Introduction to Database Models
A database model is a conceptual
representation of a database
structure.
It helps organize and store data in a
logical manner.
Database models provide a
framework for designing and
managing databases.
Hierarchical Model
The hierarchical model organizes data
in a tree-like structure.
It allows each record to have a parent
and multiple children.
This model is efficient for one-to-many
relationships but lacks flexibility.

Network Model
The network model connects records
through multiple paths.
It allows many-to-many relationships
between data entities.
This model is more flexible than the
hierarchical model but can be
complex to implement.

Relational Model
The relational model organizes data
into tables with rows and columns.
It establishes relationships between
tables using primary and foreign keys.
This model is widely used and
provides a flexible and scalable
structure.

Entity-Relationship Model
The entity-relationship model
represents entities, attributes, and
relationships.
It uses entity-relationship diagrams to
visualize the database structure.
This model is helpful for designing
complex databases with clear
relationships.

Object-Oriented Model
The object-oriented model represents
data as objects with attributes and
methods.
It supports inheritance, encapsulation,
and polymorphism.
This model is useful for complex data
structures and object-oriented
programming.

NoSQL Model
The NoSQL model encompasses
various non-relational database
models.
It is designed to handle large volumes
of unstructured and semi-structured
data.
NoSQL databases offer high
scalability, flexibility, and
performance.

Summary
Database models provide a structured
approach to organizing and managing
data.
Each model has its own strengths and
weaknesses, catering to different
requirements.
Understanding different database
models helps in making informed
design decisions.
