This chapter introduces the data models, the formal way in which data relationships are expressed to database software. The relational data model is evaluated for the first time and it is discussed what it means
Just like SQL is a query language designed for the relational data model, XQuery is a language designed specifically to query XML data. 正如SQL是为关系型数据模型设计的查询语言一样,XQuery是专为查询XML数据设计的语言。 www.ibm.com 2. I'm glad I'm not bound to the relational data model. 所...

Relational Model Terminology A relation is a table with columns and rows. Only applies to logical structure of the database, not the physical structure. A relation corresponds to an entity set, or collection of entities. An entity is a person, place, event, or thing about which data is col...

1.2 Purpose of Database Systems 在使用数据库之前,一般用文件系统来存储数据,而用文件系统存储数据有一些明显弊端: Data redundancy and inconsistency. 存储信息的文件和应用往往是由不同程序员分别开发维护的,且时间跨度较长,不同文件之间很有可能存在冗余信息或者不一致的数据。 Difficulty in accessing data. 数据...
Conventionally, every database must adhere to a specific data model, which determines the logical structure of data, and the manner in which data is stored, organized, and manipulated by database systems. The relational model has become the dominant data model of databases since its inception in...
In this chapter we looked at the evolution of data models and compared the object and relational data models. We looked at some of the difficulties involved in fitting object-oriented systems and relational databases together, and we looked at how some w
Record-based data models such as the relational data model, network data model, and hierarchical data model (see Section 2.3.2). Physical data modelsdescribe how data is stored in the computer (see Section 2.3.3). Answer: •Physical data independence is the ability to modify the physical ...
