• Used in some mainframe DBMS packages• Many-to-many relationships

Relational StructureRelational Structure
• Most widely used structure• Data elements are stored in tables• Row represents a record; column is a field• Can relate data in one file with data in another,
if both files share a common data element

Relational OperationsRelational Operations
• Select• Create a subset of records that meet a stated
criterion• Example: employees earning more than $30,000
• Join• Combine two or more tables temporarily• Looks like one big table
• Project• Create a subset of columns in a table

Multidimensional StructureMultidimensional Structure
• Variation of relational model• Uses multidimensional structures to
organize data
• Data elements are viewed as being in cubes
• Popular for analytical databases that support Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

Object-Oriented StructureObject-Oriented Structure
• An object consists of• Data values describing the attributes of an entity• Operations that can be performed on the data
• Encapsulation• Combine data and operations
• Inheritance• New objects can be created by replicating some
or all of the characteristics of parent objects

Object-Oriented StructureObject-Oriented Structure
• Used in object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS)
• Supports complex data types more efficiently than relational databases• Examples: graphic images, video clips,
web pages

Evaluation of Database StructuresEvaluation of Database Structures
• Hierarchical• Works for structured, routine transactions• Can’t handle many-to-many relationship
• Network• More flexible than hierarchical• Unable to handle ad hoc requests
• Relational• Easily responds to ad hoc requests• Easier to work with and maintain• Not as efficient/quick as hierarchical or network

Database DevelopmentDatabase Development
• Database Administrator (DBA)• In charge of enterprise database development
• Improves the integrity and security of organizational databases
• Uses Data Definition Language (DDL) to develop and specify data contents, relationships, and structure
• Stores these specifications in a data dictionary or a metadata repository

Data DictionaryData Dictionary
• A data dictionary• Contains data about data (metadata)• Relies on specialized software component to
manage a database of data definitions
• It contains information on..• The names and descriptions of all types of data
records and their interrelationships• Requirements for end users’ access and use of
application programs• Database maintenance• Security
