Relational models theory

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a box of toys. Each toy has different parts and each part has a name like wheels, body, and roof for a toy car. You can also have multiple toy cars with different colors and sizes.

Relational models theory is kind of like how we organize and understand our box of toys. It helps us make sense of how different things are related to each other.

In the same way, relational models theory is used to organize and understand data in a database. The data is separated into different parts like names, ages, and addresses for people. Each part is called a field, just like the wheels or body of a toy car.

Then, different records are created to represent different individuals in the database. Just like how you might have different toy cars, each with their own colors and sizes.

Overall, relational models theory helps us understand how all these different pieces of information relate to each other and how we can use them to get the information we need. It's kind of like a grown-up's way of organizing and playing with a box of toys!
