1. Introduction
This chapter is designed to get you started on using the Database Diagram
editor for Eclipse.
2. Concept
A data model is a conceptual representation of the data structures
which include :
- The data objects
- The associations between data objects
- The rules which control operations on the objects
A data model is independent of hardware or software constraints.
The data model focuses on representing the data as the developer sees
it in
the "real world".
The data model is a bridge between :
- The concepts that make up real-world events and processes
- The physical representation of those concepts in a database
The Database Diagram editor will help you to follow the Database process :
- Analysis
- Conceptual Design
- Logical Design
- Physical Design
- Implementation
