Database modeling and -concepts
Hello,
I'm still quite new to Oracle Databases.
At the moment I'm looking into the topics round "database modeling", "database concepts", e.g. rules to design the tables and relationships and so on.
Maybe someone can help me where I can find some whitepapers, documentations on Oracle sites which show me the best or basic ways how to define tables and relationships between database objects in an Oracle Database?
For example, i heard it would be a good way to put all "not null" columns of a table to the beginning when defining it with "CREATE TABLE"-statement.
Does anyone know where i can find helpful whitepapers or documentations on these topics in the ORacle Technology Network or somewhere else?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

First of all you need to distinguish between data modelling and implementation. Because many tools only deal with the physical side of database design (tables, columns, indexes) it is quite common for beginners to miss this distinction.
Data modelling (entities, attributes and relationships) is not a product specific topic and you might be best off looking at generic sites. William Kent wrote a simple introduction to the five Normal Forms. Then check out DataModel.org. Alf Pedersen has some good papers on an assortment of database design issues. If you want a head start on modelling, Barry Willaims has[b]published more sample designs than you could shake a stick at (they are for MSSQL but still quite helpful).

Problems with database modelling and primary keys
Hi,
I use JDeveloper exclusively for data modelling and generating the sql to build my db.
Its good but i have found a bug that can be rather annoying:
If i change the primary key of a table, the change does not seem to register within the model. So when i try and create a foreign key relationship to another table, the type is of the old type (say i went from varchar2 to number).
The only way around this is to delete the table and create it again. This also causes problems because the db generation wizard will then refuse to open properly (because it does not know that a table has been deleted).
Is this a known issue?
Cheers
RakeshIs this forum meant for reporting bugs or not? This issue i have stated is repeatable and in the current version.

Importing Models and DataBase Schema
JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.3.342
I have a model generated some minutes ago. I move the model to another position.
Then I delete the reference into the project.
I import the files.
I try to open the UML/DataBase model and I receive this error.
But when I check the structure, it is correct (also links between classes seemt to be there).
What could be the problem?

EAV modelling approach on database tables and how to use it in Forms Dvl
Hello,
I am dealing with two tables in data modell which are structured on EAV ( Entity-Attribute-Value ) modelling approach.
Survey( Survey# number not null,
Start_Date_Of_Survey date not null ,
End_Date_Of_Survey date null,
Sts_Of_Survey varchar2( 4 ) not null ,
Contractor_Partner# number not null, -- reference foreign key, to Partner's Table
Survey_Report CLOB ) ;
Survey# primary key of Survey.
Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register( Parameter# varchar2( 40 ) not null,
Additional_Parameter_Desc varchar2( 240 ) null,
Type_Of_Value varchar2( 60 ) not null,
Data_Type varchar2( 10 ) not null,
Unit varchar2( 10 ) null,
High_Value varchar2( 20 ) null,
Low_Value varchar2( 20 ) null );
Type_Of_Value Is restricted to : ATOMIC_VALUE, INTERVAL_VALUE_FROM_TO
Data_Type is restricted to: Date, time, number( X,Y ), varchar2,
Unit is varchar2 value not resstricted: for example: %, kg as kilo, m as meter, m/s as meter per second, null
This table is meta table so it suppose to be used as some register - static part of the schema.
Then I have table which attaches Parameters to the Survey as the association table
Survey_Parameters( Survey#, Parameter#, Value, Comment );
Primary key( Survey#, Parameter# );
I need to implement this in Forms and Reports.
My question is how to implement it to maximally make good use of Oracle forms 10g or 11g features and Oracle Reports 10g:
a) when fulfilling the survey and use of parsing rules supplied in Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register
b) at the producing as the survey report with reports
c) in data analyisis in data warehouse impementations.Hello Craig,
Thank you Craig for your answer.
I must confess that I am also not familiar with EAV theoretical background and concept. Till recently I even did not know that this kind of problem could be placed
in theoretical background called EAV. This put smile nad releive on my mind. Because since this moment I do not feel this kind of problem as some exception or
some exceptional tools or data design ( object modelling and object databases ) suppose to be used. This way I can still counted on concepts in RDBMS databases
and applications. Well I guess so.
Let me comment and answer on your text between your lines.
I am only conceptually familiar with EAV modeling, so I don't claim to be an expert! ;-) Given the abstract way in which data is stored with EAV, I would suggest that you first create a SQL Query that will produce the desired record set.
Ok. But I guess you have in mind to transform vertical set of values to horizontal ( pivoting, transposing )?
View has cast operator that transform data type of each parameter from general ( e.g. varchar2 ) to the one that is registered in the
Meta_Parameter_Register. This way it is provided to get the survey with the list of assigned parameters in horizontal shape?
Once you have this, you can either use the Query as the source of a Database View and then base your Forms data block on this view or you can use the query in a Procedure and base your Forms data block on the procedure or lastely, you could use the query directly and base your Forms data block on the query using the "From Clause" option.
Ok, I think I understand it.
So When I have horizontal list there is challenge during
- insert
- delete
- update
operations how to handle these operations to transform to vertical operation.
This could only be done with Forms data block based on procedure and instead of triggers?
The simplest option would be to create a DB view and base your block on the view. You will not be able to update the data however. If you need to be able to change or add new data, I would suggest you use a Procedure based block. Take a look at these links for additional information on using Procedure and From Clause based blocks.
Ok Craig, sounds like it makes sense.
IT seems your suggestion is caling for some simpler example with the same characteristic of the problem.
Like two tables:
Master( Master#, ..... )
Detail( Master#, Detail#, value_low_or_just_value, value_high, data_type )
Forms: How to base a block on a FROM clause Query
Forms: How to base a data block on a Procedure
Ok,
Hope this helps,
I see your point and it makes sense , it is only the challenge to see how much of flexibility I can reach and how cheap workarounds are to preserve
the level of flexibility in the tools that are not naturally supporting EAV ( like forms and reports ).
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.
Sure...
We are on the line.
I am sure there is someone else in the community that experienced this kind of challenge. -
Good database design and modelling books

