Abstract

A database system is composed of two elements: a software program, called a database management system, and a set of data, called a database. The data in a database is organized according to some data model, such as the relational model used in a DB2 database [DW88] or the hierarchical model found with IMS databases [Dat77] . Users access the data through an interface (the query language) provided by the database management system. A schema describes the actual data structures and organization within the system.
