Study Notes
Logical Design Phase Purpose
- To translate user requirements into a logical model, independent of specific technologies
- Focuses on entities, attributes, and relationships, creating an abstract representation of data
Physical Design Phase Conversion
- Logical model is translated into a physical model
- Primary unique identifier from the logical model is converted to a physical model
- Physical model considers specific database management system and hardware constraints
Physical Design Phase Considerations
- Specific database management system
- Hardware and software limitations
- Storage structures and access methods
Distinguishing Entities
- Primary Key: A unique identifier used to distinguish between instances of an entity
- Ensures data integrity and efficient data access
Logical Design Phase Checks
- Data dependencies
- Data integrity
- Data consistency
- Data completeness
- Data accuracy
- Data security
- Data recovery
- Data performance
- Data scalability
