* Physical Data Independence
The operations on the data are independent from the way the data is laid out.
* high level query language
declarative: you describe what you want out of the database but you don't need to describe the algorithm to get the data out
* 부동산에서 location(입지)이 제일 중요한 것처럼,
데이터베이스에서는 performance(성능)가 제일 중요하다.
* middleware: 웹 서버 등등이 데이터베이스와 애플리케이션이 인터렉션하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다


* data model
a description of how the data is structured.
In the relational data model, the data and the database is thought of as a set of records.
* schema
sets up the structure of the database
* The data is the actual data stored within the schema.
