CCP505.13 1
RECAP
 In the previous sessions we discussed about

 the File Organisations

 Random File Organisation and its features

CCP505.13 2
OBJECTIVES

On completion of this period, you would be

able to know
 Definition of a Data Model
 Classification of Data Models
 Brief overview of the relational, network and
hierarchical models

CCP505.13 3
DATA MODEL

 Explains what is data and data base

 The data model plays an important role in database
design
 Mechanism that describes how the data is stored in the
database

CCP505.13 4
DATA MODEL

It is a collection of conceptual tools for

describing
 Data
 Data relationships
 Data symantics and
 Data constraints

What Is Hierarchical Model

 It was one of the earliest

proposed data models
 It represents data as tree
structures, composed of
hierarchy of data records

CCP505.13 8
Advent Of Network Model
 The simple structure of the hierarchic database was not
suitable when the data had a complex structure.

 In the early 1970’s the hierarchical data model was

modified by allowing records to have multiple parent-
child relationships

CCP505.13 9
NETWORK MODEL

 What is network ?
 These Parent-Child
relationships are known
as sets in network
model
 The figure shows a Fig 3
graphical representation
of the network model

CCP505.13 10
RELATIONAL DATA MODEL

 What is relational data ?

 Even the most complex hierarchical and network
databases can be represented as a simple
collection of two dimensional tables, known as
Relational Database Management System
(RDBMS)

CCP505.13 11
RELATIONAL MODEL
 The relational model was
first proposed by IBM’s
Dr.E.F.Codd in 1970. NAME EMPNO ADDRESS OFF_TEL RES_TEL

 CODD's rules framed

 Data is stored in tables.
 It uses a collection of
tables to represent both RELATIONAL DATA MODEL

data and relationships
among the data

CCP505.13 12
SUMMARY
 The data models are conceptual tools for
describing data and data relationships
 The major data models proposed for database
design are
 Hierarchical model
 Network model
 Relational model
