6. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Terms and Concepts F Database: –A self-describing collection of integrated records (Kroenke). –A collection of similar records with relationships between the records. (Rowley) –A collection of stored operational data used by the application systems of some particular enterprise. (C.J. Date)

7. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Terms and Concepts F Enterprise –Organization F Entity –Person, Place, Thing, Event, Concept... F Attributes –Data elements (facts) about some entity –Also sometimes called fields or items or domains F Data values –instances of a particular attribute for a particular entity

8. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Terms and Concepts F Key –an attribute or set of attributes used to identify or locate records in a file F Primary Key –an attribute or set of attributes that uniquely identifies each record in a file

9. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Terms and Concepts F Models –(1) Levels or views of the Database u Conceptual, logical, physical –(2) DBMS types u Relational, Hierarchic, Network, Object- Oriented, Object-Relational

19. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Database Design Process F Conceptual Requirements –Systems Analysis Process u Examine all of the information sources used in existing applications u Identify the characteristics of each data element –numeric –text –date/time –etc. u Examine the tasks carried out using the information u Examine results or reports created using the information

20. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Database Design Process F Conceptual Model –Merge the collective needs of all applications –Determine what Entities are being used u Some object about which information is to maintained –What are the Attributes of those entities? u Properties or characteristics of the entity u What attributes uniquely identify the entity –What are the Relationships between entities u How the entities interact with each other?

21. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Database Design Process F Logical Model –How is each entity and relationship represented in the Data Model of the DBMS u Hierarchic? u Network? u Relational? u Object-Oriented?

22. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Database Design Process F Internal Model –Choices of index file structure –Choices of data storage formats –Choices of disk layout

23. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Database Design Process F External Model –User views of the integrated database –Making the old (or updated) applications work with the new database design

24. “DOK 322 DBMS” Y.T. Developing a Conceptual Model F Overall view of the database that integrates all the needed information discovered during the requirements analysis. F Elements of the Conceptual Model are represented by diagrams, Entity-Relationship or ER Diagrams, that show the meanings and relationships of those elements independent of any particular database systems or implementation details.
