Data Modeling Development Cycle

The data modeling development cycle consists of 5 phases: 1) gathering business requirements by interacting with analysts and end users, 2) conceptual data modeling which includes major entities and relationships for initial planning, 3) logical data modeling which implements the conceptual model to represent all business requirements, 4) physical data modeling with complete tables, columns and relationships for database implementation, and 5) generating SQL code from the physical model to create the database.

Data Modeling Development Cycle

1. Gathering Business Requirements - First Phase:

Data Modelers have to interact with business analysts to get the functional requirements and
with end users to find out the reporting needs.

2. Conceptual Data Modeling(CDM) - Second Phase: See Figure 1.1

This data model includes all major entities, relationships and it will not contain much detail
about attributes and is often used in the INITIAL PLANNING PHASE.

3. Logical Data Modeling(LDM) - Third Phase: See Figure 1.2

This is the actual implementation of a conceptual model in a logical data model. A logical
data model is the version of the model that represents all of the business requirements of an
organization.

4. Physical Data Modeling(PDM) - Fourth Phase: See Figure 1.3

This is a complete model that includes all required tables, columns, relationship, database
properties for the physical implementation of the database.

5. Database - Fifth Phase:

DBAs instruct the data modeling tool to create SQL code from physical data model. Then the
SQL code is executed in server to create databases.
