Logical data modeling is the exercise to document and define the relationships between data elements. Typically, it involves
# identifying entities (e.g., "customers", "orders") from the business environment # identifying how specific instances of each entity are differentiated from other instances, the logical key (e.g., "customer_id", "order_number")
# grouping together other attributes that describe the entity (e.g., "customer_address", "ship_to_address") AND which can also be uniquely determined based on the entity's key # finally, documenting the business rules (relationships) between the entities (e.g., "a customer may place one or more orders", "each order must be placed by exactly one customer") Note that logical data modeling does not consider any physical representation of how the data will be stored and it doesn't attempt to anticipate or correct any performance issues that may arise during implementation.
Tasks such as these occur during the physical data modeling phase. At this point decisions will have to be made about data storage (Oracle relational DB, VSAM files, JMS message stores, etc.). Considerations for how the data needs to be accessed, combined ("joined") and the performance characteristics of the intended deployment environment will be documented.
Taking the purely logical entities, attributes and relationships, the physical modeler makes (and documents the reasons for!!!) altering the logical model. One-to-many relationships may be "denormalized" into the "one side" of the relationship, forming a repeating group (e.g., collapsing "a customer may have multiple phone numbers" into just a "customer" entity with attributes of "home_phone", "work_phone", "mobile_phone", "fax_phone").
Decisions about where to place the data (same database? different databases on different servers?) as well as partitioning, archival, purging plans have to be done within the constraints of the business requirements.
Oddly enough, logical data modeling is more of a science and physical modeling is more of an art in that two business analysts can discuss the logical model and resolve most differences of opinion logically (so to speak) by providing real-world examples that would negate a particular representation. Physical database design is not so precise, however. The modeler must know (or anticipate) a number of things about future uses of the data and about the characteristics of the particular database management system, programming language(s), communication channels, etc. Many assumptions go into the creation of a physical model. How well that model will eventually perform depends, in large part, in the quality of those assumptions.
A logical database is the structure of data. It is the different pieces of information and the relationships between them.
Business system are the logical system which raise on technical system and these are created in SLD. Technical system are physical system which has system technical information like system server name, host name etc. Business services are used for B2B scenario and these are not created in SLD. These are used when we have not third party system information.
I think mba is better than mca if u have the logical thinking capacity then u can choose mca once u got good knowledge in mca then mca is better than mba no risk and just sitting in front system and doing all the things
Career planning that focuses on jobs and on identifying careers paths that provide for the logical progression of people between jobs in an organization.
There is not any one specific training that is required for working as a software project manager. However in depth knowledge of applications development, logical and physical database design and networking are needed.
difference between physical and logical data flow diagrams.
Network architecture refers to the design and structure of a network, including components, protocols, and technologies used for communication. Network topology, on the other hand, refers to the physical or logical layout of devices and how they are connected in a network, such as bus, star, ring, or mesh. In essence, network architecture defines how components work together, while network topology defines how components are arranged.
While physical tags are also referred to as presentational mark-up, logical tags are useless for appearances. Physical tags are newer versions while logical tags are old and concentrate on content.
Physical topology are says how the wire are interconnected, while Logical topology is how the network behaves and interoperates.Sk wasim ul HaqueKharagpur, Madpur
The logical database is how the data is percieved in the tables, the way the data is actually stored on the storage medium is the physical view of the database.
well of course one is logical and the other is physical. but one involves the brain while the other has to do with your body or movement

The concept of a logical address space is simply involved the process of mapping the Logical addresses to their Physical Addresses . Logical addresses are generated by the CPU; also referred to as virtual addresses.while Physical Address is the actual address of the data stored on the physical device and mapped by MMU.
A physical network is different from a logical network. Logical networks are defined at the Network layer by the arrangement of the hierarchical addressing scheme. Physical networks represent the interconnection of devices on a common media. Sometimes, a physical network is also referred to as a network segment
* Physical file (PF) contains the data and have only one record format. Logical file (LF) is a view of the physical file which does not contain any data may be based on one physical file or more then one physical file. Logical file can have more then one record format. Logical can be non join or join logical file. Performance becomes better if you use the logical file in the program.
The logical view presents data as they would be perceived by end users or business specialists, whereas the physical view shows how data are actually organized and structured on physical storage media.
A physical address is concrete and never changes. It is set in memory. A logical address is made up of a base pointer and an offset.It keeps programs running parallel and not intertwining.
