Chapter 2, Problem 2.1RQ
Program Plan Intro
Relational model:
- In the relational model, data are organized in tables, which consist of rows and columns.
- A data in a row or column of a table are called fields.
- Fields in a
database table are also referred as attributes of a database object.- A group of related fields are called as a record, which is also called as database object or entity.
- A group of records are called a table.
- Keys in a relational database table refer to a key field.
- To identify each record in a table, there must be at least one data field that should be unique. That is, a corresponding data field of every record should be unique.
- Therefore, key field is used to identify the unique record from a collection of records.
- For example,
- Consider a database table named “Student” that contains the student details such as “StudentID”, “StudentName”, “Marks”, which are the fields of the table, and they are altogether called as records.
- The “StudentID” contains the registration number of students, “StudentName” contains name of students, and “Marks” contain the computer science marks of each student.
- Consider a database table named “Student” that contains the student details such as “StudentID”, “StudentName”, “Marks”, which are the fields of the table, and they are altogether called as records.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Importance of relational model:
Relational model is important, due to the following reasons
- It is important because it acts as the universal model to store the data in computers and it can be easily available.
- Specific values can be easily accessed through a database.
- It can be used for the designing and implementation of commercial database.
- Its data storage capacity can be extended and it won’t depend on physical organization.
- It includes the Structured Query Language (SQL).
- It includes various features like reduced data redundancy, portability, data integrity, constraining the input and many others.
