Conceptual vs Logical Data Models

The conceptual data model represents high-level concepts and relationships without implementation details, while the logical data model translates this into a more detailed structure closer to the database with tables, columns, keys and constraints. SQL statements are provided to retrieve data from the STUDENT and EXAM tables by surname, module, marks and other criteria.

Question 1
Explain the difference between a conceptual data model and a logical data Model.
The conceptual data model represents high-level, abstract concepts and relationships in the
domain of interest. It focuses on understanding the business requirements and capturing the
essential entities and their relationships without being concerned about implementation
details.
The logical data model translates the conceptual data model into a more detailed
representation that is closer to how the data will be stored and manipulated in the database
system. It focuses on defining the structure of the data in terms of tables, columns, keys,
constraints, and relationships.
