Why Relational Model Required?: Presented By: Rupa Ghosh 10DM049

The relational model was proposed by E.F. Codd in 1970 and represents data in tabular form with rows and unique keys. It breaks data down into smaller pieces that can be connected through relationships. The relational model is the most widely used database model because it allows for data independence, simplicity, and a theoretical background. It organizes data in a flexible way using tables rather than predefined structures like the hierarchical or network models.

DATABASE
• Database
– Integrated collection of data
– Database management system (DBMS)
• Store and organize data consistent with
database’s format
RELATIONAL MODEL

• Proposed by E.F Codd in 1970.


• A tabular representation of data.
• Information is categorized and sorted.
• Every row have a unique identification or key.
• Two important keys
– primary keys
– foreign keys
Contd..
• Data broken down to pieces.
• Connected by using relationships
Why relational model?
• Most widely used model.
– Vendors: IBM, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle,
Sybase, etc.
• “Legacy systems” in older models
– E.G., IBM’s IMS (hierarchical model)
• Recent competitor: object-oriented model
– ObjectStore, Versant, Ontos, O2
– A synthesis emerging: object-relational model
• Informix UDS, UniSQL, Oracle, DB2
ADVANTGES

• Allows for Data Independence.


• Simplicity
• A good theoretical background .
• Organizes the data.
• Provides simple and flexible way to
describe data.
The Relational Model versus
Earlier Models
• Hierarchical Model :
-showed child-parent type relation
-tree structure is inflexible
• Network model:
-links between records of the same type
are not allowed
-many to many relationships
-predefined datas.
Contd

• Relational model:
-express relationship between data.
-model allows users to record and
relate large amounts of data.
-no predefined data.
-versatile, simple, clean in structure
Contd…
- Easy to design
- Security control
- Accuracy ensured
conclusion
• model is the de facto foundation for
the majority of modern databases .
• simple method of breaking
information up into small pieces that
can be quickly searched.
• uses the concept of a relation using a
table rather then a graph or shapes.
