It is also referred as the conceptual design. Data modeling helps in the visual representation of data and enforces business rules, regulatory compliances, and government policies on the data. Data Models ensure consistency in naming conventions, default values, semantics, security while ensuring quality of the data..It describes the data contained in the database, relationship between data items and the constraints on the data.

Conceptual data model

This Data Model defines WHAT the system contains. The purpose is to organize, scope and define business concepts and rules. It  is an organized view of database concepts and their relationships.. It does not have the complete data of the database. It is used to create  entities, their attributes, and relationships.

·Includes the important entities and the relationships among them.

·No attribute is specified.

·No primary key is specified.

Physical Data model

This Data Model describes HOW the system will be implemented using a specific DBMS system. The purpose is actual implementation of the database.It offers database abstraction and helps generate the schema. The physical data model also helps in visualizing database structure by replicating database column keys, constraints, indexes, triggers and other schemas.

We are at the point where we must make a decision on the promotions of Margaret Adams and Beth Taylor, members of our administrative staff. They are both very competent employees, and I am convinced that they are capable of handling even more responsibility.

Margaret’s file indicates that she has history of chemical dependency but has had treatment and has been OK for a year. She is not currently enrolled in any treatment program. She believes that she should very rarely stay late at the office or participate in weekend meetings. She believes that her first duty is to her health and that she should manage her time accordingly.

In Beth’s case, I am not altogether certain that she is willing to subordinate time with her family to time on the job, to the extent that may be required. I have had the opportunity to explore with her the general problem of family vs. job, and she strongly believes that she should very rarely stay late at the office or participate in weekend meetings. She believes that her first duty is to her family and that she should manage her time accordingly. These viewpoints have not affected their performance in the past, but it could be a problem in a more demanding role.

Which option do you choose?

1. Promote Margaret only.

2. Promote Beth only.

3. Promote both Margaret and Beth.

4. Promote neither Margaret nor Beth.
