The relational data model<\/strong> provides conceptual tools to design the database schema<\/strong> of the relational database. The relational model describes the data, relationship between that data, data sematic and constraints on the data in the relational database.<\/p>\n

The relational model expresses the data and relationship among the data in the form of tables<\/strong>. There is a lot more to discuss about, the relational model. In this section, we will discuss the relational model, its diagram, its characteristics, its constraints, advantages & disadvantages in detail.<\/p>\n

    What is Relational Model?<\/h3>\n

    Relational Data Model was first prosed by Ted Codd<\/strong> of IBM in the 1970s<\/strong>. But, its commercial implementations were observed in the 1980s<\/strong>. The relational data model is employed for storing and processing<\/strong> the data in the database.<\/p>\n

    The building blocks of the relational model has been developed on the concept of mathematical relation<\/strong>. And its theoretical concepts are based on set theory<\/strong> and first-order predicate logic<\/strong>. The relational model is also referred to as the record-based model<\/strong> as it frames the database in fixed-format records<\/strong> of various types.<\/p>\n

    A relational model is popular for its simplicity and possibility of hiding the low-level implementation details from database developer and database users.<\/p>\n

    Relational data model expresses the database as a set of relations<\/strong> (table of values). Each relation has columns<\/strong> and rows<\/strong> which are formally called attributes<\/strong> and tuples<\/strong> respectively. Each tuple in relation is a real-world entity<\/strong> or relationship<\/strong>. The name of the relation and the name of attributes contribute to interpreting the sense of each tuple. Like it expresses what kind of entities does a relation have?<\/p>\n

    Let us count points to understand the relational model in short:<\/p>\n
