2. Hierarchical database model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_database_model

   A relational-database implementation of a hierarchical model was first discussed in published form in 1992 [2] (see also nested set model). Hierarchical data organization schemes resurfaced with the advent of XML in the late 1990s [3] (see also XML database). The hierarchical structure is used primarily today for storing geographic information ...

3. Database schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

   The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term " schema " refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases ).

4. Database model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_model

   The basic data structure of the relational model is the table, where information about a particular entity (say, an employee) is represented in rows (also called tuples) and columns. Thus, the "relation" in "relational database" refers to the various tables in the database; a relation is a set of tuples. The columns enumerate the various ...

5. Relational schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_schema

   The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases). The formal definition of a database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database.

6. Snowflake schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_schema

   The snowflake schema is represented by centralized fact tables which are connected to multiple dimensions. "Snowflaking" is a method of normalizing the dimension tables in a star schema. When it is completely normalized along all the dimension tables, the resultant structure resembles a snowflake with the fact table in the middle. The principle ...

7. Database storage structures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_storage_structures

   Database tables and indexes may be stored on disk in one of a number of forms, including ordered/unordered flat files, ISAM, heap files, hash buckets, or B+ trees. Each form has its own particular advantages and disadvantages. The most commonly used forms are B-trees and ISAM.

8. Anchor modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_Modeling

   When such a translation is done the tables in the relational database will mostly be in the sixth normal form. Unlike the star schema ( dimensional modelling ) and the classical relational model (3NF), data vault and anchor modeling are well-suited for capturing changes that occur when a source system is changed or added, but are considered ...

9. Database design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_design

   Set up the table relationships – Look at each table and decide how the data in one table is related to the data in other tables. Add fields to tables or create new tables to clarify the relationships, as necessary. Refine the design – Analyze the design for errors. Create tables and add a few records of sample data.