Hi Girish Thanks for the information.
I would definitely look into this book later.

As this book is international edition,for shipping it is taking 8-10 business days and by that time I need to complete designing my database and probably I might need to some other book.
Is this a school assignment? I hope so. Referring back to your opening statement "I need to work on designing a database from the scratch by creating logical database design and then physical database design.I'm new to database design." I can only say that database design is a very big subject. If you are starting from a position of no knowledge at all, I'm afraid there is nothing that is going to give you the knowledge you need in the time frame you have. I will say you need to start by learning the rules of Data Normalization. Make your logical design Third Normal Form. Good can be your friend. There is actually a pretty good write-up on Data Normalization on Wikipedia. -
Create repository from database model- snowflake facts and dimension joins
I am working on a project that has a database model similar to the image in the link below.
There are other few tables around it, but this generally represent the spine or major database model. This is not exactly a snowflake schema as there are no intrinsic hierarchy in the dimension tables. As you can see dim2 and dim4 has one to many relationship with dim3. there are joins between the fact tables as well.
From some blogs and forum threads, I found out that I can create one fact/dimension table by joining many fact/dimension tables. Is this a right approach? Any thoughts on this model please?
Thanks,
Rakesh
ps: I am using Windows XP Pro and OBIEE 10.1.4.3.1 and right now analyzing the data to create a repository.Hi Rakesh,
As above post says you combine all fact tables into single fact table with other dimension tables so it would become a simple start schema .Go throught these blogs for further information .

Insert XML file into Relational database model without using XMLTYPE tables
Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Constraints : Input via XML files defined by third party
Storage : relational database model with hundreds of tables and thousands of existing queries that can not be touched. The model must not be altered.
Target : get this XML into the database on a daily basis via an automated process.
Cheers.
Luc.Luc,
your Doomed !
If you would try something like DBMS_XMLSTORE, you probably would be into serious performance problems in your case, very fast, and it would be very difficult to manage.
If you would use a little bit of XMLType stuff, you would be able to shred the data into the relational model very fast and controlable. Take it from me, I am one of those old geezers like Mr. Tom Kyte way beyond 40 years (still joking). No seriously. I started out as a classical PL/SQL, Forms Guy that switched after two years to become a "DBA 1.0" and Mr Codd and Mr Date were for years my biggest hero's. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Tom Kyte for all his efforts for bringing the concepts manual into the development world. Just to name some off the names that influenced me. But you will have to work with UNSTRUCTURED data (as Mr Date would call it). 80% of the data out there exists off it. Stuff like XMLTABLE and XML VIEWs bridge the gap between that unstructured world and the relational world. It is very doable to drag and drop an XML file into the XMLDB database into a XMLtype table and or for instance via FTP. From that point on it is in the database. From there you could move into relational tables via XMLTABLE methods or XML Views.
You could see the described method as a filtering option so XML can be transformed into relational data. If you don't want any XML in your current database, then create an small Oracle database with XML DB installed (if doable 11.1.0.7 regarding the best performance --> all the new fast optimizer stuff etc). Use that database as a staging area that does all the XML shredding for you into relational components and ship the end result via database links and or materialized views or other probably known methodes into your relational database that isn't allowed to have XMLType.
This way you would keep your realtional Oracle database clean and have the Oracle XML DB staging database do all the filtering and shredding into relational components.
Throwing the XML DB option out off the window beforehand would be like replacing your Mercedes with a bicycle. With both you will be able to travel the distance from Paris to Rome, but it will take you a hell of lot longer.

Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da
Hello Everyone,
Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
ThanksHello A S!
What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access on the data is more efficent.
the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.
Best regards,

Direct database request and session variable value
Hi,
I have a problem by doing the following : idea is to have report with a list of all tables in user schema (which are not all in repository physical layer).
By clicking on the name of any, should bring answer report which is done as direct database request doing basically select * from table_clicked (this will be basically the same table with sufix _err holding error rows).
What I'm trying to do is having some kind report for error rows which can be in different tables in my database. So i had in mind to construct name of table i need , and pass it to database request through session variable. Am i doing right by doing direct database request like this :
select * from 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.TestVar2)'
Is there another easyer way of doing this? I know this can be done by gourl by passing parameters but not sure how when i can't filter columns in direct database request (this can be different tables with different names of columns). I hope i didn't complicated this too much.
Thnx in adwanceHi,
I know this is a hack, and would be much more easy to create one table with dimension and measures, but this is intended to be used with code generator, which can produce different error tables with different column names in different time: It is not conviniet for somebody to add them to repository every 5 minutes. For example : i run my workflow and for first run I have errors in table1(let us say customer table with 30 columns) and if click on the table name in some answer report, i want to see all the bad records in the table. Tomorrow after the run, there are bad records in table1 and in table2 (lets say products) so I would have choice to pick table 1 or table2 and see al the bad records in any of these tables. This means that I can not now which tables will I have tomorrow, and as it is generic, I can manually add some tables in my model, and would have to add err table also as a possibility to have error rows?
I saw post saying that you can pass parameter value by using go url functionality, by modifying configinstance file, but didn't suceed - http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/logical_sql/obiee_session_variable_go_url . Maybe some mistake or any better solution? I created session variable TestVar2, also modified instanceconfig.xml by adding this before </ServerInstance>
<ParamList>
<Param name="NQ_SESSION.TestVar2" source="url" nameInSource="SETVAR"/>
</ParamList>
and used go url in column formula : ''||"Physical Targets"."Physical Table"||''
Can I use @1 for using first column value?

Install instructions for Search Modeler and integrating with Apps 11i
Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially

ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local
cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
yes
install OC4J just by copying over the directory
as oracle on aussearchdev
mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .
ADF install
vi /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf/adfinstaller.properties
change the following
OracleHome = /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
DesHome = /d01/oracle/oc4j/
type = OC4J
as root
cd /usr/bin
rm java
(yes)
ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java
su - oracle
java -version should now return 1.5.0_22
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
cd /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
java -jar runinstaller.jar -version
returns The version for the ADF libraries being installed is 10.1.3.41.57 - yes, that is apparently 10.1.3.3.
java -jar runinstaller.jar adfinstaller.properties
output looks good, do not be concerned by
WARNING: 'Could not delete: /d01/oracle/oc4j/BC4J/redist/bc4j' whilst deleting bc4j application

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp
Country US
State Texas
Locality Austin
Organization Name Corporation
Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
Email address [email protected]
No challenge password
No optional company name
Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
Install the private key and certificate
cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt
cp server.crt server.crt.backup.03102010
chown applmgr:applmgr server.crt.backup.03102010

bounce apache as applmgr
cd /d01/oracle/erniecomn/admin/scripts/ERNIE_ausernieapp

Continue
Click on Certificate Error next to URL bar
Install Certificate -> Next-> Place all certificates in the following store -> trusted root certificate authorities ->finish
close browser, back to https://ausernieapp.domainname.com:8443
no errors,
Next step will be to import key into the SES and Search modelers

./searchctl startallBelow are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially
rh4 x86, default oracle build

http://blogs.oracle.com/ebssearch/2009/10/available_now_oracle_search_modeler_11_for_oracle_e-business_suite_11i.html
and specifically
OC4J - http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/101330/oc4j_extended_101330.zip
ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local
cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
yes
install OC4J just by copying over the directory
as oracle on aussearchdev
mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .
ADF install
vi /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf/adfinstaller.properties
change the following
OracleHome = /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
DesHome = /d01/oracle/oc4j/
type = OC4J
as root
cd /usr/bin
rm java
(yes)
ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java
su - oracle
java -version should now return 1.5.0_22
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
cd /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
java -jar runinstaller.jar -version
returns The version for the ADF libraries being installed is 10.1.3.41.57 - yes, that is apparently 10.1.3.3.
java -jar runinstaller.jar adfinstaller.properties
output looks good, do not be concerned by
WARNING: 'Could not delete: /d01/oracle/oc4j/BC4J/redist/bc4j' whilst deleting bc4j application
WARNING: 'Could not delete: /d01/oracle/oc4j/BC4J/redist/datatags' whilst deleting datatags application

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./oc4j -start
you will be prompted for password - we're setting it. use XXXXXXXXXX
after it's up, kill it (ctrl-c) and restart it with
nohup ./oc4j -start &
last lines in nohup.out is

export ORACLE_HOME=/d01/oracle/oc4j
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/ant/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
nohup ./modeler.sh -start &
end of nohup.out should show

