Sample text

2 shows some of the data needed to support an insurance system. We can see a few things straightaway: ■ 1 The data is organized into simple tables. This is exactly how data is organized in a relational database, and we could give this model to a database administrator as a specification of what to build, just as an architect gives a plan to a builder. We have shown a few rows of data for illustration; in practice the database might contain thousands or millions of rows in the same format. Data models can be presented in many different ways.

In our experience, the most serious problem with terminology is that its ambiguity frequently reflects a lack of clarity in methodology, roles, and deliverables. In particular, it may effectively license a database technician to make changes to tables and columns without the involvement of the data modeler. We cannot emphasize too strongly that the conceptual schema should be a direct implementation of the tables specified in the physical data model—a final, negotiated, deliverable of the data modeling process.

Insulation of this kind is a key feature of DBMSs and is called data independence. The formal terminology of conceptual, external, and internal schemas is not widely used in practice, particularly by database designers and administrators, who tend to think of the database in terms of the way it is described in the data definition language (DDL)8 of the particular DBMS: 1. The total database design (all three schemas) is usually referred to as the database design (reasonably enough) or sometimes the physical database design, the latter term emphasizing that it is the actual implemented design, rather than some earlier version, that is being described.
