    FACULTY OF CS & IT
    Relational Model Terminology
     The relational model was invented by E.F. Codd
     A relation is a table with columns and rows.
     Only applies to logical structure of the database, not the
    physical structure.
     Attribute is a named column of a relation.
     Domain is the set of allowable values for one or
    more attributes.
     Domain refers to:
     Data type of values &
     Range of Values

    2
    Cont
     Tuple is a row of a relation.
     Degree is the number of attributes in a
    relation.
     Cardinality is the number of tuples in a
    relation.
     Relational Database is a collection of
    normalized relations with distinct relation
    names.

    Cont
    Examples of Attribute Domains
    Alternative Terminology for
    Relational Model
    Database Relations
     Relation schema
     Named relation defined by a set of attribute and domain

    name pairs
     Relational database schema
     Set of relation schemas, each with a distinct name.
    Properties of Relations
     Unique Identifier for Relations
     Relation name is distinct from all other relation names in

    relational schema.
     Atomic Values
     Each cell of relation contains exactly one atomic (single)

    value.
     Unique Identifier for Attributes
     Each attribute has a distinct name.

     Domain Values for Attributes.


     Values of an attribute are all from the same domain.
    Properties of Relations
     No Duplication
     Each tuple is distinct; there are no duplicate tuples.

     Order of Attribute not Necessary


     Order of attributes has no significance.

     Order of Records not Necessary


     Order of tuples has no significance, theoretically.
     Logical relationship
     Data from the multiple relations can be accessed by the
    logical relation among the relations by defining the
    database keys.
