Shows how the entities connect to one another
Acts as a business requirement reference
Useful for a communication tool

Logical Data Model
@Chisom Nnamani

All the entities now have attributes (columns) associated with them
Primary and foreign keys are present
Data types are stated but not specific to any particular DBMS
There is improved cardinality such as one to many or many to many

Customer Orders Products

Order_id (varchar) Product_id (varchar)


Customer_id (varchar)
Customer_name (varchar) Product_name (varchar)
First_name (varchar)
Billing_details (varchar) Product_code (varchar)
Last_name (varchar)
Order_date (varchar) Description (varchar)
Address (varchar)
Shipment_address (varchar) Supplier_name (varchar)
Email (varchar)
Price (varchar)
Phone (varchar)

Physical Data Model
@Chisom Nnamani

Final blueprint for the database design


Data types are now specific to a particular DBMS
Foreign and primary keys are explicitly stated
Relationship cardinality are also improved

Customer Orders Orders details Products


Order_id (PK) INT(11) Order_details_id (PK) INT(11) Product_id (PK) INT(11)
Customer_id (PK) INT(11)
Customer_id (FK) INT(11) Order_id (FK) INT(11) Product_name VARCHAR(50)
First_name VARCHAR (50)
Customer_name VARCHAR (50) Product_id (FK) INT(11) Product_code VARCHAR(50)
Last_name VARCHAR (50)
Billing_details VARCHAR (50) Order_name VARCHAR(50) Description VARCHAR(50)
Address VARCHAR (50)
Order_date VARCHAR (50) Product_name VARCHAR(50) Supplier Name VARCHAR(50)
