    The document discusses the three phases of database design: conceptual design, logical design, and physical design. Conceptual design involves building a model of the data independent of physical considerations. Logical design refines the conceptual model based on a specific data model like relational. Physical design produces a description of the database implementation on storage tailored to a specific DBMS.

    Chapter

    Database Design,
    and Administration
    Database Design
     Process of creating a design for a database that will
    support the enterprise’s mission statement and
    mission objectives for the required database system.
    Database Design
     Main approaches include:
     Top-down
     Bottom-up
     Inside-out
     Mixed
    Cont…
    Database Design
     Main purposes of data modeling include:
     to assist in understanding the meaning (semantics) of
    the data;
     to facilitate communication about the information
    requirements.

     Building data model requires answering questions


    about entities, relationships, and attributes.
    Database Design
     A data model ensures we understand:
    - each user’s perspective of the data;
    - nature of the data itself, independent of its physical
    representations;
    - use of data across user views.
    Criteria to Produce an Optimal
    Data Model
    Database Design
     Three phases of database design:

     Conceptual database design


     Logical database design
     Physical database design.
    Conceptual Database Design
     Process of constructing a model of the data used in
    an enterprise, independent of all physical
    considerations.

     Data model is built using the information in users’


    requirements specification.

     Conceptual data model is source of information for


    logical design phase.
    Logical Database Design
     Process of constructing a model of the data used in
    an enterprise based on a specific data model (e.g.
    relational), but independent of a particular DBMS
    and other physical considerations.

     Conceptual data model is refined and mapped on to


    a logical data model.
    Physical Database Design
     Process of producing a description of the
    database implementation on secondary storage.

     Describes base relations, file organizations, and


    indexes used to achieve efficient access to data.
    Also describes any associated integrity
    constraints and secuirty measures.

     Tailored to a specific DBMS system.
