    Study Notes

    Three-Tier Architecture

    • The Database Tier deals with the actual database management system.
    • The Presentation Tier is the first level in the three-tier architecture.
    • The three tiers are needed to separate the presentation, application logic, and data storage for better maintainability, scalability, and flexibility.

    Application Server

    • The Application Server level in the three-tier architecture deals with the business logic and rules.

    Data Models

    • A Conceptual Data Model describes the database at a very high level and is useful to understand the needs or requirements of the database.
    • An Entity-Relationship Model specializes in entities, relationships, and attributes that are used by database designers.

    Purpose of a Data Model

    • The purpose of a data model in a database management system (DBMS) is to provide a conceptual representation of the data structures and relationships.
    • A data model provides us with a simplified and abstract view of the complex real-world data, which helps in understanding, designing, and communicating the database structure.

    Relational Models

    • There are two types of relational models.
