    External Level: Technology

    Uploaded by

    Yashita Pruthi
    This document summarizes the three levels of a database management system architecture: the external, conceptual, and internal levels. The external level allows users to view desired data without knowing database schema details. The conceptual level describes data relationships and security. The internal level describes how data is physically stored on storage devices and allocated space. It also compares characteristics of structured versus unstructured data such as technology used, transaction management, flexibility, scalability, data types, and data residence. Finally, it provides links about NoSQL database types and dimensional modeling.

    This architecture has three levels:

    1. External level
    2. Conceptual level
    3. Internal level

    1. External level
    It is also called view level. The reason this level is called “view” is because
    several users can view their desired data from this level which is internally
    fetched from database with the help of conceptual and internal level mapping.

    The user doesn’t need to know the database schema details such as data
    structure, table definition etc. user is only concerned about data which is what
    returned back to the view level after it has been fetched from database
    (present at the internal level).

    External level is the “top level” of the Three Level DBMS Architecture.

    2. Conceptual level
    It is also called logical level. The whole design of the database such as
    relationship among data, schema of data etc. are described in this level.

    Database constraints and security are also implemented in this level of


    architecture. This level is maintained by DBA (database administrator).

    3. Internal level
    This level is also known as physical level. This level describes how the data is
    actually stored in the storage devices. This level is also responsible for
    allocating space to the data. This is the lowest level of the architecture.

    Difference between structured data and unstructured data

     Technology

    Structured data technology is based on a Relational database table


    whereas unstructured data technology is based on character and binary
    data.

     Transaction Management
    You will see the matured transactions and different concurrency techniques
    in structured data. On the other hand, in unstructured data, there is no
    transaction management and no concurrency.

     Flexibility

    Structured data is less flexible and dependent on schema whereas


    unstructured data is very flexible and not dependent on schema which
    means the absence of schema.

     Scalability

    In structured data, it’s very difficult to scale database schema. On the


    contrary, unstructured data is easily scalable.

     Characteristics

    Structured data is pre-defined data models, usually text only, and easy to
    search whereas unstructured data is no pre-defined data model, it may
    come in text, images, sound, videos, or other formats, and it is also difficult
    to search, unlike structured data.

     Reside in

    The place of structured data is relational database and data warehouse on


    the other hand; unstructured data resides in applications, NoSQL database,
    data warehouse, and data lakes.
