- 1. 1
- 2. 2 There are three Stages of Data Abstraction for Data Independence: To achieve Data Independence, we organize data into levels of abstraction: 1. External Level – How users view the data 2. Conceptual Level – The logical structure of the data 3. Internal Level – How data is physically stored Data Abstraction refers to the process of hiding irrelevant details from the user DATA ABSTRACTION
- 3. 3 View Level: This is the highest level of data abstraction. It allows users to see only the specific parts of the database they need. This improves user experience by simplifying access and focusing on relevant information. All users interact with the database through this level. Logical/Conceptual Level The next higher or intermediate level, that is the logical level. It describes what data is kept in the database and how the data are connected to one another. This level provides a complete view of the entire database structure by specifying tables, fields, and the relationships between them.
- 4. 4 Physical Level: This is the lowest level of data abstraction. It explains how data is stored on the system, such as the use of files, folders, and indexes. This level is managed by developers or database administrators. It is more technical and usually hidden from regular users.
- 5. 5 Advantages of Data Abstraction It simplifies things for the users. While retrieving data abstractions in DBMS improves system efficiency. Users' usability is increased. Increases the application's security by hiding implementation details from users. Increases code duplication and reuse.
- 6. 6 What is Data Independence? Data Independence means you can change the structure of the database at one level without affecting the next level. It allows the data to be separate from the applications that use it, making the system easier to manage and update. Mapping is the process of translating data and requests between the different levels (tiers) of a database system. There are three types: • External Mapping – Connects user views to the conceptual level • Conceptual/Internal Mapping – Connects the logical design to physical storage • Internal Mapping – Handles data at the physical level Mapping & Data Independence
- 7. 7 External/Conceptual Mapping or Logical Data Independence The ability to update the logical schema without changing the external schema or application software is referred to as this feature. Any changes to the data's conceptual representation would have no effect on the user's perception of the data. Examples of changes under Physical Data Independence Due to Physical independence, any of the below change will not affect the conceptual layer. Using a new storage device like Hard Drive or Magnetic Tapes Modifying the file organization technique in the Database Switching to different data structures. Changing the access method. Change of Location of Database from C drive to D Drive..
- 8. 8 Examples of changes under Logical Data Independence Due to Logical independence, any of the below change will not affect the external layer. Add/Modify/Delete a new attribute, entity or relationship is possible without a rewrite of existing application programs Merging two records into one Breaking an existing record into two or more records Using a new storage device like Hard Drive or Magnetic Tapes
- 9. 9 Assists you in improving the data's quality. Database system upkeep has gotten more inexpensive. Standardization and database security enhancements Allow developers to concentrate on the overall structure of the database rather than the inside implementation. It enables you to enhance an undamaged or undivided condition. Database inconsistency is greatly decreased. It is necessary to be able to easily make changes at the physical level in order to improve the system’s performance. Advantages of Data Independence
