1. Discuss four types of data models used in DBMS

 Entity – relationship model.ER model is best used for conceptual design of a database
and creates entity set, relationship set general attribute and constraints.
 Relational model. Sorts data into tables and also accounts for the type of relationships
among entities.
 Hierarchical model. Organizes data into a tree like structure where each record has a
single root and sorts the records in a particular order.
 Network model. Builds on the hierarchical model by allowing many to many
relationships between linked records.

2. Discuss different types of DBMS languages

 Data definition language. Used to create schema, tables, indexes and constraints in the
database.
 Data manipulation language. Used for accessing and manipulating data in database.
 Data control language. Used to retrieve the stored and saved data.
 Transaction control language. Used to save the transaction on the database and to restore
the database to original state.
