Relational Databases Lee Rudd Abstract Data for our programs are stored in various formats. The most commonly used format is in the form of a database since databases are not dependent on a single program or hardware platform. These databases are stored in five structures of hierarchical‚ network‚ relational‚ multidimensional‚ and object-oriented. Hierarchical structure organizes data in a one to many relationship. The network goes of the hierarchical structure by organizing data in

The construction of Object-Oriented Database Management Systems started in the middle 80 ’s‚ at a prototype building level‚ and at the beginning of the 90 ’s the first commercial systems appeared. The interest for the development of such systems stems from the need to cover the modeling deficiencies of their predecessors‚ that is the relational database management systems. They were intended to be used by applications that have to handle big and complex data such as Computer Aided Engineering‚ Computer
Premium Object-oriented programming Database Relational model
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

I. Column Oriented Database A column-oriented DBMS is a database management system (DBMS) that stores data tables as sections of columns of data rather than as rows of data. In comparison‚ most relational DBMSs store data in rows. This column-oriented DBMS has advantages for data warehouses‚ customer relationship management (CRM) systems‚ and library card catalogs‚ and other ad hoc inquiry systems where aggregates are computed over large numbers of similar data items. It is possible to achieve
