Data models in database management

Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

It is a combination of three components: 1) a collection of data structure types (the building blocks of any database that conforms to the model);

2) a collection of operators or inferencing rules, which can be applied to any valid instances of the data types listed in (1), to retrieve or derive data from any parts of those structures in any combinations desired;

3) a collection of general integrity rules, which implicitly or explicitly define the set of consistent database states or changes of state or both—these rules may sometimes be expressed as insert-update-delete rules.
