Relational Database Concept

I-12

•

Dr. E.F. Codd proposed the relational model for database systems in 1970.

•

It is the basis for the relational database management system (RDBMS).

•

The relational model consists of the following: –

Collection of objects or relations

–

Set of operators to act on the relations

–

Data integrity for accuracy and consistency

Entity Relationship Model • Create an entity relationship diagram from business specifications or narratives EMPLOYEE #* number * name o job title

assigned to composed of

DEPARTMENT #* number * name o location

• Scenario – “. . . Assign one or more employees to a

department . . .” – “. . . Some departments do not yet have assigned employees . . .” I-15

Relating Multiple Tables •

Each row of data in a table is uniquely identified by a primary key (PK).

•

You can logically relate data from multiple tables using foreign keys (FK). Table Name: DEPARTMENTS

Table Name: EMPLOYEES

Summary

I-25

•

The Oracle9i Server is the database for Internet computing.

•

Oracle9i is based on the object relational database management system.

•

Relational databases are composed of relations, managed by relational operations, and governed by data integrity constraints.

•

With the Oracle Server, you can store and manage information by using the SQL language and PL/SQL engine.