Try going to http://aussearchdev:8888/modeler/faces/ModelerHome.jsp
Should get login screen, but wait, we haven't installed Oracle Apps interface yet...
Next let's do the Apps side of things
Going by note 953378.1

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp
Country US
State Texas
Locality Austin
Organization Name Corporation
Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
Email address [email protected]
No challenge password
No optional company name
Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
Install the private key and certificate
cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt
cp server.crt server.crt.backup.03102010
chown applmgr:applmgr server.crt.backup.03102010

bounce apache as applmgr
cd /d01/oracle/erniecomn/admin/scripts/ERNIE_ausernieapp
./adapcctl.sh stop

Click on Certificate Error next to URL bar
Install Certificate -> Next-> Place all certificates in the following store -> trusted root certificate authorities ->finish
close browser, back to https://ausernieapp.domainname.com:8443
no errors,
Next step will be to import key into the SES and Search modelers

you can modify the logLevel from the default of 4 to 2 to get better debug data. No services need to be restarted, it will become active with the next crawl.

yet another forum suggested taking a cleanly shut down model.mdf and model.ldf from another sql server 2008 instance and placing those in the data directory while moving the 'restoring' ones to a backup location. this didnt work either. any help is appreciated im new to sql server and this is very frustrating! thanks in advance!I have the same issue on SQL Server 2008R2, after a server reboot, but none of the NET START commands or command line attempts are successful to start the Service.
NET START command results in "Access Denied" "System Error 5" and the Command line attempts result in

Insert XML file into Relational database model - no XMLTYPE!
Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Cheers.
Luc.
Edited by: user6693852 on Jan 13, 2009 7:02 AMIn case you decide to follow my advice, here's a simple example showing how to do this.. (Note the XMLTable syntax is the preferred approach in 10gr2 and later..

Difference between OBIEE Logical Modelling and physical modelling
HI.
what is the difference between logical modeling (BMM) and physical modelling(Physical layer) in obiee admin tool
please narrate it in definition format
thank you
rakeshHi rakesh,
Administrator tool consists of 3 layers
Physcial layer:-It is typically first layer built in the repository.Contains objects representing the physical data sources to which the BI server submits queries.It may conatin multiple data sources.The common way is to import metadat from different databases.You can define joins after import if they are not defined.
Business model and mapping layer:-It is defined as business or logical models of data and specifies the mapping between the physical and business layers.This is where the physical schemas are simplified to form the basis for the end user.We can say data is seperated into facts and dimension tables
Presentation layer:-simplifies and organizes the business model to make it easy for users to understand and query
go through the user guides for all the definition and subject
Hope it helps you.my points?
By,
Kranthi

Logical Database design and physical database implementation
Hi
I am an ORACLE DBA basically and we started a proactive server dashboard portal ,which basically reports all aspects of our infrastructure (Dev,QA and Prod,performance,capacity,number of servers,No of CPU,decomissioned date,OS level,Database patch level) etc..
This has to be done entirely by our DBA team as this is not externally funded project.Now i was asked to do " Logical Database design and physical Database
implementation"
Even though i know roughly what's that mean(like designing whole set of tables in star schema format) ,i have never done this before.
In my mind i have a rough set of tables that can be used but again i think there is lot of engineering involved in this area to make sure that we do it properly.
I am wondering you guys might be having some recommendations for me in the sense where to start?are there any documents online , are there any book on this topic?Are there any documents which explain this phenomena with examples ?
Also exactly what is the difference between logical database design vs physical database implementation
Thanks and RegardsLogical database design is the process of taking a business or conceptual data model (often described in the form of an Entity-Relationship Diagram) and transforming that into a logical representation of that model using the specific semantics of the database management system. In the case of an RDBMS such as Oracle, this representation would be in the form of definitions of relational tables, primary, unique and foreign key constraints and the appropriate column data types supported by the RDBMS.
Physical database implementation is the process of taking the logical database design and translating that into the actual DDL statements supported by the target RDBMS that will create the database objects in a target RDBMS database. This will generally include specific physical implementation details such as the specification of tablespaces, use of specialised indexing (bitmap, clustered etc), partitioning, compression and anything else that relates to how data will actually be physically stored inside the database.
It sounds like you already have a physical implementation? If so, you can reverse engineer this implementation into a design tool such as SQL Developer Data Modeller. This will create a logical design by examining the contents of the Oracle data dictionary. Even if you don't have an existing database, Data Modeller is a good tool to use as a starting point for logical and even conceptual/business models.
If you want to read anything about logical design, "An Introduction to Database Systems" by Date is always a good starting point. "Database Systems - A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management" by Connolly & Begg is also an excellent reference.
