Object Oriented model Vs. Flat file model



The difference between Object oriented and Flat file model

The object oriented structure has the ability to handle graphics, pictures, voice and text, types of data, without difficultly unlike the other database structures. This structure is popular for multimedia Web-based applications. It was designed to work with object-oriented programming languages such as Java.


Vs.


A flat file database describes any of various means to encode a database model (most commonly a table) as a single file (such as .txt or .ini).

Multidimensional model vs. Flatfile model



The difference between multidimensional and Flat file model


The multidimensional structure is similar to the relational model. The dimensions of the cube-like model have data relating to elements in each cell. This structure gives a spreadsheet-like view of data. This structure is easy to maintain because records are stored as fundamental attributes - in the same way they are viewed - and the structure is easy to understand. Its high performance has made it the most popular database structure when it comes to enabling online analytical processing (OLAP).

Relational model Vs. Flat file model


The difference between Relational and Flat file model

The relational model for database management is a database model based on first-order predicate logic, first formulated and proposed in 1969 by E.F. Codd.

Network model Vs. Flat file db model


The Difference between Network and Flat file model


  The network model is a database model conceived as a flexible way of representing objects and their relationships. Its distinguishing feature is that the schema, viewed as a graph in which object types are nodes and relationship types are arcs, is not restricted to being a hierarchy or lattice.







Vs.
A flat file database describes any of various means to encode a database model (most commonly a table) as a single file (such as .txt or .ini).

Hierarchical model vs. Flatfile db model



 The Difference between Hierarchical and Flat file model


A hierarchical data model is a data model in which the data is organized into a tree-like structure. The structure allows representing information using parent/child relationships: each parent can have many children but each child only has one parent (also known as a 1:many ratio ). All attributes of a specific record are listed under an entity type.

Physical to Electronic

"How Physical Data come up to Electronic Data?"
 
Well, for me I guess it should need the following to process:

1. Human Operator- Of course, you should have a man to operate the device on how to transfer your data.

2. PC unit- exactly, you should need this for the process to be done.

3. Electricity - without this? obviously, nothing will happen to your work.

4. Software programs- you have this programs for your data to be encode and save.

5.Input/output devices- in-order for you to put the data in the electronic device

6. save and install- for me,this is the last thing that you should do to process in order for you to view your data anytime.
