Relational Model Concepts

The relational model represents the database as a collection of relations

relation is thought of as a table of values, each row in the table represents a collection of related
data values.
a row is called a tuple, a column
header is called an attribute, and the table is called a relation. The data type
describing the types of values that can appear in each column is represented by a
domain of possible values. We now define these terms—domain, tuple, attribute,
and relation—formally. Attributes
Relation

tuples

Domain
A domain D is a set of atomic values. By atomic we mean that each value in the
domain is indivisible as far as the formal relational model is concerned. A common
method of specifying a domain is to specify a data type from which the data values
forming the domain are drawn
