘Steve Smith’)
