A database management system provides three views of the database data:

 The external level defines how each group of end-users sees the organization of data in
the database. A single database can have any number of views at the external level.
 The conceptual level unifies the various external views into a compatible global view.
[35]
 It provides the synthesis of all the external views. It is out of the scope of the various
database end-users, and is rather of interest to database application developers and
database administrators.
 The internal level (or physical level) is the internal organization of data inside a DBMS. It
is concerned with cost, performance, scalability and other operational matters. It deals with
storage layout of the data, using storage structures such as indexes to enhance
performance. Occasionally it stores data of individual views (materialized views), computed
from generic data, if performance justification exists for such redundancy. It balances all the
external views' performance requirements, possibly conflicting, in an attempt to optimize
overall performance across all activities.
