Week 2
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management
Explain the key concepts and components of the relational database model as outlined in Chapter
3. Discuss the role of tables, keys, and relational set operators in a relational database. Describe
the different types of relationships in relational modeling, and how data redundancy and integrity
are managed. Additionally, explain the importance of indexes and the data dictionary in the
context of relational databases.
Word count requirement: 1000-1200 words.
Chapter 3
The relational database model
A Logical View of Data
- Relational model: view data logically rather than physically
- Table: Structural and data independence; resembles a file conceptually
- Relational database model is easier to understand and hierarchical
- Logical vie of relational database is based on relation: Relational thought of as a table
- Table: two dimensional structure composed of rows and columns
- Persistent representation of logical relation
- Contains group of related entities (entity set)
Keys
- Each row in a table must be uniquely identifiable
- Key: one or more attributes that determine other attributes
