Abstract Database Systems has a practical‚ hands-on approach that makes it uniquely suited to providing a strong foundation in good database design practice. Database design is more art than science. While it’s true that a properly designed database should follow the normal forms and the relational model‚ you still have to come up with a design that reflects the business you are trying to model. This paper shows describes design process of database project. The importance of Completing the Design

History of Database Technology Past and Present The term database was popularized with the growth of the computer industry and is typically thought of as software used to store‚ index‚ manipulate‚ and retrieve information (Vaughn). Database software has been in use since the Census Bureau used a punch card system to meet the requirements for the collection‚ sorting‚ and reporting of data for the 1890 census (National Research Council). These earliest databases were flat file databases. The flat-file

Comparing and Contrasting the Relational Database Model and OO Model The relational database model is based upon tables or relations. In this model‚ the physical implementation of the database is abstracted away from the user. Users query the database using a high-level query language‚ such as SQL. The relations are made up of columns‚ which have headings indicating the attribute represented by that column. Tables have key fields‚ which can be used to identify unique records. Keys relate tables
