    A database schema describes how data is structured and organized in a database without containing the actual data. It includes logical, physical, and view schemas. The logical schema shows how attributes are linked between tables, the physical schema represents how data is stored physically, and the view schema describes how users interact with the database. Schemas help structure unstructured data and design database management systems. They allow for easy transfer of database objects and independent management of data from physical storage.

    Schemas

    A database schema is like a blueprint or an architecture of exactly how our


    data will look. The schema doesn’t hold the data itself, but instead it describes
    the data and how it may be related to other tables or models.
    Schemas structures the unstructured data into structured data. Schemas are
    helpful in designing database management systems.

    Figure: Schemas
    DATABASE SCHEMA TYPES:
    There are three main database schema types namely view, logical, physical
    database schema which define different parts of the schema:
    Physical Schema- The physical database schema represents how the actual
    data is stored on disk storage. That is the actual code that will be used to create
    the structure of your database.
    Logical schema- A logical database schema represents how the data is
    organized in tables. It explains how attributes from tables are linked to each
    other.For creating a logical schema, we use ER Model technique.
    View Schema - the view schema describes the database design at view level
    which describes how the user interacts with the database
    Advantages of Database Schemas:
    1. A database schema can be easily transferred to another user.
    2. It enables the transfer of database objects between schemas.
    3. Data can be managed independent of physical storage.

    Difference between Database and Database Schema:

    DATABASE DATABASE SCHEMA

    The database contains interrelated Database schema is a structural view


    data of data

    Contains the data Does not contain any data of its own

    Data Changes Schema does not change

    Instances:
    Instance of a database is defined as the data or collection of information stored
    in a database at a particular moment of time.
    ● Data changes frequently in the case of an instance.
    ● Whenever a new record or data is added in the database, data will be
    updated.
    ● It contains a snapshot of the database.
    DataModels define the variable declaration in a table that belongs to a
    particular database. The value of variables which are defined at a particular
    moment of time are called instances.
