Study Notes
Data Modeling Perspectives
- External perspective: a view of the data required to support business processes
Conceptual Design Phase
- Aim: to identify the overall structure of the data, without considering how it will be physically implemented
Conceptual Schema
- Provides: a high-level, abstract representation of the data, independent of hardware or software constraints
Logical Model
- Main purpose: to translate the conceptual schema into a logical structure, which can be used to implement the physical database
Database Design Phases
- Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram: used during the conceptual design phase
