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.
