  • Data models will help to represent the required data and the format that is used for different businesses processes.
  • They help to prevent data redundancy.
  • The database design tools have made the development of data models to possibly diminish the database design error potential.
  • It also helps to eliminate the discrepancies between the database designs components and the real world data environment.
