Database model

Database model is like a big filing cabinet that stores information. Imagine having a filing cabinet with slots labeled A-Z. Inside each slot, you can store lots of information such as your address, telephone number, birthday, etc. Just like a filing cabinet, a database model stores information in an organized way. The database model keeps track of where all the information is stored and makes sure it is easy to find.
