  • Why are there so many names for the same thing? Entity=Relation=Table, Attribute=Column=Field, Instance=Row=Record. This really confused me at the beginning of learning about databases.

  • @Riflemanm16a2 -- Think of these terms as falling into one of these two model categories: Logical and Physical.

    Logical models have: Entities composed of Attributes. Physical models have: Tables composed of Columns.

    Only the physical model supports the storage of records in rows.

  • A table in a database is Entity and column's name in a table is Attribute. Am i getting it right ?

  • Correct! A table in the physical db is equivalent to an Entity in the LDM. A column within that table is equivalent to an Attribute in the LDM.

  • 4:31 - the doctor has a skitzo episode, lol,,,,,,this is an awesome video. I am not in the states, but if you had a full detailed tutorial on data modelling, i woudl gladly pay for it.

  • @gvimontslice Thanks for the great explanation! Very clear and concise :)

  • Its difficult to see whats on the board. Should try to focus more on the board rather than on him all the time. Zoom in on where he writes.

    Thank you for posting this vid. Aside from the above mentioned problem, its a wonderful lecture

  • according to your opinion, it seems the foreign key only introduced in 3rd N.

    the compound primary key introduced in 1st N.

  • i wish i had a lecturer as good as you:)

  • Hey , i wanna thank you for the video series , i have an exam tomorrow and up to this point i haven't understood data normalization , this taught me allot.
