Ansi Sparc Architecture

The document describes the ANSI-SPARC database architecture model which divides databases into three levels of abstraction: external/view, conceptual/logical, and internal/physical. The external/view level describes how data is accessed without detailing the data structure. The conceptual/logical level describes what data is stored and the relationships between data. The internal/physical level describes how the data is actually stored in physical storage devices.

*ANSI-SPARC Database Architecture -Full form of.

ANSI-SPARC (American National Standard Institute-standards planning and requirements committee) -It is divided in to 3 parts as shown below.

External / View

Non technical. It describes how to access database

Conceptual / logical

Technical. It describe what data is stored & what relationship among them

Internal / physical

It describe how data is stored in storage device.

(i) (ii)

External or view:it is the highest level of data abstraction. In this section different types of were will available and they are nontechnical means dont know anything about DBMS. it describe how data is access in the database. This section hides data type and data structure of application software.

conceptual /logical: it is the next higest level of after external data abstraction. In this section the user has a knowledge but they dont know how data It describe what database is stored and relationship among them database database designer work at this level. (iii) Internal/physical:- this is the lowest level of data abstraction. -It describe how actual our data is stored in storage device. -It deals with complexity of low-level,file structure in detail -If physical level is changed themn ther is no change in next higher level. -if internal level is changed then there Is no change in next higher level.
